Three Ways That You Can Make A Real Difference

‘You’re significant, you’re meaningful, you matter, and you can make a difference.’ Carlos Santana


Never underestimate the power of being you. You are someone
of incredible value.
You see things that others fail to see. You understand things that others fail to comprehend. You
have a view of the world that is visible only to you. You have a voice that speaks truths and asks
questions that arouse discussion that leads to the attainment of
greater knowledge.

You are of incredible value – and here are just three things you
need to know that are the currency that adds up to such a precious life.

1. Know That You’re Significant -

You are not irrelevant. You are not irrational. You are not insignificant. You were born with a mission. And it is your
commission to discover that mission and to fulfill that mission. You were never formed to simply take up space and suck up the
oxygen that could have been used by someone else with
greater talent than yourself. Who said anything about talent? If you look at others and compare
yourself with those around you, you will always come up short.
You are significant. Your actions are of vital significance. Your words are of essential significance. You being you is
significant. You are significant and without you bringing that significance to bear on our world
we would be left holding insignificance in our hands. Our
lives are transformed
significantly by those who accept and embrace their significance and believe and act as a
significant one.

2. Know That You’re Meaningful -
To be meaningful is to have a meaning or a purpose. It is to live
a meaningful life. For a life lived with purpose will be lived on purpose. It has direction. It has
focus. It has attached to it actionable steps that will lead towards an end, a dream, or a
goal. It does not meander aimlessly. It does not wake up in
wonder – wondering what to do next. It is a life lived under the
direction of a compass that guides its path – no matter the terrain, no matter the weather, no matter the impossibilities of
the forces that resist its progress forward.
A meaningful life pursues purpose with every footstep taken, every word uttered, every plan made and every detour explored. For each meaningful
thought is another brick added to the foundations of a life
destined to be the sound architectural construction that it
was destined to become.

3. Know That You Matter -
To be needed is one of the most powerful concepts to drive away self-centerdness. And to know that your contribution, your
involvement, your leadership and
your being is of vital importance, drives deep the pylons of ‘you can make a real difference’ into
the fiber of your being.
Scientifically, matter is what makes our world a reality.
Spiritually, matter is the unseen part of you that impacts the
physical world that we live in.

For centuries mankind has debated as to the consistency of matter – but all arguments aside – no matter what others think or
say – you matter – and it is because of that undeniable fact
that you can make a real difference to your life, your families lives and to the world
that benefits greatly from your presence in it.

You, yes you, can make a real difference. So go and make a difference.

And while we’re discussing this here, how do you think you can make a difference today?
