How Important are You?

I’ve seen these two posts on Facebook this week and it kinda struck home. This first one is a data spew that I found fascinating:

ConsiderThis

This next one is from the aspect of space, a place that always makes me feel very small.

It would be easy to think that you are insignificant, unable to make a difference in this world. But I encourage you to push past those feelings. Think instead of this story my father told the Presbyterian faithful in Sigourney, Iowa back in the early 60s.

Imagine you are a spec on huge tapestry. You are such a small thing that from a few feet away you can not even be recognized. But if you make your little part of the tapestry as beautiful and clean as you can, the whole tapestry is better. And if you are lucky, very lucky, your neighbors will see what you are doing and they will make their little parts that much better. Now, suddenly, you have made a bigger impact than had you just ignored the whole idea of improving your little spot in the sun.
