It is funny how the smallest things can sometimes make the biggest impact. I love life's "little things". In the last month, I have crossed paths with so many amazing people who have shared some inspiring stories and mantras. Here is a more recent one that really resonated with me...
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean.
The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?
You can’t make a difference!”
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…” I made a difference for that one.”
Don't underestimate your power or undermine what influence you have over every moment here after. You make a difference...choose to do so.
This is awesome and something i strive to live by!
