One man can make a difference


Ok, time out for a quick example of a life less ordinary.

It always amazes me the concept that an individual can make a huge impact in their lifetime. It demonstrates the power that is within each of us. I'm not just talking about the likes of Gandhi, Bill Gates, Mother Theresa, Genghis Khan, etc and I'm especially not talking about celebrities though they sometimes do. 

Though their names don't always go down in history I'm talking about everyday folk, often unsung heroes, that we occasionally get to hear of. They exemplify the life less ordinary and yet in many ways what they do is ordinary and within all of us. Maybe it is how they do it, why they do it, but most notably is the effect they put it to.

Matt Harding is an example of this, and if you've not already visited his site then I implore you to www.wherethehellismatt.com . Here is a regular guy, doing something that any of us could of, but look at the effect that he has put a chance opportunity to. His 2008 video has been viewed over 43 million times! Put aside the how or the why and just look at the positive comments on his YouTube videos and Facebook page. His life is definitely less ordinary, and many people are appreciative of it.
