Why Wouldn't You Make a Positive Difference?

Every time you interact with someone is an opportunity to make a positive difference. You have so many opportunities today. Really seeing them, checking in with them, smiling at them, hearing them. With some of the disconnection we experience today, even simply not being avoidant, rude, distant, or self-focused is a gift to someone else.

We underestimate these moments. We think making a difference requires grand gestures, big platforms, and significant resources. Yet the person in front of you right now is your opportunity. The cashier, the colleague, the family member you've stopped really looking at. Each interaction is a choice to contribute or be a drain. Why not choose to contribute?

Of course, making a difference isn't just for others. When we choose to see others, we feel better. When we choose presence over self-absorption, we feel more alive. This is how contribution works. It elevates everything.

With each moment you have to make a difference for others today, why wouldn't you?
