As I listen to you talk about how much you want to make a difference and how much you want to change the world, I can’t fight the urge of that smirk that is beginning to form. 

No offense, honestly. I am listening to you, I confess to you I am not bored. 
I remember sounding just like you. Speaking in words that you believe will fabricate a picture of this world you’ve constituted in your head night and night again as you lay your head down to sleep away and dream. 

No judgment, I am all ears. 
Tell me all your pleasures, tell me all of your fears. Don’t shy away, don’t disappear. Please, tell me. 

Please, tell me everything. 

You must wonder, “Why the smirk?” 
Instinctively jumping to conclusions inferring that I am just a jerk. 

If I must answer such a silly assumption, you’ll only hear me articulate in such an animated way just as you are right now. 
It gets my heart racing, it gets my heart pumping. 

Only thing that you would hear differently is where Its not that I want to make a difference IN this world. I want to make a difference in others lives. 
Ambitious goal you may think but tell me, are you intrigued? 

 As I see a smile begin to form as you collect your thoughts to answer that is to be exactly what I thought it would be. 
Yes, striking that interest in others has now offered me a chance to live up to that name that has a strong meaning. 

You want to change the world? 
You want to make a difference? 
Let me take your world and give it a little twirl with asking you if you know the world within? 

You are your own world, to make the world we all share different you must know the universe enclosed in this temporary vessel wrapped in skin completely. 

Before you can make a difference out there, you must commence that difference in yourself. Channel energy others enjoy having in their circle. 

Change your point of view towards the short time we are here. Face your fears, so you can move forward thinking more clear with both hands on the wheel ready to steer yourself down the path that is envious to your peers. 

Arms held out with open arms to only help them down that path, turning that enviousness into humbleness. 
Spread love, knowledge and good vibes; Nothing less. 

Now that’s making a difference. 

Signed,
ThoseMeaningfulWords.

  • wow. the thing i love about your writing is it makes me think. I can't just read it once. I have to read it, process it, kick it around in my mind, come back and read it again (sometimes multiple times). This piece is no different. Good writing affects me like this. It invades my brain and makes me think. Anyone can string together some words, but this is beyond that.
