What If

What if we could see the results of our effort before we begin? Would that makes us finally begin working on that project we have in mind? What if we knew for certain that our project could touch and change the life of one person? Would we still do it? Sometimes all we need is a wake up call; the words of a friend or a stranger to see beyond the present, to recognize our abilities and capacities, and do it. What if that only person we touch with our work is motivated to do something and as a result hundreds if not millions of people are touched and transformed?

Many people know Billy Graham and how through his preaching thousands of people came to Christianity. Many lives have been transformed by God through the efforts of this man. However, very little is said of the person who spoke the gospel with him. Who motivated Bill Gates to stand firm in his ideas many perceived as ridiculous? How about Albert Einstein, the Wright brothers, Nikola Tesla, Leonardo da Vinci, George Washington Carver, and many others? Who motivated them to pursue their ideas? Nick Vujicic was born with no legs and no arms and is one of the greatest motivators of our time.

I can keep adding to the list of people who are known for changing lives through their inventions and their words. You might know many people who might not be famous neither have a Wikipedia page but served as motivation to you. Maybe you are the motivator of someone who is going to change the world. Maybe you are the one who is going to be motivated to make a difference in many people.
