Your dreams can make a difference

I have a few goals that I hope to accomplish with this blog:
  • To write about positive experiences from Optimist Clubs around the world
  • To encourage Optimist Clubs to write about their own experiences in their own blogs
  • To offer tips for other Optimist Club members to make changes when necessary in order to do more in their communities
  • To share ideas so that Optimist Club members and others are inspired to volunteer
  • To connect Optimist Clubs with other organizations and people who want to make the world a better place to live
  • To make a difference
That last one is the biggie, now isn't it? We all want to make a difference; we want to know that something good will come about now or in the future from the work that we put forward. That reminds me of John Lennon when he sang, "They say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

The world needs dreamers. The world needs doers. Think big, share your vision and optimism...you can make a difference if you just try.
