The Difference Maker

By Scott V. Black

In our leadership Awakening and Leadership Adventure classes we focus on the qualities of The “Best Possible You.” Unless we consider what we would look, sound, act, and think like living to our full potential then we have no possibility of ever achieving that state. If you don’t know where you are going, then any road will take you there! So in order to create the patterns, behaviors, mindset… qualities of “You” living to “Your” potential, then we need to become consciously aware of what those qualities are.

In our Leadership Awakening experience we tell the story of writer George Bernard Shaw. Mr. Shaw was once asked by a reporter, “If you could go back in time and relive your life as anybody you wanted, who would you be?.” He thought about it for a moment and he looked the reporter in the eye and he said, “If I could be anybody I wanted to be… I would be the George Bernhard Shaw, that I could have been.”

What he was talking about was living his life without his fears, doubts, limiting belief systems, missed opportunities… and living to the potential he has. If we are going to get anywhere close to becoming that person then we need to know what qualities does “that me” have?

Who Is The Best Possible You?

The best way to figure out what those qualities of “The best possible me,” is to...

Making A Difference - Patti Engelman, Team 485
Up until going to Leadership Awakening I had very high walls up around me that kept me from really "seeing people" or being aware of their needs. Since I have been home my eyes are wide open and I see people with needs everywhere I go.

In the past six weeks I have been performing many random acts of kindness, some for people I have relationships with, others for I people I just meet in passing on the street. Some examples have been:

  • stopping to help an elderly person cross an icy parking lot
  • helping an elderly gentleman get out of a cab at the grocery store
  • making phone calls or sending letter of encouragement
  • asking to watch another busy moms children several times so that she can have some down time
  • phoning and asking to run errands for some who were snowed in
  • sending Jon to snow blow a friends driveway after our blizzard ( her husband is away serving in the military overseas)

In all these instances I had to stop thinking about myself and my agenda to take time to serve someone else. This has made me feel excited. The look I see on peoples faces when you stop and notice them is amazing, their eyes light up and they give you a big smile. You can tell by one small act that you have made their day.

For some it brought them to tears that someone was thinking of them when they really needed encouragement. "Hugs from God", my one friend calls them.

The benefit I have received is the joy I feel in serving and ministering to others. I look for ways to serve people daily. I also know that I am setting a great example for my children to grow up serving others because I am living it at home. I am impacting peoples lives on a daily basis.

Before Awakening I thought I was too busy whenever out with the kids to stop and talk to someone, now I know that is a lie. It is a wonderful feeling knowing you are ministering to people everyday and that it doesn't have to be some big planned out event. Just meeting peoples simple needs wherever God shows you.
