“Make Yourself Necessary To Someone”
Ralph Waldo Emerson is believed to have said, “Make yourself necessary to someone.” I love this quote, because I believe it holds the key to success. As a wife, I want to be the half that makes my husband whole, someone necessary in his life that completes his happiness. As a mother, I want to create a calm, loving, safe home–a soft place to fall when life throws curve balls at my children–a haven that’s necessary to them and comfy as an old shoe. As a personal trainer, I want to create value in the service I provide and become a necessary partner in my clients’ health and wellness. In the current economic environment, I certainly want to be necessary to my boss and a key player in achieving company goals! Emerson had it right, but I would also add: Make yourself necessary to someone…and know you’ve achieved success.
