Making A Difference...

I think deep down, most of us have a desire to make a difference, inspire others, impact lives in a positive way—I know I do, and I believe I am in the process of doing just that… but how do we get from that thought—that desire, to actually beginning something?
Everything that you manifest and create begins with a thought, a passion-filled idea or desire that stirs that excitement—fills you with energy and gives you butterflies in your stomach! This inevitably then draws you to something that will help you take the next step. It could be a conversation with a friend, who encourages you/and helps generate some ideas opening the door to possibility. It could be a book that someone recommends to you that peaks your curiosity and draws you in. It could be an invitation to an event. When these serendipitous events occur, run with them! Start asking yourself questions that you want answers to! Then take some time to be still—it is during these times that our answers flood in and our greatest ideas and inspiration are generated. If you are stressed and being pulled in 100 directions, you will not hear the answers.
For myself, after making a conscious choice to reflect more, and be “still” more, answers began to show up—many in the form of books. One of my most favourite books, that really expanded my thinking was, “The Celestine Prophecy”. This then led me to a wonderful stream of books, each impacting me in a wonderful way!
In order to make a difference in this world, you have to stretch, grow, and expand yourself. You have to push yourself through things that may feel a little fearful, but guess what? You have been tricked into thinking that those butterflies in your stomach are because of fear, and if you let it, it will stop you in your tracks. What if you re-wired your thinking and recognized that the butterflies are simply there because of excitement, anticipation and expectation that something great is on the way! Move through it because something really wonderful is on the other side…
We have all been blessed with various talents and gifts that can serve the masses. We need only, recognize and build these strengths, and blend it with what we are passionate about—then go out there and share it with the world…
