Thank you for the difference you make.

Institutional education and occupation don't encourage difference-making or decision-making. They're designed for conformity and compliance. Keep quiet, do what you're told, don't ask questions, and follow the herd are implicitly and explicitly baked into most schools and jobs.

It takes courage and discipline to define, develop, and deliver an endeavor that makes a difference instead of succumbing to the status quo. Thank you for doing the work required to make meaningful change happen.

Work that matters embraces and leverages curiosity, courage, collaboration, and creativity. These skills are seldom taught or encouraged in our curriculums or corporate manuals.

If you're reading this, you've decided to act on an aspiration to advance in making things better in work that matters. This is human work that builds identity and forges meaning. It's the real work of finding fulfillment and joy through work that serves others.

Thank you.

Thank you for deciding to develop your potential and deliver on your promise in an enterprise that enhances your life by elevating the lives of others. Thank you for your care, consideration, and compassion. Thank you for serving from the inside out.

Legacy isn't the money or monuments you leave behind. It's the difference you're making right now. Thank you for deciding to make a difference. Thank you for living your legacy.

I am grateful for the work I get to do because I get to do it with you. Let's keep flying higher together.

Scott Perry, Chief Difference-Maker at Creative on Purpose.
