RE: Death Cx2- Impact

[My deepest condolences to DBC, and the family of the deceased]

I don't think there's anyone out there who can say they've been lucky enough to lose someone close to them or someone significant in their lives, so you can all relate to DBC's feelings.



Something I find myself pondering [morbidly, but it's still something that runs through my mind occasionally.] What sort of impact do you think you've had on people's lives? If you were gone tomorrow, what do you think people would say about you? What would they miss about you?

What is the meaning of life? To make the biggest impact you can on those around you, and change the world for the better.. even through very simple means.

Small actions make big impacts. Do good at every chance you have.

This reminds me of a quote from the final episode of Boy Meets World. [Side note: Did Feeny ever write a book? Think about it. Epically philosophical - I'd buy it]

George Feeny: Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do good
Topanga: Don't you mean do well?
George Feeny: No, I mean do good.

We sometimes forget that our actions create ripple effects on those around us, even the people we might only interact with once, or for very short periods of time.

It warms my heart when I find myself faced with the chance to do something to make someone's day better or easier.

In my work, it might be a special color choice that matches the bedding in a little girl's room and she's going to be so surprised, or helping someone carry the extra gallon they can't carry in two hands out to their car.

The other day at the grocery store, the lady checking me out had some trouble bagging the groceries herself (she's short like me) and I helped her by moving the items closer for her. She smiled very warmly and said, "thank you."

And I felt good..




Do something good today.
