Significance

One great need we have as humans is the need to be needed. We all need to know that we are significant. Significance gives your life meaning and without it you start to feel useless or not needed.

It's fun for me to watch people and how they go about getting significance. Some get it by being the know-it-all. Some get it by serving others. Some people get it by wanting to be in control of others. Some have short term significance by complaining, flirting, new car, clothes etc. True significance comes when you combine the talents you have with service to others.

Knowing that we all have a need for significance can serve us in many ways. If your in sales you can build customers by giving great service which gives them significance. You can build a great relationship with friends and family by giving appreciation and time which gives them significance. People never forget how you make them feel, so make them feel significant because they are.

1. Know what your talents are and use them to serve others and you will get your significance.
2. Make others feel significant because they are.
3. Know that you are significant and important.
