Difference Makers

I have been thinking a lot about people who live their lives as difference makers. The truth is that many of the people that I would consider to fit in this category might not recognize themselves as such. These people inspire me.

They give of their time without coming across like it is a burden.
They sacrifice to help see the dream of someone else come to pass.
They show up.
They enjoy what they are doing - because they understand the difference it makes.
They help to lift the load.
They are people who take something that is impossible, and work and find ways to make it happen.

I had so many people show up in my life to be difference makers over the past few weeks as we were getting ready for our grand opening of our student center. These people (adults, students, interns, volunteers…) took dreams and ideas that would have been impossible and made them possible. They gave their time, energy and effort, all because they believed that what they were doing and what they could do would make a difference. They are people who live life as difference makers!

I want to live life like that.
