treat everyone you meet with kindness and respect. do your best to help those in need. in short - do your best to be the best person you can. it doesn't take any grand gesture to have a positive impact

Bring goodness everywhere you can in life, I guess. Thing is, people have some very different ideas about what that is, so they often wind up working against each other, even with the best of intentions.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Do your best. Sometimes we are late bloomers, but it is never too late. Scrooge did okay at the end.

Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works.

I use this quote not for religious reasons but because every single person on earth has varying circumstances they find themselves in and yet no matter where you are or what your circumstances every minute of everyday each person can choose to

respond rightly (in a situation that calls for right action or response)...

bring joy to every person they interact with...

Brighten the world by being you.

Not a single person is excluded from this process.

A positive impact? any Impact is inevitable unless you passed through life without being seen or heard, or making contact with the ground or any other object.

How positive or negative any impact made is, can only be ascertained by that influenced by such impact.

A personal positive impact can be achieved, where you have improved or enhanced any person's mental, physical or socio-economic well being.

A spiritual positive impact is undertaken where you have clarified, informed, corrected or modified any persons concept of their existance.

Any action which has not harmed, detrimentally changed, financially disadvantaged or otherwise altered the mental, physical, socio-econonomic or environmental status of any living or inanimate entity, can be said to be positive.
