How to Make an Undeniable Difference Wherever You Are

“Good, as it ripens, becomes continually more different not only from evil but from other good.”
― C.S. Lewis


By being undeniably different, you are making an undeniable difference, wherever you are, whatever you are doing.

It's simple.

You are the only you right here, right now.

You, alone, being you alone, taking up the time and space that only you can take, are changing the atmosphere as soon as you arrive.

Unless you're not.
That is, unless you're doing everything in your power to be like everybody else around you, doing what they do.

Think of it like this.

C.S. Lewis, when asked what a writer could do to develop a style, gave this answer:

"The way for a person to develop a style is (a) to know exactly what he wants to say, and (b) to be sure he is saying exactly that."

I'm following this as a writer and speaker, but I am also following it in everything I am and everything I do.

You should to.

Wherever you are, and in whatever you do, know exactly what you want to say (or do) and be sure you are saying and doing exactly that.  In doing so, you will stumble upon originality. 

You will say and do things that no one else in heaven, on earth, or in hell would ever consider doing.

You will be universally different, and thus make a universal difference.
You'll have significance with God, with me, and with everybody!

Make an undeniable difference by being undeniably different!
