We hear a lot of people talking about how they want to make a difference in the world.
Here at The Difference™ Radio Network, we are involved in an amazing project that is exploring exactly what "The Difference" really is - how does one make a difference to ourselves, to those around us, and beyond?
How does one person make a difference to everyone on the planet? Is that even possible?
Wanting to make a difference does not make us special or unique. Everyone is born with the desire to make a difference. We can see evidence of this in children, even in infants. If we look hard enough, we can see it in every person on earth, even when that desire becomes misguided.
What brings people to projects like The Difference™ - what perhaps brings you to this radio show - is your commitment to that desire. Maybe it has become a calling. Maybe it is simply the only way you know, or the only way you want to know. Maybe you just know it's time to act on that desire.
And yet, the first step is to discover where you are already making a difference.
You might be surprised to learn some of the ways you are impacting the world around you; the subtle ways that may have gone unnoticed by you, maybe even by others, but which have cast pebbles into the water, the ripples of which cannot be stilled.
Tune in this week as Claire Hennekam flies solo (but never alone), exploring what it really means to make a difference and how, while you might be busy trying desperately to have an impact, you may well miss the very things you say and do that are already changing the world.
Then comes the much greater revelation - that your very existance makes such a profound difference to this planet that nothing you ever do, no matter how big or small, will ever match the immense power of your presence, but can only amplify and direct it..
