“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” ~Jane Goodall
This quote from Jane Goodall inspires me on many levels…. and opens up further musings.
- Isn’t it more than the actions we take that has an impact? Its how we show up. Our attitude and our being.
- Isn’t it more than being aware of how we impact others? Its how we are impacting our selves as well.
We impact our inner and outer world all the time… and with this awareness, we get to choose how we want to be.
Whether it is expressing gratitude, sharing concern, giving feedback, making a critical comment … we impact others and ourselves with the words we use.
Whether its a soothing touch, stepping up or taking a back seat, frowning, rushing ahead… we impact others and ourselves with our actions.
Whether its about being loving, curious, looking for the good in others or being fearful of things outside our control … we impact others and ourselves with our attitude.
What if we could bring this inner and outer awareness into each moment. Noticing and taking care. Being present and kind.
Who knows the true impact we will have in the world.
Aahhh … now that’s better!
