MADE A DIFFERENCE TO THAT ONE

MADE A DIFFERENCE TO THAT ONE

Our character is not made by hard times, it's revealed.

What comes out of us when we're squeezed is what's inside. If you're kind and caring inside, when you're stressed, you'll still be kind and caring. But if you're mean and nasty, that's what will come out in times of stress.

You will either be an example to those around you or a warning.

And while none of us can do everything, many of us can do a little and have a greater impact together than any of us can alone.

Throwing starfish from the beach back into the water is a daunting task if your mission is to save them all.

But doing what you can, with what you have, wherever you are, is enough.

Choosing to be part of a divide keeps everything divided.

Today is election day. And there is the possibility that roughly 50% of the United States population will be angry with the results.

Even if your candidate doesn't win, you have the ability to be part of the healing of a broken America.

Will you throw the starfish back in the ocean or walk on by complaining about how the thousands of starfish washed up on your beach have gotten in the way of your sunbathing?

Make a {positive} difference from today forward.

ON PURPOSE.
