One of the deep human needs is for significance. Significance relates to that quality of meaningfulness. It appears to come from the outside, but actually, it is a feeling and sense that must be achieved deep within the self. When the person attains it, he or she has a clear sense that they value themselves and are valuable. It relates to a positive self-concept. Some strive for it through external validation; others seek it through appreciation of their goals, their values, or their uniqueness. Yet others realise it through a positive connection between themselves and community and in the way they add value to the community.
