It’s a day where
individuals, corporations, community organizations and others participate in
projects and events across the country; events that make an impact for the
good. Whether it’s a community clean-up, building and repairing housing
facilities, donating goods and services to the less fortunate, staging
marathons or other fundraisers for a worthy cause or just buying lunch or a
cup of coffee for someone just trying to get through another day, we can all find
a way to make a difference. Make a Difference Day draws attention to that and
puts it “up close and personal” on our radar. And that’s a great thing.
I would challenge that
for each of us Make a Difference Day should be every day. A kind word, a
helping hand, a note of encouragement, a moment to listen, a nod of
understanding or even just a smile can make all the difference in the world for
someone in need. That means it’s not all about “us”, it’s about “them”. It
means we need to look outside ourselves, past our own circumstances, our own world and reach out. Pay it forward and make it happen.
There's a quote that says, "Never doubt that one
person can make a difference.” Be that person.
