“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”

William James

Often we don’t think that what we do will make a difference. So maybe we don’t give it our best shot, or worse, perhaps we don’t try at all.

Why not believe it does make a difference?

This simple mindset shift can lead to a real impact. By acting as if we can make a difference, we try a little harder, study more, plan more, help more, and pay more attention to our relationships. In essence, we care more.

The extra attention and effort ensure that we do make a difference.

No matter how great or small, a difference is a difference. And that is better than nothing.
