Making a difference ... the purpose of life?
They say that we, as individuals, create purpose in our lives by making a difference to others. I do this everyday in my job by giving people good service, helping them in every way and offering optimism to their problems. And every now and again, someone may actually thank me .. but that's life! How do other folk out there 'make a difference' in their daily grind?

Firstly, well done you for making a real difference in peoples lives. As for the thanking the gratitude is probably there even if the words aren't. I like to think I personally make a difference in others lives by speaking my mind about how I feel. The more honest I am about my own feelings helps others feel more inclined to do the same. What I say may not always be nice or correct but it's always honest.

I try to give my co-workers my best...they are the ones suffering with me at the "grind" and they will have a much better day if I do my part with a smile and energetic attitude...I know that when a co-worker is doing a great job, it makes me want to do a great job too!

Every person has their own way...
I dig wells in Ghana currently. And I work with kidsworldwide.org to start up schooling in underdeveloped nations.

Mainly, I help my amazing, brilliant and bipolar partner get her head around who and what she is, so she can keep on doing her good thang.
None of you will likely ever hear of her or be touched by her life, but that's your loss, people. :o)

We all make difference, for good or for ill.
The ideal is to make our effect beneficial, and not self-seeking.

i show servitude to teach humility
i show love to friends for encouragment
i show hate to my enemies to teach them how they are seen
i teach
but i also learn
that is how we all do it
even if it seems small your life has great impact
