You Never Know Who You Impact

August 23rd, 2009 at 02:50 am

My family and I just finished watching a movie: Mr. Holland's Opus. It's an older movie, but it is really good. In the end,the main character, Mr. Holland realizes the impact he has had on the students he has taught over a 30 year career.

After watching the movie, I log on and see that Cptacek has made use of information from this

Text is website and Link is http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/
website for crockpot recipes. I mentioned this site on my blog earlier this week. I've impacted someone's life, just by mentioning this. I can only guess that others have been impacted by my blog postings and yours, too!!

As a family, we talked a little about the point of the movie. My husband was reminded of a friend that we both worked with. That friend invited my husband to participate in his wedding only because he had an impact in his life. It was such a surprise to my husband. He only thought of the man as a coworker. To this day, it still moves my husband to tears to have been told that he made a difference in someone's life.

My point is that none of us will truly know the full impact that we have on the lives of others, postive or negative. But know this: You do have an impact. You do matter. You are important.

And hey, if you have something to say...join us here. Start a blog on savingadvice.com or participate in the forums. You DO have something to say that will impact someone you don't even know!!

    Great point! I'm often surprised when someone on here I didn't know followed my blog references something from awhile back. I'm sure there are others who would be surprised at how I've taken up one of their ideas and perhaps forgotten to mention it specifically.

    This post very much touches on my "spirituality," if I use the term loosely. I'm atheist, and sometimes I see comments on (non-SA) blogs wondering what keeps atheists on the straight and narrow, if they don't follow the teachings of a god or the guidance of a bible. For me, I want to be as positive a presence as I can be during my brief time here, and leave as little hurt and/or hard feelings as possible. If I find a way to make big differences for a lot of people, great, but if I don't, I still try hard in little ways to spread the love, help people out, not be a burden to anyone, etc.
