Sir Winston Churchill once said:

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” 

In a world that seems so large, it can sometime feel disheartening to think about the differences you can make in your daily lives. Advancements in technology have made the world much easier to traverse but, at the same time, those advancements also help you realize how many people there are in this world.

The fact is though that it is the little things in life that can make a bigger impact in the long run and have a lasting effect on the people around us. For me it was two friends on mine in high school, one was my girlfriend at the time and the other her older sister, who brought me to Canada for the first time. There they showed me the path that I would eventually choose to follow and allow me to be the person I am today. At the time it was such a small thing to have gone on the trip and now looking back I can see how much it has meant to me. That one trip has served as a foundation for the life I live today.

The jobs we do everyday have the same kind of power. They are not necessarily what fully define us as people but they are the main outlet for making an impact on the world around us. TEAM EFFECT, Inc.’s most recent success has come in the form of our Holler Hoppin’ Zip Lines out at Rawhide Ranch. We have found great joy in spreading laughter and adventure to the visitors who join us and treat each session as an opportunity to make long lasting friends. We try to treat each 1 ½ hour session as an opportunity to spread joy, a sense of adventure, and bring groups closer together through shared experiences, and the list of benefits go on from there.

The question then is what does your job do for the community of people you see each day? Do you approach your job as just a way to make a living or do you see it as an outlet to affect those around you?
