We were placed on earth to fulfill a purpose, and that purpose is what gives meaning to our lives, you were sent to the world to make an impact and make a difference. ~Myles Munroe
As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself . . . Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility. ~Nelson Mandela
I think every player should think that he's a difference maker. ~Brett Favre
If you want to make a positive impact, no matter how far-reaching, start at home. Treat your family members like treasures. ~John C. Maxwell
John C. Maxwell had quite a bit of wisdom on this topic - here are a couple more:
It is hard to feel bad about yourself when you are doing something good for someone else. There are a lot of ways to lift your self-esteem, but making a positive difference in another's life has got to be my best leadership guidance. Serving others and working to add value to them will lift your spirits in a way that nothing else will. ~John C. Maxwell
If you don't love where you are right now, you won't love where you are going. Here is what I know: People who are passionate about what they do every day and love where they are in life are the fortunate ones. They have discovered their purpose. They are the difference makers who fully understand the gift of adding value, and yes, they can't help but love where they are going on their journey. ~John C. Maxwell
You are the light of the world―like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
~Matthew 5:14-16~
Be a fountain, not a drain. ~Rex Hudler

Quoting reminds me there are other people in the world besides only me.
And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
