Everything you do

Have you ever played the "what if" game? You wonder how your life would be different if you could only go back and change one thing, if you could go back in time and change that one decision. We tend to think that if we changed that one moment that everything else would be exactly as it is and all that would change is the result of that one decision.

The truth is, though, that changing that one thing would have set off a whole different set of circumstances and happenings that may have led to something entirely different from what your life is today. The same holds true for the part(s) we have played in others' lives.

Today's word is a paraphrase of a quote I heard that I think may be attributed to Jane Goodall. So, I am just going to say it the way I say it..."Everything you do makes a difference. It is up to you to decide what kind of difference you will make."

Everything I do makes a difference. From the time I get up in the morning until I lay my head down at night, everything that I have done during the day has made a difference for more folks than I could ever imagine. My attitude will, obviously, affect folks. But, so too, will the way I take care of myself. If I don't try to take care of myself, I may leave an extra burden on my wife and kids. The way I react to obstacles may lead my family to make the right decisions when they are faced with similar.

Everything you do will make a difference. It is up to you to decide what kind of difference you will make.


Be Blessed,
Mickey T
