Impact "my" world

A few weeks ago I was at an annual staff meeting and one of the invited speakers was Mark DeMoss. Mark comes from a prominent family, he is the president of his own Public Relations firm. To many who do PR work he is like a rock star. One of my team were so excited to hear him speak because she had heard so much about his success when she was a marketing student. Mark is one of the most humble men I've ever met.

His first talk rocked my world and I cannot get what he said out of my mind. He said that he's given up the dream to change "the" world and instead has been challenged to impact "my" world.

What makes up "my" world according to Mark:

1. My family: ultimate legacy
2. My staff
3. My clients (for me this would be those our programs serve)
4. those select people God has put in my path

That's it, nothing more.

Greatness is then defined by a sustained impact on those in my world. He then challenged us to do our best to tackle the world God has entrusted to each of us.

How would you define your world? Can you write their names? How many people would mention your name as having an impact on their lives?
