You matter more than you think. And I would say, focus on the small things today. There's someone who needed you today. One of the lines that other people do for them when they feel that they matter is say these five words if it wasn't for you. Look at your own life though and say, if it wasn't for me. There's someone that relies on you. There's someone you had to take to practice or to school.

If you just say hi to a grocery store clerk, learn their name, learn something about their life, what research finds is that you will typically then see the reaction that they had, and you will start to see that, whoa, my presence, my inputs into this system around me that I call life, make a difference for someone else.
