“If your presence doesn’t make an impact, then your absence won’t make a difference.” - Anon
You could swap the word "impact" with the word "influence" and it still makes for challenging reading. If what we are doing in life, doesn't make a positive influence on the lives of others, then perhaps we need to re-evaluate what we are doing. This goes beyond our work situations - it spans everything aspect of our lives - family, friendships, church, community, country and so on.
I know that many of us may not feel that we naturally make an impact, but let's not underestimate the contribution we make. It may seem small, but it can make a huge difference. Remember this quote:
“If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going
to sleep with a mosquito in the room.” -
Anita Roddick
Let's commit to do what we can to influence our world/town/school/work place.
1 Samuel 15:17 - "Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel."
