Today's Inspiration

by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com

The focus for today's inspiration is:

Everything I do and say makes a difference.

Every little thing we do is like a pebble in a lake -- the waves go out and out and out, and we don't know whom they will touch. Every "little" action we take will have repercussions we cannot envision. We may simply be a drop of water in the ocean of life, but what is the ocean but a conglomeration of many many drops. If each drop had said, I'm so little, I can't make a difference, I won't join in, then the ocean would be dry.

You are not insignificant. Your words, your thoughts, your actions (positive or negative) make a difference. They are a drop that with many other drops add up to the ocean. You are a piece of the puzzle, your words and actions are a stepping stone for someone else. 

Never think that you are insignificant -- that what you do and say don't make a difference. Whatever energy you are adding to the world... love, fear, anger, joy... contributes to the Whole. You are here, and alive. And that in itself has made a difference.

P.S. If you are an American citizen, please help make a difference by voting. Add your "drop" to the Whole.
