IMPACT.
IMPACT WHEN YOU CAN...
Many times we find ourselves in
different places at different times and for different purposes.
Sometimes
it could be for education, for visits, for tourism, for business, or just for travelling
but then we realized we are never at a place for a long time. What are left as
proofs of our existence at that place at that particular time are just our
memories and maybe pictures taken and friends made. But what makes out memories
long-lasting and worthwhile to us and people we met are the impacts we made
while we were at that place.
WHAT IS IMPACT?
Impact is having a strong effect on someone or
something (causing a change). Impact can be made through our way of life, the
things we do, the help we render, the words we speak. Our beliefs, how we carry
ourselves, or something as little as our smile.
One
might then ask, WHY DO I NEED TO MAKE AN IMPACT?
Well I will say for some its important
they make impact, for some it’s optional while for some it’s not needed; but at
the end of the day it’s our deeds that would speak for us when we leave earth.
We may not see a reason why we should
make an impact but then again we have a lot of wealth of knowledge deposited
inside us that is just waiting to spring forth and it is my believe that we
should leave the world a better place than we met it. If we make the right
impact and change someone or a couple of people, it will go down in the history
of their lives as well as ours what we did and this could open more doors for
us to impact more people and also the people we impact also have the tendency
of going and impacting more people hence spreading your legacy of change]
Also
impacting people means we are pouring out our resource to change lives thereby
leaving this world empty handed… i.e. when you impact a life you are giving a
part of yourself to the person and the more lives you touch, the more of
yourself you keep giving till you have given all you have withholding nothing
which is also one of the essence of living as seen in the life of Jesus Christ
and the sacrifice he made on our behalf (giving his life). Even in our present
world we have musicians,poets,politicians,activist and many more whose way of
life and things they did changed or influenced the world and how we see things permanently
and most of all positively. The likes of Nelson Mandela, Michael Jackson, Whitney
Houston, Chinua Achebe,Wole Shoyinka to mention a few have touched lives in
their various ways and when you call their names there is always a recognition
and a resounding praise that follows(that is impact).
So let us
always have it in mind to shine so great our light cannot be dimmed wherever we
found ourselves and to always carry people along changing them and making them
better people
