Random Small Acts

Approximately 50,000 years ago a relatively small nickel-iron meteorite left it's indelible mark near Winslow, Arizona. The 160 foot rock left a crater nearly a mile wide at the rim and half a mile deep when it struck. As far as we know, it did so without any celebration or fuss. But, the resulting dent can be seen from space and remains a popular attraction along the famed, historic US Route 66.

It's unlikely a meteorite navigates with any intention. But if it did, imagine either the chaos or peace it would bring to things and lives in its path. Unlike meteorites, we can choose to steer. We can choose to act in a way which always leaves a good dent, and makes things specifically better...with intention. We can choose to have purpose so even our random, small acts end up making a difference...perhaps over time a big difference.

Choose to act. Choose to steer. Choose wisely.

And by all means, go make a dent.
