i-Monday: Every Person is Important

“Without realizing it, we fill important places in each other’s lives. It’s that way with the guy at the corner grocery, the mechanic at the local garage, the family doctor, teachers, neighbors, coworkers. Good people who are always “there,” who can be relied upon in small, important ways. People who teach us, bless us, encourage us, support us, uplift us in the dailiness of life. We never tell them. I don’t know why, but we don’t.

And, of course, we fill that role ourselves. There are those who depend in us, watch us, learn from us, take from us. And we never know.

You may never have proof of your importance, but you are more important than you think. There are always those who couldn’t do without you. The rub is that you don’t always know who.”

This quote teaches us that every person we encounter in our lives is important. We might not see it or understand it right away, but eventually, we will. And, later on, we will begin to understand that we are equally as significant in the lives of those around us as well. Even if we don’t know how or why we are important, or to who exactly we are important to, we need to know that we are; everyone is.

From: This quote is from “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”, written by Robert Fulghum is an American Author, and the book from which the quote is from is how he came to fame. “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” was all about seeing the world from a child’s eyes, which became a worldwide phenomenon when it became published in 1988.
