In order to make a difference on earth, certain costs must be incurred. Bear it deep within your mind that there is no such thing as "getting something without investing anything"! Standing out from the crowd involves expenditure of time, energy and resources. Mother Theresa of Calcutta India made a difference in the world, and she did so because of her activities which were targetted at helping the poor and underprivileged people who lived on the streets of one of the world's largest and poorest cities - Calcutta (India). She often brought her served meals in the aircraft to feed the poor. After receiving a Noble Peace Prize, she set aside all the money she acquired to feed and care for the poor. When the Pope visited India in 1963, the Indian government bought a limousine to conduct the Pope through the visit. At his departure, the Pope gave the limousine to Mother Theresa who rapidly sold it to feed and care for the poor. What a love and what a life to live! No wonder even though she is dead, her impact, relevance, and influence - lives on. Impact is made when you live to give; and not just to gain. Those who invest what others retain, achieve what others cannot. Those who live their lives contributing and distributing rather than accumulating, make the difference on the long run. Investment, not expenditure, is the basis of accomplishments in life. Make a difference through giving! A key to making a difference or living a life of impact on earth is by living beyond your needs and time. The biblical Joseph was busy (in an ancient Egyptian prison) meeting other peoples needs and making them fulfilled. At the end of the day, his own needs were not only met, but became greatly blessed as he was transformed from a prisoner into a man of influence, power and authority in a foreign land (Egypt). Zig ziglar said, "You will always have everything in life when you help people get what they want." In the actual sense, it is more blessed to give than receive. Increase somebodies joy by meeting their practical needs. Do something remarkable for someone today, and always.
