“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
We all dream of making a big impact, maybe even changing the world.
But lately, I’ve been reflecting on something important: Sometimes, the most profound impact happens when we focus on making small, seemingly insignificant, yet wildly important ripples in someone’s daily story.
Take a moment to think about those in your life who’ve made a difference for you.
For me, people like Phil, the local restaurant manager down the street from our condo, who brings people together with a warm smile, an encouraging wave, and a friendly demeanor. Or the front desk team member at the gym on Saturdays, whose energy fills the room and makes every workout a joy. And the coffee shop barista who greets me with a smile and automatically knows to bring me an unsweetened, iced almond milk latte downstairs while I set up to work for the day. Or even my husband, Joal whose daily intention is to serve, to help others – no matter where we go he is open and alert to where he can offer a hand, a word of encouragement, or even simply an ear to listen.
These people aren’t changing the world on a grand scale, but they’re changing the world for those they touch. They’re proof that you don’t need to impact millions to make a difference.
So, how can you have a big impact on someone’s story today?
1. Find Your Place: Whether it’s a local café, gym, or community group, find a space where you can show up regularly and make it your second home.
2. Engage Deeply: Don’t just show up—get involved. Volunteer, connect, and contribute in ways that make a difference to those around you.
3. Take your Time: Set the intention to not rush each day, look up, listen, and take your time.
4. Recognize Your Ripple Effect: Remember, your impact on one person can ripple out to others. The world may be big, but small, meaningful actions can create waves of change.
