Having An Impact...

“How can I be a difference in this world?”
Isn’t that an interesting thought? During one if his messages, my pastor once made the point that we all have an impact on the people around us. Sometimes that impact can be good or bad. Yes, how we act can affect those around us.

As I sat in church, I began to think of several things in my life I need to make sure I change and help improve my impact on others around me. I wrote them down, knowing that I might not remember them at any given time. Some of the things on this list are ‘no-brainers’, and something I try to do anyway from day to day. However, it makes a great reminder and I figure that it could be an outline for how I live.

• Show A Positive Attitude
• Be An Encouragement To Others
• Be Helpful To Others
• Show Example by Making Right Decisions
• Communicate Honestly
• Be Faithful in Commitments
• Compassionate to Others

Now I’m sure that I could always add more, but I figured that this would be a great start. Even though some sound similar to each other, each one has a specific meaning and part. So, to give me a guideline, I’m going to address each of them in my next blog posts! Stay tuned over the next few days!
