When you imagine a life of making a difference, what do you see?

2. Believe it or not, when it comes to making a difference it does not have to be this ROCK THE WORLD
Phenomenon that a lot of people are led to believe.
Those who want to make a difference but are not necessarily out to do anything “major”, or at least what
the world would see as major, are sometimes turned off because the difference that they see themselves
making is simply by helping someone or even taking on a small cause. Because the world is so affixed on
the difference that we make has to be so huge, one can easily see themselves are not making a difference.
I beg to differ. A life of making a difference does not have to be a life where you wake up and you figure out
the cure for H.I.V./Aids.
A life of making a difference can be as simple as walking down the street and
saying “hello” with a smile on your face to someone you may not know.
It can be as simple as helping an elderly person across the street or even giving kind words to the Barista
at Starbucks.
Making a difference in the world is your call.
How do you want to make a difference? How do you want to be remembered? Or would you prefer the
anonymous route? Either way, what I am pointing to is that you get to design how you make a difference.
Now here is the challenge. One can make a difference on any given day. But what if you wanted to live a
life of making a difference? Sounds sexy right? Well I want you to know that living this type of life may
seem easier said that lived.
Since I have been speaking and making a difference with students across the world, there are some days
where my excitement level is on 10! I am jumping from the ceilings and my energy is infectious.

3. WHO DARE AVOID MY DIFFERENCE MAKING POWERS!!!
Then there are some days when I wake up and I don’t want to be
this transformed person who is out to make a difference.
Sometimes I just want to lay in my bed, eat pizza and chocolate
covered peanuts and watch reruns of America’s Next Top Model.
Well as much as I would love to do that living a life of making a
difference will call upon you in the moments even when you feel like
you want someone to make a difference with you or you don’t feel
like making a difference at all.
The Good News Is, when you live this type of life, the results and rewards are immeasurable. The Bad
News . . . None really. The most bad news I could give you is that some days you won’t be able to stay in
bed watching reruns when you really want to. However, when you see the difference that has been made
just by you choosing to live a life of making a difference, it far outweighs all the best reruns in the world.
So are you ready to live a life that when you have left the building someone’s life is changed, FOREVER?
If you are up for that, I invite you to a life of making a difference no matter how large or how small, but
simply because you did choose this, the world will be changed.
