Do you wake up every morning and say “I’m going to change the world today!”? Most of us would feel a bit grandiose saying that, yet many of us really DO want to change the world, we DO want to make a difference. And we often feel discouraged and disheartened at our inability to do that.
But the truth is you DO make a difference. The question is “What kind of a difference do you make?”
Positive or Negative?
Every day you have many opportunities to make a difference.
When you’re driving down the freeway and someone pulls in front of you, do you yell and shake your fist? Or do you send them a kind thought?
When someone in your family interrupts your work do you let them know (silently or not so silently) that they’re bothering you? Or do you set aside what you’re doing and listen attentively?
When you’ve waited in line a long time to order your morning latte are you a tad crabby when it’s finally your turn? Or do you say something empathetic to the busy barista?
How you choose to respond to and interact with others will determine whether the difference you are making is...
