"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does."
-William James
-William James
There is so much power in this small quote. I will give it my best to show the true power of this quote in this short paragraph.
Everything you do will impact something else. That blanket you donated to Goodwill will likely end up keeping someone in need warm on a cold night. Those sandwiches you brought to the homeless shelter will likely be savored down to the crusts by people who can't afford a home or food. Every single action you do will impact something else. Sometimes, that means it will be impacted in a bad way. Don't gossip or spread rumors, as that will impact both your reputation and, when the word gets all the way around, the person who is being talked about. Be the donator, not the gossip girl. These are just examples. There are an infinite number of things you can do to affect an infinite number of people or things. Choose to do the right things. Make a positive reputation and make a positive difference in the world. Choose your actions wisely, be careful, and make the difference that will change the world.
