Every small act of kindness ripples into a BIG impact. - Darren Hardy
A life is not important
except in the impact it has on other lives. - Jackie Robinson

A. “Bud” Hillerich headed out to a baseball game on a late spring afternoon. While
watching the game, Pete Browning broke his bat and Hillerich offered to make
him a new bat. Hillerich, who was an apprentice in his father’s woodworking shop,
was also an amateur baseball player that had made baseball bats for teammates
and himself. Browning who had the nickname “The Louisville Slugger” had been in
a batting slump and the first game with his new “Louisville Slugger” bat the
slump was broken (https://www.slugger.com/en-us/explore/our-history
). Through asking if Browning would like a new bat made, Hillerich changed baseball
forever.
I’d have been a .290 hitter
without Louisville Slugger. – Ted Williams
Like Hillerich, the reader has impacted the world and
not realized it. The author experienced this on Saturday. She organized a group
to participate in Wreathes Across America where individuals go to cemeteries
and place wreathes on graves of those who have served in the United States
military. Participants from different groups stated the event impacted their lives,
and they would do it again next year. By simply asking people to volunteer, the
author helped impact someone’s lives. Every reader has probably had the same
impact on someone’s life.
ACTION: This
week, take time to start thinking about what your 2023 goals are and how you
want to impact lives. Start writing down goals and think about how the goals
could impact one person’s life.
