00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:03.040
Just curious.
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.200
Welcome to Just Curious Media.
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.400
This is Good Thinking, and I'm Jason Connell.
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:14.480
So I'm back with another weekly reflection episode.
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:23.600
And I just want to say, be sure to check out the most recent positive conversation, and that was with Arnold Beekis.
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:29.679
We talked about a lot of things, but primarily brain fitness and brain athletes.
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:35.359
So if you fit into either one of those categories or both or want to, you want to check that out.
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.039
It's a great conversation.
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.920
And check out the other positive conversations.
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.640
We have several out there and we have them coming out each and every week.
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:46.479
So many more to come.
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.520
Okay, so now I'm going to pivot to the new theme of the week.
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.799
We're coming off of giving, which was so powerful.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:04.400
We could just do a whole year on the theme of giving, but we are going to transition, and that is to making a difference.
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:10.079
And here are five takeaways about the power of making a difference.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.799
Number one, making a difference creates meaning and purpose.
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:25.599
Knowing that your actions can positively impact someone else's life brings a greater sense of fulfillment and reminds you that even small contributions matter.
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:26.879
Wow.
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.560
Number two, making a difference strengthens relationships.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:43.359
Offering kindness, encouragement, or support creates meaningful connections, builds trust, and strengthens the bonds that bring people together.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.400
Number three, making a difference inspires positive change.
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:59.760
One thoughtful action can create a ripple effect, encouraging others to contribute and spreading positivity throughout families, friendships, and communities.
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.280
Number four, making a difference builds confidence and self-worth.
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:15.680
Recognizing your ability to positively influence others reinforces your sense of value and encourages you to continue taking meaningful action.
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.680
And number five, making a difference creates a more fulfilling life.
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:32.639
Looking beyond your own needs and contributing to something greater than yourself can bring lasting happiness, gratitude, and a deeper appreciation for life.
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.800
Wow, these are fantastic.
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.960
So again, making a difference creates meaning and purpose.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:49.520
It strengthens relationships, it inspires positive change, it builds confidence and self-worth, and it creates a more fulfilling life.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.520
Who doesn't want that?
00:02:51.759 --> 00:03:00.879
Tap into making a difference in your own life, in someone else's life, in the world that you live in while you're here.
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.319
Make a difference.
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.560
Strive to make a difference.
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.039
So very, very powerful.
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.719
And I'm really excited about the upcoming positive affirmations.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.960
Again, Monday through Sunday, this will be the theme of those, and you don't want to miss it.
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.360
And one way to ensure that from happening is to subscribe to the show.
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:27.919
You'll get every single episode waiting for you in your app of choice if you subscribe to the show.
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.479
And if you happen to want to help us more, give the show a five star rating.
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.960
It literally takes no time at all.
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.039
And if you have a few minutes, give us a five star review.
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.919
It really does help us immensely.
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:48.719
But beyond that, just listening, being a loyal fan of the show means so very much to us.
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.759
So thank you again, and we'll see you next time.
