The Any Person Mindset says any person can make a significant difference. However, to make a significant difference, you have to get opportunities to make a difference.
Abraham Lincoln was largely the same person in March 1865 as he was in March 1860. The difference was he had the opportunity to be president of the US, and he made the most of his time there from March 1861 to April 1865. He had actually lost elections for lower offices, but he moved on from the opportunities he did not get, he prepared himself for the opportunity to be president, he reached out for the opportunity, he received the opportunity, and he fully engaged himself in the opportunity.
