"The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the
most credentials,the most money...or the most awards.
They simply are the ones who care the most." Charles Schulz
A dear friend sent me the above, which is attributed to Charles Schulz. The writing leads you through a quiz of sorts to name the five wealthiest individuals in the world, five who won the Miss America pageant, etc. Then it asks you to name people who made a difference in your life. The obvious point is that we will not always remember the headliners, but we will remember those people who loved us and made a difference in our lives. There is well-regarded research that says that it only takes one caring person to make a difference in someone else's life. For a child, it only takes one person who cares about that child for that child to be able to believe in him or herself.
Who are the people who loved you enough for you to believe in yourself?
Who have you loved enough to help them believe in themselves? We each can make a difference.
