Ripple Effect

Ripple Effect

Have you ever thought about the impact you have on yourself, others or the universe?

Think about when you went fishing as a kid.

Did you ever skip rocks?

The better you threw, the more it skipped right?

What about the fish that was surfacing?

The bigger the fish, the larger the ripple would appear, right?

I woke up this morning with this thought on my head, 

I am writing this blog before I even get ready for the morning - before I lose my thought about it.

Our problems -

don't they also have a ripple effect?

If we keep them to ourselves and they eat at us - 

that ripple inside grows and grows.

If we share them with others, 

our own ripple lessens 
because we've shared the burden.

What if that person that you shared with is 

already dealing with their own ripple effect.

You drop your rock into the middle of their problems

they either carry the burden, 

or yours also weighs them down.

However - what if you create a ripple effect of....
kindness
understanding
positive influence
joyfulness

Basically create a positive
ripple effect.

Negativity can destroy you 
and those you encounter
 and those you hope to reach out to.

Thinking along these lines, I did a search about ripple affect and others....

What about Teachers? Ripple Effect - Teachers 

What about Parents? Ripple Effect - Parents 

What about Others? Ripple Effect - Everyone 

After looking up this theory of the Ripple Effect, 

I realize that it's not a new concept.  

It's quite a study: Happiness In the World - Rippling Effect

Ripple effect

A ripple effect is a situation in which ripples expand across the water when an object is dropped into it, an effect from an initial state can be followed outwards incrementally. Examples can be found in economics where an individual's reduction in spending reduces the incomes of others and their ability to spend.
