Change the World

Most of us will never get a Nobel Peace Prize, a Pulitzer Prize, or an Olympic gold medal. Few will ever become household names. Still, each and every one of us can make a difference in the world.

I’ve met people who are excellent cooks and change the world by sharing the love they put into their food. I’ve meet people who are good listeners and others who are great huggers; they change people’s lives by their caring, comforting, and compassion. I’ve also met people who are very talented and help bring beauty and joy into the world through their artwork.

It need not be some grand undertaking to make a difference. Sometimes it can be the smallest of things. Reminding someone how much you love and appreciate them, for example, can help lift someone up who is feeling down. Being the best dad or mom you can be will make a huge difference in a child’s life. Making someone’s day with a smile, holding the door open for them, or complimenting them might make more of a difference then we will ever know.

As the first few quotations in this section state, it doesn’t take much to change the world.
