How does one decide what to do to be remembered by, to make a difference? I guess first you need to decide on scale. One can make a difference by being a scout leader, by seeing a nice older man at the convenience store same day every day you are there and deciding one day to buy his paper for him, or by helping one person one time when you can. That is making a difference on a smaller scale.
What if you want to make a difference on a large scale. How do you decide? Save neglected animals so volunteer at the local SPCA, plant trees to help reforestation, drive a more energy efficient vehicle or ride your bike? Or go big or go home by making a difference by becoming a politician and changing the system from the inside, join Greenpeace, live completely off the grid, volunteer to help the under privileged.
Maybe one is passionate about a few of the above but are limited either by time or funds or both but still want to make a difference. How does one decide? This is the process I am going through. For myself, for my boys, my community, my world.
The process of my deciding what I must do to make a mark, make a change, made a difference will be documented through this blog and I am thankful that you wish to observe.
