The Ripple Effect

If we had a chance to look back at all the opportunities we’ve missed, would we have done anything different. In hindsight, it’s easy for us to say that we would have taken advantage of the moment. But not knowing what we know now, there would be no reason to change our actions. Sometimes, it’s part of our journey to miss opportunities because the timing is not right. All of our actions and non-actions have a ripple effect. What we do or not do is of our choosing and affects not only who we are but what happens later on in our life. It’s like throwing a stone in a pond and watching the ripples continue on forever. Whatever we decide to do, the consequences of our actions affect others in ways we can’t imagine. Know that it is part of our destiny to leave unique imprints of who we are. Today, be the change you want to happen. Create ripples in the universe that matter not only to you, but to your community. You have the power to be part of the universal change that is occurring throughout the world. Don’t settle for ripples, choose to generate memorable waves.
What kind of imprint do you want to leave...

(Sometimes I get so caught up with everyday life, that I forget that I am leaving a ripple in the universe and what I do matters in ways I can't even imagine. I guess that's when the life kicks us in the pants to pay more attention to what we're doing.)
