Make A Difference In Someone’s Life

The old saying “time marches on,” should be replaced by “where did the time go?” Don’t you agree? I am amazed that we are just about to get back in to school. Our summer celebrations are over, and we are looking forward to fall. Unreal.We really live in an interesting time in our history. There are many people out there very willing to express their opinions and seek to influence you to their way of thinking whether good or bad. It’s up to us to determine how we react to those influences. No matter how educated, rich, talented, or cool you believe you are, it’s how you treat people that ultimately tells us who you really are. Integrity is everything.“Everyone of us wants happiness, and nobody seeks out pain; but you can’t have your rainbow without a little rain.” - UnknownA great thought I think to remind ourselves is that our true strengths come from the trials we overcome in our lives.  There are absolutely no limits to what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on yourself and your own thinking.  May I suggest we never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.May I remind each of us to find those ways to make a difference in someone’s life.  You need it and they want it......
