MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT!

 It is said that the man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for
the best in others and gave the best he had....

However, the majority of us lead quiet and unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. People who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.

You may have touch people and know it. You may have touch people and never know it. Either way, no matter what your life feels like to you right now, you have something to give. It is in the giving to one another that each one of our lives becomes meaningful.

Everyone has a reason for being here and a season for making their highest, greatest most auspicious contribution. Too often we underestimate the power of a simple touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the numerous opportunities there are to make our impact felt.

Martin Luther King, Jr. affirmed this by saying; “Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle or Einstein's Theory of Relativity....to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love”

 But most often, the effects of your kindness are not always seen immediately, sometimes it takes years until your kindness will pay off, and is returned to you. And sometimes you never see the fruits of your labors, BUT KNOW THAT THEY ARE THERE, DEEP INSIDE OF THE SOUL OF THE ONE YOU TOUCHED....
