I’m a firm believer that the biggest difference we can make in the world is not one that requires a lot of time, money, skill, education, or even talent.
I may not be able to go overseas and drill wells for a village but I can turn off my cell phone when the cashier checks me out at the grocery store, look her in the eyes, and thank her for her kindness in ringing up my groceries.
I can look people in the eye when they speak to me, I can smile in return and with all of my heart wish them a good day. Who knows, they just might have one as a direct result of my wishing. Stranger things have happened.
I truly believe that the biggest difference you can make in the world requires the ability to see people with your heart rather than your eyes or your preconceived notions, and to then take your heart and lift it up into your smile.
We all make a difference every day. The tiniest drop of water can lead to a wave and just because I don’t get to see my drop roll into that crashing tide doesn’t mean that I’m not contributing.
