Selfess, self-awareness, too.
“Difference makers are intentional.
They are calculated.
They make a difference on purpose.
You can’t just show up and assume a positive difference is being made by default.
You must be selflessly self-aware that making a difference requires real effort.
All the time.”
-Ray Zingler
Everybody and their brother wants to make a difference, right?
Or at least they say they do.
But when it comes time to doing what making a real difference calls for, many fall off the wagon.
They aren’t there for the hard hat and a hammer work that is required in order to make a difference.
And this is a sad reality because the world, now more than ever, is in dire need of difference makers.
It’s in dire need of those willing to run straight through the heart of the political puppetry that takes place on every corner of our society and do the muddy, dirty, grunt work required to make a difference.
Making a difference will always ask people to step up and step out.
Making a difference will ask you to expose yourself to criticism, judgement, and misinterpretations. And it will do so regularly.
Sadly, it will cause many who turn a blind eye to the conveyor belt narrative being forced down our throats to even dislike you, too. It’s because those who are paralyzed by matrix don’t have the capacity to think critically for themselves. They can’t stand the difference makers. They can’t stand seeing intentional, impactful people making a real difference. It’s threatening to their insecurity.
But this is exactly why I have found anchoring in to be so important.
If we consistently fold to the conventional narrative, we lose the opportunity to make a difference.
We are quite literally undifferentiated which voids the opportunity to make a difference.
Without tangibly stepping up, you’re essentially doing the same thing as everybody else, and if you do the same thing as everybody else, where can the difference be made?
No where.
For this reason you have to be intentional. You have to be calculated. You have to live and act in life on purpose.
Making a difference requires not only courage to face and challenge the status quo head on, but selfless self-awareness to know what you’re doing and where you’re headed.
Establish your mission.
Define your purpose.
Go all in.
I mean all in.
It’s the only way.
If you don’t, your desire to make a difference will never come to fruition.
It will live and die as a desire.
Live the code.
