You might not believe this but you are powerful.  You can change the course of history.  You can move the world forward.  You already touch the lives of so many people in a very profound way. But do you know whose life you need to impact the most? Yours.

Begin to see all the things that are invisible to you.  Begin to see the things about you that other people see.  You may not wish to become a famous orator or activist.  Regardless, it will serve you to start believing that your words and actions have merit.

It will serve you to understand that you are not only deserving of an amazing life, but it is your birthright.

Society tells you to play small, to not come across as arrogant.  But there is no arrogance in being proud and grateful for the skills and blessings you have been given.  

The blaring TV tells you that without shiny hair you are lacking.  Without a new car or slim waist you are lacking.  The entire premise of that box is to belittle you.  It's goal is to have you feel so poorly about yourself that you will spend whatever amount of money is needed to belong.

Regardless of religion you are also told in religious texts that their is a supreme deity and you must acknowledge your meagerness in their "house"

So many people tell you that you are just one man, one woman.  You cannot move mountains, nor should you try.  Sit back and play small.  Well, you are not of that mindset.  You are not boastful, you are proud.  You are not selfish with your abilities.  You profess them and use them to better mankind.

Society will try and keep you down, keep you in line.  The good news, you are already in line.  You are on a path of self-assuredness, a path that leads to a life of magnificence.
