It's not so hard to make a difference in this world.
That's the chorus to a new song written by accomplished songwriter
(and fantastic husband) Jason Howe of the Band Brother Howe.
You can listen to this song directly below. (I play acoustic guitar and sing back up vocals.)

As I reflected on this song I thought, I spend so much of my time worrying that my life is making no difference in this world... that there will be nothing to "show" for my life when I am gone.
But every once in a while I get this other view...that each of our lives so impacts all the other lives we come into contact with, that we are constantly making a difference in this world. Our actions create new currents in the ocean of life and we are constantly making an impact on every life we touch!
This is actually a more frightening thought than the first.
What if I am far from powerless in changing my world... what if I am already changing it, even if unconsciously? Am I using my power for good... or for evil? What is the effect of my influence on others?
To see an example of how we can each influence each other for good, take a look at this cool insurance ad with a rocking song by Krystal Meyers.

The truth is, we all make a difference in this world. It is not so hard to do so... in fact, it is impossible not to make a difference in this world! So, how do we want this world to look? How do you want to make a difference? (leave a comment!)
I want to send out a special "Thank you!" to all those who, by taking some time, showing up, and doing something a little out of the box by singing with a bunch of strangers in our living room for our recording really "made a difference" in the final chorus of the "Make a Difference" song!
