What is most precious about us?
Is it our love, our creativity, our ability to listen?
Each person has qualities which make them precious.
They may be obvious, or they may be hidden.
These qualities may show up in youth, or they may develop through a lifetime of experiences.
What is precious is our heart of gold.
It is the core sense that we are valued.
When we feel it, others sense it.
It is something we can sense in other people, even the they do to see it themselves.
This is the purpose of community, of society, of civilization.
We are to recognize what is precious in each of us.
We are to give it room to grow.
We are to encourage it in ourselves and in others.
When we provide space for what is precious, we crowd out self-doubt.
We take up the space so negativity cannot enter.
We can appreciate each other across the entire world spectrum of cultures, languages, careers.
There is always room for the unique expressions of individual creativity.
We are not stuck with a limited amount of resources when we appreciate and recognize what is precious in each us.
We shine, and we fill up that space which defines us with joy, worthiness, and generosity.
We are all most precious.
