In this episode of 4031Coaching, we discuss the difference you can make in your circle of influence.

If you use any form of social media, you are inundated with ways to make a difference; from emotional videos highlighting world-wide causes, to the fundraising needs of nationally known organizations, you likely have access to unlimited ways to make a difference for people you may never know. Yet, you do not need to have social media to have a direct impact on your own circle of family, friends, acquaintances, church, etc.

Your circle of influence consists of the people you see and engage with regularly. These are the people you genuinely care about and want to see do well. There is a reciprocity that comes from supporting one another and being there through thick and thin. You are never left wondering if you are truly impacting them or not because the answer is self-evident. 

Give today's podcast a listen and let us know how we can help you along the way.  Be blessed.

Does a smile have the ability to make a change in others?

Can a smile have an impact?

In 1993, the world needed something. It would be 1993 that two men,  Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, released the “Chicken Soup for The Soul.”  Chicken Soup for the Soul filled a gap in the world. The world that was hurting and needed to connect with stories that created hope for those who felt hopeless and nurtured people who were feeling lost and abandoned.

Chicken Soup for the Soul was a compilation of true stories and other stories that inspired readers by showing how others made a difference when it mattered most.

One story was titled "A Simple Gesture," penned by John W. Schlatter.

In John Schlatter’s story, he describes Bill and Mark. Bill was a nerdy guy who was often bullied. One day Mark encountered Bill when he, Bill, was planning to kill himself. Mark smiled at Bill. It would be that simple gesture that helped Bill feel the compassion and sense of belonging he needed tostop his plan and begin living a positive life.

All because of a simple smile.

Change is a word that many people fear. However, change is necessary to growth and opportunity.

Beginning to create change and make a difference starts with one person and their behavior… You!

The knowledge that one person's behavior is able to create change and make a difference in other's lives may feel both overwhelming and empowering. However, while it might seem overwhelming and empowering, you must remember this is part of the process of growth and opportunity.

Join our podcast as we discuss, "Change Starts with You."

Have you ever thrown a pebble into a pond and watched the ripples?

One small drop in the water's pristine surface causes waves that get larger and reach farther as they move across the water.

This ripple effect is like your impact.

You may not think you make a difference or affect people, but what you do ripples out from your actions. Your actions will touch the lives of a few people, who have their impact on the lives of others, and the process will continue.

In each area of our lives, we have opportunities to make an impact of others. Our impact will be like those ripples which continue for a long time. Many times, it might be the "little things" that have the biggest ripples effect in the lives of others.

It is important to remember that the ripples can continue beyond our first actions. Each ripple may continue to go on without ever knowing the results of one simple act.

Let's talk about the ripple effect.

How many people to you affect a day?

Do you know?

Remember from our previous encouragements that you affect the lives of others each day. It might be a small impact, but it makes a difference.

This morning I stopped by Panera Bread to get a cup of coffee, and when I pulled to the window, the server handed my coffee to me with a smile and said, "Have a blessed day." The voice tone fit the words, and the smile was genuine; that slight gesture made an impact.

If you do not think that gesture made an impact, remember, you are reading about it. It made an impact.

Join us today as we talk abtou the impact you have on other.

Can One Person Make A Difference?

The Short Answer - Yes!

One person can make a world of difference because the power of one is undeniable. When you look at history, you will see a long list of people who made a difference. These people may have launched a movement, challenge people to live better or made a small choice which caused others to do the same.

Today, social media has given everyone the ability to have a platform and reach countless others. It has never been easier for someone to create a platform for their unique voice, to start a movement, and to rally others behind your cause.

Let me tell you a small secret which will determine every aspect of whether or not you are growing in personal development. It is a small secret, but probably the greatest secret. There are few who practice it. Here it is -> You must DESIRE TO GROW IT!

Did it shock you? I hope not! Practicing personal development is a very simple aspect of life, but few practice it because they to do not desire it.  There are four things I try to accomplish every day and I would like to share those with you to assist you in your personal development. These four small things have made a significant difference in my personal growth, the opportunities that present themselves and the way I can assist others.

My Daily Four:

(1)  Read – Everyday spend time reading. Read books of encouragement, leadership, personal growth and biographies of people who have grown, succeeded and assisted others. Reading broadens our minds and causes us to generate ideas for greater service.

(2)  Encourage – Actively seek someone to encourage. Whether the person is a small child, a co-worker, neighbor or spouse, give them uplifting words today. If you have trouble speaking to others, get a box of uplifting, encouraging cards and mail one a day to someone in your life. For a greater feeling, leave the card unsigned. Make them wonder who is encouraging them. Leave it unsigned, because bringing glory to ourselves is not really glory, but pride.

(3)  Write – Spend time putting your thoughts and dreams on paper. If you do not journal, give it a shot to see what you can begin developing in your mind and on paper. Some of the greatest ideas and moments have been lost, because someone forgot to write them down. If you are a parent, write down your children’s greatest moments that you always want to have with you. It will make a difference.

(4)  Grow – Decide to do one thing each day to achieve the dream and goals you set. No matter how small or how large you think it might be, do it! Give you best to receive the best!
