Make a Difference

Mark Quinn

Each of us always have a choice on how we respond to situations and move our lives forward as we see fit. We can get "stuck" sometimes and producing these sessions are my way of helping me get "unstuck" and to be mindful that I have a choice. Even if I don't make a choice, I still have made a choice. Published Monday through Friday, these sessions are somewhere between mindfulness and reflection. Starting with a quote and a quick thought, Make a Difference just might become a daily stop on making us both a better version of ourselves; one day at a time. Join me and let's find out!

    What You Can Look Forward To This Season

    What You Can Look Forward To This Season Here’s a glimpse of what’s ahead: 1. The Power of Curiosity Over Comparison We’ll explore how shifting your mental lens from “Why don’t I have that?” to “What can I learn?” can change everything. 2. Stillness as a Reset Button Quick moments of pause that help reorganize your thoughts, energy, and priorities. 3. Resilience Through Micro-Habits Small, repeatable actions that bring long-term transformation without burnout. 4. How to Listen to the Quiet Signals of Your Life Recognizing the whispers before they turn into shouts. 5. Rebuilding Focus in a Distracted World Tools and reflections to help you reclaim attention in a world constantly asking for it. 6. Returning to Your Values When Life Feels Off-Track Simple ways to realign your actions with what matters most. And of course… every episode will end the way you expect: with a small, meaningful action you can take today — an action that truly makes a difference. [Segment 4: What This Season Is Really About] This season is about renewal. It’s about becoming more intentional. It’s about noticing the moments we usually rush past. And above all — it’s about reconnecting with yourself in the middle of everyday life. These episodes aren’t lectures. They’re invitations. Invitations to slow down… breathe… and make a mindful choice that shifts your day for the better. [Segment 5: Call to Action — Rejoining the Journey] As we return, I want to invite you into a simple practice: Before each episode, ask yourself: “What do I need today?” A pause? Clarity? Courage? Gratitude? Presence? You’ll be surprised how often the episode you choose matches the moment you’re living. [Closing] So welcome back — truly. Thank you for giving me space in your day and in your life. New episodes begin this week. I can’t wait to take this journey with you again. Until next time… take a breath, take a moment, and of course — make a difference.
