Message of the Day - Making the World Brighter

Good Morning,
 
My current read is "ice cream as a clue to the meaning of the universe" by Billy Sprague (http://www.amazon.com/Ice-Cream-Clue-Meaning-Universe/dp/0736903054). The title caught my attention and being a fan of ice cream, I figured why not.
 
Billy Sprague talks a lot about Anne Frank, her courage and the impact she has had on the world. In one section he writes:
 
"You were very brave, Anne.
In one of your sad moments, you wrote: "The world will go on without me." It has, like it will without any of us, but it is brighter because of you. "
 
The world will go on no matter what happens to us. Not you, not me, not the President of the United States, not anyone.
 
The question is will it be a brighter and better place because of you?
 
Will the world, at the end of our existence, be a better place than it was prior to our being here.
 
Maybe it is a scene from It's a Wonderful Life when Clarence shows George what life would be like without him. Maybe it is a call to make an impact somewhere, somehow. It's a question we all ask about ourselves at one time or another.
 
I hope the world will be brighter after I am gone because of these messages and the impact that have had on all of you and those you have shared them with.
 
I hope the world will be brighter after I am gone because of what I have given to my family and friends.
 
What are you doing that will make the world brighter?
 
Brightening the world in all we do!
