Have you ever experienced the sensation of being insignificant?
As if you’re merely a small cog in a vast machine, and whatever you do, it won’t matter. This sentiment is common, and it’s easy to feel discouraged when faced with the world’s challenges.
But there’s hope. Every action you take makes a difference, regardless of how small.
Simply existing makes a difference because YOU bring unique experiences, abilities, and perspectives to the world.
By acting as if what you do makes a difference, you’ll begin to see the impact of your actions, and that influence can spread to others.
For instance, if you’re in a bad mood, it can affect those around you. You might become snappy or abrupt, and that negativity can escalate.
Remember Dr. Dyer – The Orange example.
But if you try to be kind or see the good in others, that positively can also spread. Your positive actions can encourage others to be more positive, and that attitude can spread to others.
So, in addition to Mindset, Attitude Matters.
The same goes for any action, regardless of its magnitude. Recycling, for instance, is meaningful as it helps reduce waste and conserve resources.
Volunteering at a local shelter helps animals in need while listening to someone goes through a rough patch shows them they’re not alone.
Sometimes, your actions have little impact on the bigger picture. However, it’s essential to remember that every effort you make has a ripple effect.
And that’s true… Think about it.
By acting as if what you do makes a difference, you’ll start to see that impact, and that realization can be tremendously empowering.
Been there, done this, done that…
You’ll realize that you can make a positive difference in the world, which can motivate you to continue.
