Making a Difference Without Mastering It

Do you feel like you need to have it all figured out before impacting others in ways that matter? Are you waiting to become a master before making a difference?

Let me tell you, spreading your light and sharing your gifts does not depend on you learning enough, being better or having anything more than you do right now. In fact, just the opposite might be true. Have you ever had a conversation with someone that lit you up and sparked more enthusiasm? My bet is that conversation held more questions than answers. Curiosity connects people. Students of life connect on the quest to learn, grow, and discover. Having an impact on others, creating your legacy and making a difference is your birthright. It is happening, here and now. Every time you decide to show up, smile, connect to your self and grow beyond your current edge, you are fulfilling your mission. The fantasy many people have is that they need to earn that degree, get that job, confirm validation from someone outside themselves, meet some external measure, to be a legitimate leader.

Some of the people who have impacted me the most have done it without even knowing. They were in their element, present, giving without force. Simple connections create such massive impact, and this is how we all make a difference in one another’s lives. Purpose does not live in concepts, ideas, licenses or numbers. Action, connection, listening, sharing; these are how we all live out our purpose, make a difference, and create a glorious domino effect in the world around us.

I am not a master of anything that I can pinpoint. Yes, I have a lot of experience in specific areas and information gathered, degrees earned, time accrued. This has value, yet does not equal living on purpose. Every time I accept that I am right on time and able to add value to life, just as I am, I begin to do so. Making a difference means sharing your life with others, living awake, adding value and living our values.

Is there something you have been waiting to do, achieve or master before connecting with others more fully? Have you attached your ability to serve on the information you hold now? What might become available to you if you stepped into service now, in simple ways, before you felt capable or competent?

Ask more questions. Be a student. Share your curiosity with others and ask about theirs. You might be amazed at how life unfolds for you and what lights up in you when you do.

Don’t wait to make a difference. Be yourself. Now. And let others in on your journey. This is the way legacy is created. You are such a gift to this world, just as you are right now.
