To make a difference, you often must be different. It takes
Courage and confidence to go against the grain of negativity
That
surrounds you, and such courage can bring great
Rewards.
Where others see only doom and gloom, look for the
bright
Glimmer of opportunity. For it is most certainly there.
When everyone is looking for someone to blame
for what has
Already happened, turn your focus toward the future.
Exploring the current possibilities will create infinitely
More
value than arguing over past failures.
When you encounter rudeness and irritation, generously offer
Your own
polite and confident patience. When you bump up
Against the arrogance of another person, melt it away with
Your own
sincere, self-assured humility.
Just because everyone is heading in a negative direction
Doesn't mean you
must go that way too. On the contrary, it's
A valuable opportunity for you to set a positive example.
In times
of great difficulty and stress, choose to be a
Beacon of encouragement, understanding and positive purpose.
Be different, and you can truly make a valuable positive
Difference.
~~Ralph Marston
