Let People Feel Your Worth

We all have our needs that need to be satisfied. We express some of them explicitly, and for some of them it is not usual to spoken out aloud;  nevertheless they do not cease to be less significant for us. One of these needs is the need to feel appreciated by others.

​Regardless of gender, age and occupation, absolutely every person needs to feel appreciated, and highly respected. A person wants to feel that their actions to some extent can influence the course of certain events. But, as a rule, this need to feel important remains unsatisfied. People often feel insignificant in a huge system.

You have probably heard people say: “I am an insignificant person,” “what can I do?”, “I am just a modest clerk (teacher, driver, etc.)" . Behind each one of these statement is a person’s desire to feel that they are significant and can do something that is important to at least a small group of people. Do not underestimate this need. After all, when a person is allowed to feel their own peculiarity and significance, they try to prove themselves in the best light. People thrive in an atmosphere of approval and recognition, and sometimes they can show such abilities and talents, the presence of which they themselves were not aware of.

Try to remember the time in your life when someone gave you the opportunity to feel significant and special. What did you feel then? Has it affected you in any way? I am sure you felt the warmest feelings for the one who made you feel important.

One of the most successful female entrepreneurs, Mary Kay Ash said: “When talking to any person, imagine that there is a sign on his chest that says“ Let me feel significant” and communicate with them as if at that very moment that person means a lot to you."
Admire people, recognize their merits and talents, value their abilities and you will see what kind of spiritual response there will be in the soul of each of them. Indeed, in reality it is not so difficult to see individuality in each person and let them feel their own significance.
