It is hard to know your worth and value as a person when you have never been told enough by those around you how much you mean to them. To be told that your existence matters, and your absence is felt. Normally we go on with our days assuming that everybody is fine, and that they do not need assurance, that they are valued and important.
Well, the truth is, not everybody who looks OK, is OK. Your colleague who always dresses so neatly. Your neighbour who always greets you with a friendly smile. Your student who never misses class. Your child who never complains.
Not everybody who looks OK, is OK.
Always be mindful.
