How do you LiveDifferent?

In 2013, on my first LiveDifferent Build, I saw a t-shirt that said, “Life is about people, not stuff.” That simple message has stuck with me ever since. It reminds me that love and support are paramount, no matter where we are or what we’ve been through. While we can’t change the entire world, we can make a real difference in the lives of those around us. Small acts of kindness—just being there for someone—can mean everything. I strive to live different by focusing on people and spreading kindness, knowing it can have a lasting impact.
