There are 4 different kinds of people. 

There’s the loathers. These people loath everything. The weather is always slightly off. The news is always the forefront of their mind and they’re upset about headline, after headline, after headline, and can’t wait to tell anyone and everyone about it physically and digitally. They seem to find the worst in every situation and harp on the incredible reasons why something is just so, so wrong. Their brows are always furrowed, they have an open mouth and closed ears, and they harp on the worst of things.

And then there’s the tolerators. And you guessed it, these people tolerate just about everything. They tolerate the weather, they tolerate their job, they tolerate the news, they tolerate their circumstances and they thrive under a shell of comfort. They generally have thick skin, they don’t ask or complain much, they just keep trekking along.

Then there's the takers. Ya’ll know these people. These are the ones that call you up to only talk about themselves while you’re in the middle of of starting your day, you have a meeting in 2 minutes, and they hang up the phone without asking, “how you’re doing?” These people are constantly searching for things that fill them. They are not interested in the needs of others, they are only interested in their needs.

And then there’s the impacters. These are the people who walk into a room and everyone has to stop and stare. They show up ready to rock and roll day in and day out. They find beauty in every type of weather. They find inspiration in a bird’s chirp and not a news headline. They’re fascinated by solutions and not problems. They find motivation through authors, thought leaders, podcasters, and they even show up as one. Their mouths are mostly shut and their ears are wide open. Their eyes are looking up instead of down. They’re constantly in motion and always sharpening their skills. And most importantly, these are the people who are uncomfortable being comfortable and they want to leave a lasting impression on this world, and ultimately, leave it better than when they enter it. These are the people we know by one name. Jesus. Oprah. Disney. Beyoncé. Jay-z. You know them, and they’ve created a legacy and a movement that lives on bigger than them.

The impacters are the type of people who love what they do, who they do it with, and relish in the art of how they do it. And this group of people are known to be the ones who make the greatest positive impact on our world today.

And what is so fascinating to me, is that each of these groups is full of different classes, races, backgrounds, flavors,  likes, dislikes, and full of different strokes for different folks. But the thread of how they look at life is exactly the same.

History shows us that the people who make the greatest impact on our world are not the ones who were privileged, advantaged, or “special” by any means. A lot of impacters come from broken homes, uncomfortable finances, lack of mentors, crushing circumstances, and limited capabilities, but they have all found ways to get back up and lunge into what they were born to do. And ultimately, they transform their lives and the lives of everyone around them.

After my research and have studying these influential impacters I have found 5 core elements to be true amongst all of them. If you want to make an impact and leave this Earth greater than how you found it, this episode is for you. Let's roll.
