I have a daring proposition for you: What you seek is also seeking you. Your life really matters. Who you are and what you are is precious and priceless, and you offer the world gifts it has never had before. You have within you vast potential and unique talents that yearn for expression, and for which the world around you hungers. You also have great power to exert. For example, whenever you change, the world around you also changes. You make a difference by realizing that you are the difference, and that you are needed. This realization places you on the pathway not only to giving the world what it needs,but to fulfilling your greatest dreams. You can make that difference-and your life-a powerful and positive force- but to walk this pathway and persist in it requires courage.
