Impact the World for Good

The story of your life can impact the world. It is up to you and you heart to decide how much of your story you want to share. Sometimes we do not slow down enough to see what is being learned from the words of our mouth and our daily actions we take. Be someone who walks out and builds into people every day. There is so much negativity in the world, that it can be rare to hear the positive. Embrace doing good and you can impact the world.

Sometimes change happens in our lives all of a sudden, and what we do with it can sometimes make or break us. Sometimes you do not realize your children are listening to you as parents, but they are. I remember putting my ear up against my parent’s bedroom door and listening to their conversations. I learned a lot about what adult life is like by listening to them at a young age.

No matter the season in your marriage, or the stage you are going through in your child’s life at home, you can impact the world for good. Many times we need to slow down and embrace the season that we are in now. If we rush things, and check off our daily to do list, we may miss an opportunity to impact the world for good. So many of us wonder, what on earth am I here for. You wonder what is your life purpose. Some of you, may be asking, what is God’s will for me?

Ways to Impact the World for Good:

Embrace changes, and who you are as you get older. Get to know yourself and your strengths and weaknesses. What are you good at doing that maybe you could do in your local community, school, church, or family. Constantly strive to grow and you will be ahead of many people, allowing you to impact the world for good.

Every day, we watch and listen to stories. Whether it be on the radio, tv, social media, or word of mouth, stories are here to educate, entertain, inspire, or impact the world for good. For stories to develop, we must act or something must happen. What do you stay up all night thinking about? What motivates you to get out of bed every day? These type of questions will get your mind started to thinking about what you can do (using your strengths and passions) to impact the world for good.

What is your life vision statement? What changes do you want to see in the world? Vision demands change and implies movement, so join a group, apply for a job, go out on a date with someone special, and pursue your dream to create a new invention, etc. You never know how some of these may impact the world for good in the future.

As I watch the devastating news of Hurricane Matthew this past week, my heart aches for the people who went through this horrible storm. I look around my home for items to send to them. Impact the world for good by connecting with your local community and churches who are sending supplies, food, clothes, etc to the families during this difficult time in their lives. This is an immediate way to impact the world for good.

Make a Time Capsule

For a lasting legacy, make a Family Time Capsule using the “Any Occasion” DIY Time Capsule. Preserve your lessons you have learned about life. Write them down on the “Message to the Future” stationary kit included with this time capsule. What wisdom, advice, and funny stories can you pass on to your children and great grandchildren to include in the Baby Time Capsule? It is a priceless way to make an impact on the future world. You never know how your stories, keepsakes you pass on, or inspiration you leave, can motivate a future student to find the cure for cancer, or invent the next greatest invention for so many in this world.

Imagine opening this Legacy Time Capsule in the future, by your grandchild, 20 or 30 years from now. Will you still be alive? How will the letters inside (handwritten) impact their heart and mind as they are read?

What would you put in your time capsule, making a positive impact on the world? Comment below.
