Writing Prompt #8

All of these pictures mean a lot to me in some way, shape, or form, but the one that I really like is the one that says “BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.” I love impacting people through little things whether it is a smile going down the hallway, making someone laugh, or helping someone out. They are all little things that make a huge difference in someone’s day. It is easy to get discouraged if you are not a part of something “huge” in someone else’s life, like helping someone with cancer, starting a fundraiser for someone who is less fortunate, or doing a large project for your community, but you don’t need to do all of those things to make a huge difference; whatever YOU are doing for the people in YOUR life is all that is needed from you. “Be the change you want to see in the world”, whether by going out into it, or impacting where you are right now: your family, friends, and the strangers you pass on the sidewalk. The first step you take into someone else’s life is the first step they take in another person’s. You may not be the full wave of change in the world, but you can choose to start a ripple-effect.
