If you have had any positive impact on anyone/anything -- no matter how big or small -- then you have value. Sometimes the impact we have on others is greater than we perceive, and we start thinking that we are "useless" or "worthless" because we haven't done something earth-shattering like get elected to parliament or broken a world record. But you never know ... that time you gave someone a friendly smile may not have meant much to you, but to them, your smile could have meant the world.

Thank you justfloating =]
Sometimes I worry that I make people unhappy because its hard for me to see the good. I usually feel like the bad parts of me outweighs the good. I know being down hurts the people around me, especially if my judgment isn't too good and I'm not thinking clearly. Sometimes I worry that my smiles are not enough. But I keep trying. Maybe that's enough?
Thank you for reminding me that the little things count.
