Just one more Step! Will make a difference

A farmer kept his new dog tied to a tree in the front yard. The dog would run after the children walking by and the leash would snap the dog back. Eventually the dog quit trying. After having the dog for 6 months, the owner felt bad and decided to let the dog go. So the owner loosened up his collar. That very same day a cat walked by. This cat would tease the dog everyday, as it stood in the spot where the leash wouldn't allow the dog to go. Sometimes as the cat would pass by, it would run by the dog. Once again the dog chased after the cat. But slowed down as it new, that the leash would eventually snap him back and stopped 1 step away from where the cat stopped running.

In life can you give 1% more each day. Can you just take that extra step in life. That's all. Just one more step. We get caught up in life that we stop right where we are. The dog was free and didn't know it. All he had to do was just take that extra step. Whether it's exercising for 5 more minutes. Reading that book for a few more minutes. Giving a compliment to someone, can make or break their day. Getting a small gift for someone, who has gone out of their way for you in the past. Just 1 more step. Just turn up your enthusiasm one more degree. Just one more step can make all the difference in the world.

Your presence should make a difference.
