Recently, I have been feeling as if I am running short on time to make a difference on this earth.

For many years, I have been running around doing projects, undertaking activities, implementing initiatives that I hope will make “a difference” – for my family, for my daughters, for my friends, for future generations.

I worry that not enough is happening, that I’m not making the impact I want.

Today, a post on facebook from Project Happiness made me realize I need to look at my goals differently. The caption for the photo at right was “Forget perfection. Everything has cracks, it’s the only way to let the light in.”

Today, I realized that it really doesn’t matter how many initiatives I undertake, how much money I earn to give away to important causes or what stature I attain.

What matters is how I let the light in, to shine through to others, and how I touch their lives.

Those rays are stronger than any single project I could undertake or donation I could make.

Thank you, Project Happiness.
