After today I have spent the past hour wondering how many individuals never truly know their impact. And then I wonder how many people (as humans) would know greater happiness or greater truth about their kindness and their talents if we, as humans, were able to experience our self-worth in a tangible, contagious way. If we treated our impact like laughter-heard, spread around, visible, tangible- I can only imagine that perhaps gratitude for human kind as a whole would look differently and gratitude for ourselves would also look differently if we made it seen. Made it known. Walking into a sea of old students- well there simply isn't anything like it. I guess what I am trying to say is, you don't always visibly see or feel impact but trust that it is there- because it is. No matter how insecure you may feel or tiny or small, you must realize that your impact is being gathered and collected, loved and noticed even if you cannot see it yourself. Let's treat impact more like laughter. Let's remind those around us that their impact is being collected like a bunch of colorful wildflowers and let us remember that sometimes we can't always see that impact until we step away. Even the smallest flame continues to glow. Remember this.
