Nobody is a Nobody

Through my life, career and church service, oftentimes I’ve heard phrases like “what does it really matter, I’m nobody,” or “I’m just one of the thousands, I’m nobody really”.

Perhaps in the past you may have felt you were a nobody, or maybe you are feeling right now that you are a nobody?

“We do ourselves a great injustice when we allow ourselves, through tragedy, misfortune, challenge, discouragement, or whatever the earthly situation, to so identify ourselves. No matter how or where we find ourselves, we cannot with any justification label ourselves “nobody.”” – said Marvin J. Ashton.

Frequently life, work and family challenges can get us down and cause us to question who we really are. We doubt ourselves, we doubt our self worth and confidence may fail us. I have been in too many coaching conversations where that has been the case.

Please, please be assured – you are a somebody!!!

You are endowed with great gifts, unique capabilities, special talents all waiting to be discovered, developed and finely tuned.

Each of us are needed.

You are unique.

You are where you are supposed to be.

No one, absolutely no one can take your place.

Everybody is somebody to me.

My simple invitation today is to invite you to be somebody, nobody thought you could be.
