A good story isn’t just about the hero. It’s about people the hero loves, the people dependent on the hero, the victim the hero is going to rescue. Stories may be told through the lens of the hero, but they are always about what is happening to a community of people.*
Donald Miller
Everybody said you should serve a cause larger than yourself, but nobody tells you how.**
David Brooks
The notion of making a difference goes up a notch
when our service and enabling of another
makes it possible for them to make their difference
in the lives of those around them.
What this might be is not up to us –
And therein lies the fun and wonder of it all –
But it is why dreamwhispering exists:
It’s about you and your dream …
And the people you will work your magic for,
Through your talents, energies, and values –
Three places to begin.
For people seeking to make a difference,
it begins wit helping other people
make a difference though.^
