The Ripple Effect
What ripples are you creating in your life right now?
Just like water cascading over a fountain creates ripples that extend far out into the pond or lake in which it is located, your life create ripples by the thoughts you think, the words you speak, and the actions you take.
How can you use this “ripple effect” to create positive change in yourself, in others, and in your world?
Spiritually, we’re all connected. What we think, say, and do can profoundly affect others. You affect yourself and others in a positive way by expressing through the following:
Your Attitudes—An attitude of gratitude, compassion, joy in living
Your Thoughts—Positive, uplifting, empowering thoughts
Your Feelings— Feelings of confidence, joy, and peace which follow your thoughts
Your Words—Words of caring, kindness, support, love
Your Actions and Reactions—Choosing to take action or respond from a place of peace and calm
How can you use the ripple effect to create the highest and best for yourself, in your community, and in your world?
Find the light within yourself.
You may connect with your inner light through prayer, meditation, music, inspirational messages, being in nature, or simply sitting in the silence.
Monitor your thoughts, words, and actions to determine if they are from your highest and best self. If not, choose to change to more positive, uplifting ones.
Connect with the light on the outer.
Spend time with people who bring joy, peace, and love into your life.
Choose to participate in activities that are fun, joyful, or bring you a sense of well-being.
Share your light with others.
Remember to use kind, compassionate, positive words and actions. Smile. Give someone a hug.
Ask yourself how you can bring light to any situation in which you find yourself. Maybe you can see the situation from another perspective or offer an alternative, more positive action to take.
Join with other lights.
There is great power in a group of like-minded people holding a positive intention or purpose. Connect with other positive, like-minded people in your communities or in the world.
Each of us connecting with our own inner light, sharing that light, and connecting with the light of others can create powerful ripples that create harmony, peace, and balance for us as individuals and in our world.
Let’s create beautiful ripples today!
