i just got off the phone with a dear friend.
one of those people who’s been a real positive force in my life
he heard some good news about me lately and before we hung up he said something simple
“keep going. the world needs you.”
at first it sounds almost cheesy.
but then you sit with it for a second.
you should actually try saying that to yourself.
“the world needs me.”
and if you say it and it doesn’t feel true
then maybe you’re not doing enough yet to make it true.
because the world is in pain right now.
and the world needs people who show up.
that world might mean the whole planet.
or it might just mean the people around you.
your friends. your family. your community.
they’re your world.
and you’re someone else’s world too.
so keep going.
the world needs you.
