ícone Somebody needs you

Have you ever felt like you had no value at all?

You might answer no, but many people have had their day of low self-esteem.

However, and for exactly these reasons, there is always someone who needs you.

There are quiet people who need someone to talk to.

There are sad people who need someone to cuddle them.

There are shy people who need someone to help them overcome their introversion.

There are lonely people who need someone to keep them company.

There are frightened people who need someone to hold their hand.

There are people who are strong, but they need someone to make them think about the best way to use their strength.

There are people who are talented, but they need someone to help them find out the best way to use their abilities.

There are people who wrongly believe they are not capable of anything, and they need someone to help them find out what they are capable of doing.

There are people who are always in a hurry, and they need someone to show them everything they do not have the time to see.

There are impulsive people who need someone to help them not to hurt anyone.

There are people who feel they are lost and they need someone to show them the way.

There are people who believe they have no value, and they need someone to show them how valuable they are.

You might be thinking you are not capable of helping anyone, but someone else might need you right now…

You do not need to be or may not be the solution for every problem, but do your best.

If you cannot be the gracious tree on the top of the hill, try to be the bush in the valley - but try to be the most beautiful bush in the valley.

If you cannot be a bush, try to be a branch – try to be the most exuberant branch that decorates the landscape.

If you cannot be a branch, try to be a small patch of grass to give some traveler a bit of joy…

If you wish to be a beautiful bunch of fragrant flowers and you cannot manage to do it, try to be a simple wild flower - but try to be the most attractive one.

When you make the effort to be useful to someone who needs you, you will always become stronger and more confident.

The happiness you will spread on your way will be the same happiness you will find on your path.

No matter how hard things are, never forget that someone needs you. And more significantly: you can help someone.

Earth is a big school where the Creator enrolled us to learn how to be happy.

The majority of people who live on this planet are not entirely happy.

We are all travelers on this road called evolution, and we might need help anytime.

Therefore, as people surround us all, it is important to be alert, because next to you there might be someone who needs you, at this exact moment.
