Hey Folks,
You are amazing!
Just by coming to this page you have shown an eagerness to make a difference!
We need to measure the impact that we have on the world around us, because so often we forget the massive impact that we have — even when we do absolutely nothing!
You WILL make a difference — EVEN IF YOU DON’T WANT TO!
The choice is, “What kind of a difference will I make?”
Each day we look at our checkbook balance to see how we are doing financially.
In the same way we need to take stock of what an amazing difference we can make with SIMPLE actions. After all, it’s the LITTLE things that make a huge difference.
When we polled the people who came to the Impact Boot Camp and asked them to name the people who had the most impact in their lives and what they did the results were unexpected.
It turns out that the things that made the biggest impact were thing like a kind word at a crucial moment.
Today, you can be that kind word.
And we need to let people KNOW the results that we are having!
Let use know EXACTLY what kind of results you are having. Did you GIVE today?
G – Greet and meet: talk to others, smile, say hello, ask someone how
they are doing
I – Involve yourself and others: find a cause you can support,
volunteer, pledge
resources. Get the people around you involved, especially if you see
someone beginning to withdraw. Invite them to participate in some
activity, to “get out” of their comfort zone
V – Validate others: tell others that they matter – especially family
members and friends that you tend to see daily but may take for
granted, give genuine complements
E – Empathize: be a listening ear, take time to be fully present,
don’t try to solve – just acknowledge someone’s feeling/hurt
Let us know how many people you were able to touch today. How many people read your blog entries, listened to you speak, saw you on radio or television. Tell us how many people were touched by your message of hope. Tell us how you supported organizations with your time and money as a result of seeing the amazing adventure that we are on to help support people who are struggling with this disaster.
So what can you do today to save lives?
