I was out to dinner last night with a couple of friends and there were a couple of other people that I hadn't met before. And as seems to always happen with me, I seem to bond or have common views with someone that I just met, yet feel like I've known my whole life. As conversation progressed, talks about family, values, beliefs, and faith had heightened and culminated with one simple question.... "WHY ARE WE HERE"? This guy was about 20 years older than me, but we bonded like brothers. And after about two straight hours of great talks, I just felt that he had answers that I had been seeking. Thats when I asked him, so, "WHY ARE WE HERE"? Part of me thought that he would have THE ANSWER, and another part of me thought that, at a minimum, he would would be able to shed some light on the question.
He looked at me with this big smile and he said,
"THATS EASY..... TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE".
Then he proceeded to retrace the steps of our previous two hours of conversation and said, "MAN, LOOK AT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLES LIVES EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT YOU WAKE UP. HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE CAN NOT ONLY SAY THAT THEY LOVE THEIR CAREER, BUT THAT THEY ALSO GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE 7 DAYS A WEEK, 356 DAYS A YEAR"! I was blown away how one such simple, yet such difficult question, could be answered so easily. It really made me realize that no matter how much we THINK we may know, WE CAN ALWAYS CONTINUE TO LEARN.
But you dont have to be an HRT/TRT expert to make a difference. EVERY ONE OF US can make a difference in someones life every day that we wake up. It might be as simple as holding a door for someone, giving a smile or a wave to someone less fortunate than you, telling a young kid to stay off the streets, etc. There are a million different things we all can do.....
"TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE".
