If You’re Waiting for a Sign—This Is It

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

The Message

“You Are More Than You Think You Are.”

That’s it. Seven words. No fluff, no distractions. Just a quiet reminder for the weary commuter, the overthinker, the dreamer stuck in self-doubt, and the parent questioning if they’re enough. Because here’s the thing: we live in a world that constantly tells us to hustle, to prove, to do more, to be more. But the truth is, we already are enough. And not just enough—we are so much more.

Why This Message Matters

I chose this message because I know how easy it is to forget. I’ve been there—caught in the churn of responsibilities, old stories, and fears that whisper, “You’re not doing enough. You’re not enough.”

No!

“You Are More Than You Think You Are.”

It’s a message my inner child needed to hear when she felt unseen. It’s a message I still need to hear when the ego tries to take the wheel. And I know I’m not alone in this.

This message is a reminder to step back from the labels, the judgments, and the roles we play. It’s a call to reconnect with the deeper truth of who we are: infinite, creative, whole. It’s about peeling back the layers of doubt and fear to uncover the essence of our being—the light that has always been there.

The Intention Behind the Words

This isn’t just a motivational phrase; it’s an invitation to pause. To breathe. To remember. Imagine someone rushing down the freeway, lost in a mental loop about everything they haven’t done yet. They glance up, see those seven words, and something shifts. Maybe it’s subtle. A sigh, a loosening in their chest, a quiet sense of “maybe that’s true.”

I’m not trying to change someone’s life with a billboard—that’s too much pressure for seven words. But if it can create even a tiny crack in the armour of self-doubt and plant a seed of possibility, then it’s worth it.

The Power of Collective Ripples

The beauty of a message like this is in the ripples it creates. When we remember our worth, it changes how we show up. It softens our edges, opens our hearts, and connects us more deeply with others. It’s like lighting a candle: the flame spreads, warming us and everyone we meet.

So, what would my billboard say? “You Are More Than You Think You Are.” Because we are. And the world needs us to remember.

    For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10

    This is the meaning of life and when we submit to The Holy Spirit’s we will do amazing things in our life

      Lovely, thank you, Ropheka. Indeed, the truth that we are His masterpiece often lies hidden in the shadows of doubt and small thinking. Imagine the transformation if everyone, as His children, fully embraced and lived out of this divine truth—letting His Spirit guide all of us to step boldly into the bigness of His purpose for our lives. What a world that would be!
