Difference

I imagine the majority of people in this world want to make a difference. I also imagine that the majority of those people do not know what steps to take in order to make the difference they want to. How can we make the difference we want to see in the world without knowing what to do? Life would be 100 times easier if we had a handbook on what to do and when to do it. Incredible thought - but there is no such thing.  Instead, we get to walk through our life day by day and attempt to make a change that we see fit in our own lives. By changing something you do in your own life you are more likely to make an impact on others. Through making an impact on others, you make an impact on the world. Whether we realize it or not, a lot of us have already made an impact, we just don’t see it. We want something tangible. Something to which we can say, “I did that - I made that happen.” There’s something about humans that need the material satisfaction. The world to know my name – this is a common dream of many, as they believe the world knowing their name is the only way to make a difference. Unlike those few select celebrities who have made it to this point we will have to be secure in the fact that those who do know our names, know them for a good reason. I’m not sure any of us want to become known because we did something so terrible and horrible it affected hundreds of people. If that is what it takes to make a difference in the world – I’m happy just making an impact on those who I’ve met. I’d rather be known by few for being a good, honest, truthful person than known by many for being a complete mess.

Just saying.
