Make a difference from "summary" of Lead from the Outside by Stacey Abrams
The concept of "making a difference" is not simply about taking action, it is about taking intentional action with the goal of creating positive change in the world. It is about recognizing the power we have as individuals to impact our communities and society as a whole. Making a difference requires us to step outside of our comfort zones, to challenge the status quo, and to push boundaries in order to bring about meaningful transformation. In order to make a difference, we must first identify the areas in which we feel passionately about creating change. This may involve reflecting on our own experiences, values, and beliefs to pinpoint the issues that resonate with us on a personal level. Once we have identified these areas, we must then take the necessary steps to educate ourselves and develop a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding these issues. Making a difference also requires us to leverage our unique strengths and talents in order to contribute in a meaningful way. Each of us has a distinct set of skills, experiences, and perspectives that we can bring to the table in our efforts to create change. By embracing our individuality and harnessing our strengths, we can make a significant impact in our communities and beyond. Furthermore, making a difference involves collaborating with others who share our vision and values. Change rarely happens in isolation - it requires the collective effort of like-minded individuals working together towards a common goal. By building strong relationships and partnerships with others, we can amplify our impact and bring about lasting change on a larger scale.- Making a difference is not just about the actions we take, but about the lasting impact we leave behind. It is about leaving the world a better place than we found it, and inspiring others to do the same. By recognizing our own agency and power to effect change, we can become catalysts for positive transformation in our communities and in the world at large.
