What’s the difference between participating in change and CREATING a difference? Well, one is like reading a script, and the other is writing it. In one case, a mold predates actions, and in the other, our actions mold creations.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the luxury of seeing what our family and friends, our community, our world as whole, what it all would have looked like had we never rubbed off on it, had we never been a part of its story, had we never been born. And we don’t have control groups to see what would have happened had we made different choices, had we taken that opportunity before it passed, had we looked closer into the details before we jumped to conclusions. But in order to really know the difference we’re making through the act of living our lives, these are really the biggest question we have to consider: what would have happened otherwise, and where does our marginal contribution create the largest marginal difference?
