What kind of impression do you wish to leave on others today? Your impression on others is born out of your nature, your essence, your countenance, and your actions. Some people seem forgettable, and others are impressive, not with what they do, but with who they are. Memorable people are those that draw in others by their goodness, by their supportive energy, and by their ability to make you laugh or put you at ease. Impressive people are those that rise above the noise and heaviness that is all around them. Impressive people make you feel good, when you are with them. Everyone leaves an impression on the world, a thumbprint that gets embedded into the souls of those with whom you interact. Be mindful of that truth today.
You can only be perceived as a person of effective and lasting impression if you have a genuine desire to bring joy to the people who you encounter today. You cannot pretend to be energetic and jovial – people know a fake! You will experience no greater joy than in knowing that someone is better off today because they encountered you – even if only briefly. You didn’t add to their misery, you offered them a boost of energy, and you made an impression! Don’t let yourself become saturated with what weighs you down – you can’t be a source of lightness if you wallow in pity. However, you can make an impression on the world, but you have to make that a conscious choice, everyday. The real work of today is in making those around you feel better. The world is in desperate need for people that feel good, who enjoy life, and who have hope! Why not be one of those people? Take the initiative to impress upon the world something good today! It doesn’t have to be large, it just has to be better than the emptiness that is pervasive in our world. You have a chance to make a difference today.
