MAKING A DIFFERENCE OR LOOKING FOR SPOTLIGHT? - FAIRE UNE DIFFÉRENCE OU VOUS CHERCHEZ LA MISE EN VEDETTE?


The world is full of opportunities to change a lot of things are going the way they should not. Every where you turn, something needs fixing. Almost nothing is as it should be and if you have any desire to see things work as they should, it is only natural that one would want to do something to make things right. Everywhere I work with youths, almost all of them say they
want to make a difference. As I interact with people across board, this seems to
be the "desire" of many. However, this does not seem to be the case
in practice from my observations.
I am beginning to think that a lot of people associate making a difference with having an opportunity to be in the spotlight. Are you ready to make a difference even if no one notices what you are doing? Are you ready to make a difference even if it is just in the life of a few people? I have noticed that immediately people discover that what you are presenting will not give them the main spot, they develop cold feet and I am left wondering whether it is really about making a difference or drawing attention to themselves. I honestly hope all this noise about social entrepreneurship and improving humanity is not just an opportunity for some to gain fame that they could not otherwise get from mainstream business. There are many definitions of success but I tend to lean towards the ones that link success to the satisfaction you get from making a difference in the lives of others even if no one notices. Too much is attached to extraneous measurements of success; how many likes, shares and followers you have on social media or how many items of luxury you own. You do not need the spotlight to be successful, you just need to live a life that helps others to become better people. Enjoy yourself and your day!

SUCCESS : IDEAS AND ACTION - SUCCÈS: IDÉES ET ACTION

Everybody can talk or wish for change but only those who determine to IMMEDIATELY do something about it would eventually enjoy the new life they seek. Many do not make the needed adjustments because change is uncomfortable, they wish but they do not commit. Anyone wishing to make a difference in life should be ready to go through various seasons of change as they journey on in life. Success is not magic, it is a combination of work and choices. Decide today to make the needed choice and take a step in the direction of the impact you want to make. We need more of those who are always willing to match ideas with action. Enjoy your day!
