Who do you think is the most important person ever to live?

Important: Having great significance, big, consequential, historic, considerable, large, meaningful, monumental and substantial.

When I first read the question, my immediate reaction was important person to whom? While many different people in the past and present suddenly flooded my thoughts, without a doubt my answer is of course me! I am the most important person that has ever lived, right now at this very moment beginning with the second I was born.

Choosing myself is not because of preconceived notions or being conceded because I don't believe I'm better then you, it is simply because I believe in the enormous power of single individuality which in fact leads to great unity. I believe in myself first. Let's see, if I believe I am the most important person, then my children and husband are equally so and then there are my parents and grandparents who brought me into this world and their ancestors.

We are all important and our mere birth creates a chain effect that lasts inevitably forever. It really starts with us, doesn't it? If we only believe in ourselves, that we are in fact important and significant equally, then we would treat our family, friends and neighbors with great respect and importance. This would have hopefully avoided all the famine, wars, hate, theft, killings and hunger for power to be better then the other, while creating a peaceful world which all of us wish and hope for. Everything in life really starts with us, first and foremost. It is actually how we view the world we live in and therefore manifest our beliefs and expectations by our pure thoughts, dreams and visions.

While we are very important individuals consistently, united we project everything right down to all that is happening around the world at this very moment. We have the power to seize hunger, poverty, pollution and killings yet we choose not to. By giving our focus and attention the things we don't want to see, we are actually just creating more of it. Just as we have the power to preserve and nurture our planet, we are zealous and compassionate people who are capable of a lot more then we give ourselves credit for.

Many point fingers and judge others, while we walk around jaded and asleep awaiting our next most important leader, inventor and savior. We are not at the mercy of any other great individual, but ourselves. While awaiting another most important person, we are destroying and suffocating our planet
