What does it mean or look like in your life to BE the difference? Many of us have an embedded desire to do something great, to make a difference in the world, to know that our life matters. To be apart of something bigger than ourselves, something significant.
For myself I am realizing it starts with simple everyday choices. Intentional choices. Showing up in the small things one day at a time turns into greater things over time. I am watching this take place throughout the last six months as I choose to show up day by day at the gym, doing the prescribed workouts. No one single workout changed everything for me; it was the consistency of taking one small step each and everyday. After six months I can look back and see there have been some significant changes happening here! My body has transformed, my skills and abilities have progressed, and my mindset has been changing to realize I can do things I never thought I could.
Behind every story of doing something significant there is a backstory. It’s usually a story full of hard work and commitment. Small steps leading into something greater. So look around your life and take stock of the areas you are being the difference. Let your eyes be opened to see it, because I know that you are that person. You’re being the difference to your kids, your spouse, your parents, your co-workers, maybe even a stranger. The way you consistently love and make small choices for others is making a difference.
There are so many ways we can be the difference in this world. I pray that you would tune into creative ways to implement this in your life. Ask God to give you an area to be the difference and see how you can make simple daily choices to move in this direction. Let us know below how you have or would like to step out and be the difference in your sphere of influence.
