I have been reading an interesting book and found this point rather interesting. The author wrote..." If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I'll tell you what you are. That determines your character. That is the most significant thing about you. So what makes you feel important?

Being alive makes me feel important, we each have a job here on earth. To make use of yourself to make others enjoy their lives too! I love making people smile, as a professional musician I do that. A gift to me is a gift to you. I would do it for free if the cost of living wasn't so high. One of the most enjoyable things I have ever done was going to a senior citizen home and playing for them, the only payment I received was their smile. Of all the money making scenarios I can remember, I remember that one the most. I would do it again and again if I had the time.

seems you've got some talent there. I just went last night and watched April Wine...met the drummer after the show...even though they are quite old now the talent has grown stronger....what an amazing gift to have. I have no musical talent so I envy you(unless I'm in the shower ...lol).
When I was in college, my teacher told me during my lesson, "Performing is Giving". Now, I tell it to my students all the time.

I'm a teacher mom, so absolutely I'm a life coach and my students are young teenagers so I feel good knowing that I can make a change. I love going to work each day.
I'm heading out for the evening dear so you enjoy yourself and take care!
Well that makes complete sense looking at your advise on this sight. A life coach just like mentioned earlier.Is this what you do for a living then?If not maybe you would consider something like that.

It sounds like the author is a psychologist. I'm so tired of their half truths.. gatekeepers of wholesome truth. what you are is human. what makes you feel important is just an integral part of your identity or physical ego. It doesn't say much about 'what' you are. A feeling is a feeling is a feeling.

Yes it do, and I wasn't downplaying the role of an ego.. an ego is certainly important for a physical identity.. trying to destroy it can expose other less friendly qualities, and they will be much less concealed.. it isn't pleasant. And it can be a great cause for depression.
thats a valid point of view and no it wasn't a psychologist actually but you are right...we all have an ego. I have to say though that a feeling of importance inspires one to keep on keepin on.

I have seen many people die in my life. In most cases, except for the traumatic deaths, the elders had a reason to live. My Grandfather lived with his cancer until he learned I had returned safely back to my base in California after making the long drive back. Once my Mother told him I had made it safe and sound after visiting him, he closed his eyes, smiled, went to sleep, and then stopped breathing.
If a person has no reason to live, often times they wont.
My existence is my own curiosity, wonder, and knowledge that the more I learn, the less I know I actually know - and the more I want to learn.
I can agree with that Randy...some questions require a lot of responsibility in that they are quite serious to the asker.
