Make A Difference

Making the world a better place than we found it, is an amazing way to make our journey on Earth meaningful. This requires making a positive difference by rising above life’s challenges and working for a better tomorrow with hope and courage. Life on Earth is an opportunity to bring about the goodness you want to see around you, be it in small and simple gestures or great achievements.

‘It is better to have a meaningful life and make a difference than to merely have a long life’ is a saying by Bryant H. McGill.

Initializing a positive change is a catalyst for bringing about the difference you want to see in society. It is not about going over the board and doing great things but doing a little every often, that brings hope in the lives of people around us, creating the difference they look for.

Make an impact

Did you know that there is power within you to make an impact on society? Though not instantly, what you choose to stand for, can bring about a meaningful difference around you.

It’s quite easy to go with the flow, without looking around to see how and where a change is required and how we contribute towards bringing it about. When positive changes happen, don’t we feel overwhelmed with joy? Don’t we belong to the same world sharing a responsibility in making it a better place?

Empathizing and standing with those in need of help, serving in meaningful ways, making conscious decisions, and exerting a positive influence on society are ways to stand out, lead by example, and leave your footprint for the next generation to follow.

Your Voice

Do you wait for someone else to raise a concern, voice an opinion, promote awareness, or stand up for ideals? Usually, as long as we stay in our comfort zone, we find it futile to think about the world around us. We may assume that our actions don’t matter, that speaking up might offend someone, or that no one cares.

Hesitating to make a difference won’t help you stand up for what you believe in. At times when one step was enough to make you heard, you may have easily given up without knowing the power within you. For as long as you’re quiet, people are free to have their judgments about your silence.

By speaking up when you’re required to do so, you will be able to inspire others and influence important decisions and changes that make a big difference. Whereas being silent about everything promotes emotional repression, and erodes your confidence. Although it’s not easy to bring about a change, never trying is not a solution to the problem. Sometimes, simple actions such as a kind gesture, a smile, a firm reply, or supporting a cause could make a positive impact.

The Difference

No one has control over what goes on in the world. But you have control over what ‘you’ do. Choose to give voice to your intentions, and take the courage to take the right actions to make a difference that is much needed. There’s strength within you, which remains hidden as long as you shy away from being different.

Bring about the change within you, focus on what you ought to do, and know what difference you could make. Be the light you want to see around you and keep it shining.
