...about the creator...

Hello friends... my name is Matt, the mastermind behind this whole idea of ...defying the odds...

I know that deep down everyone has a desire to "do something bigger." And I as well, want to leave a legacy of hope and help. We don't have to "save Africa", or feed the entire homeless population by ourselves! I wanted to create a way for GenY, or X to network with each other in order to accomplish their goals of helping others. Every act of kindness doesn't go unseen. It could be as easy as holding a door for an elderly lady, or gentlemen, opening the car door for your friend.

A little about me... I'm a student at Lindenwood University who is currently studying in the Communication program. I currently work at St Charles River Church in their music department. But you see, this idea, this blog, its not about me! Its about what WE can be, what WE can do together to help others.

Comment. Tell me about yourself and what you can offer to help others. For some, it'll be as simple as holding a door for someone in a hurry, for others like myself, maybe you own a business and can offer your assistance if someone is in need of that...

For example, comment like this...

Sometimes it's something as simple as a smile.. helping someone load groceries in their car in the parking lot.. offering to buy their soda at the soda machine.. or inviting them over for dinner and fellowship, where you can share what God has done in your life. There are a million ways to make an impact on someone else's life. You just have to watch for the opportunities and take them!
