The Ripple Effect

Now, I didn’t make this saying up. It’s been around for a long time but it’s something I can’t get out of my head.

If you’ve read my “You Matter” post, then you know a little bit about my journey to self-worth. I will be using a metaphor to help you visualize what I’m trying to convey. It’s like we are all pebbles and the universe is a vast lake. Every person or pebble has an impact on this lake. Not just every person but every persons’ thoughts, emotions, intentions, and actions are pebbles thrown into this lake.

What’s more important, are those thoughts & actions going to have a positive or negative effect on the universe or lake? Well, folks I’m not an expert, but this is what I know so far. It’s absolutely up to you! What kind of ripple effect do you want to be on the universe? A positive one or negative one? This is why your happiness matters! Why you matter! It’s why we ALL matter! Because we are all contributing our energies and intentions into the universe and it affects us all because we are all connected.

We can all live a better life, if we want to; but what if we go one step further? What if we start our own ripple effect right here and now? I make it a goal to do something kind for a random stranger every single day. I promise you, if you are in a funk and do something kind and unexpected for someone else, it will snap you right out of it!

Now, I ask you friends, are you in? Please share your random act of kindness here and be a part of the positive change we so desperately need in the world!

Be well friends!
