As we live our lives through time with people, we have come across many unsung heroes who have made a difference in our journey by leading an exemplary life. Whether it has been a friendly smile, a kind gesture, an open heart in listening to our concerns, in an exemplary living, or helping us with a problem, their actions have made a difference.
Often times, we tend to forget how important our interactions with others can be and the impact of these experiences. Just as we’ve come across many unsung heroes on our journey this moment, the same can be said for our respective experiences within the community we live in. I am sure that each of us can name one or more individuals that have made a positive impact through their life style. These impacts are powerful in making us who we are today within our community. As we think about the individuals that have made an impact through their unsung efforts, we wonder about what could we do in order to acknowledge these efforts?
As I reflect on this recognition of these unsung heroes, I realize that some often tend to focus on the negative side of the people. As a result, most of the positive impacts are often negated by the less than positive impact that we encounter.
