"Do Something Significant"

Talking with Mike Stemm and Craig Meredith for the story I wrote (and see sidebar here) on Dominion Trading Co. for this week’s Splash, a quote from Mike that I was only able to partially include in the story stuck out to me. Talking about the different perspective you have when you come back from Africa, he said:
“Everyone I take, myself included, comes back changed. You see life, you see the world in a different perspective, and you realize how much you take for granted.
“I think even more than that you realize we’re created for a purpose. We’re created for significance, not just to see how much wealth we can accumulate or the position we can aspire to. But it’s ‘What am I going to do with this?’ And that’s where to me doing something significant is far more important than being successful.”
Not all of us will be able to go overseas to make a difference, but all of us can do something "significant" right where we’re at.
As promised at the end of the story, here are some more links to learn about what Stemm and Meredith are doing:

And here is a wonderful video showing Tsehaynish. At the end, she sings a song written following her surgery.
