The Ripple Effect

Never underestimate the effect of small efforts made consistently. We can move mountains that way.

I approach the idea of changing the world for the better one day at a time, one mind at a time. If I do not chunk it down in my own mind, it becomes too daunting, seemingly impossible. Changing one other mind about what is possible sounds like a small accomplishment in day, but is it?

Not really. I count on the ripple effect. If I can affect one mind, and they go out and affect someone else, who changes someone else, and on it goes, that’s huge.

I never know where it goes, or how far it goes in any given day, but I count on the ripple effect.

What ripple will you create today?

Dream Big, Every Day

Your daydreams, your wild imaginings, are your most important work every day. Make time for them, because they are the very foundation of your life. The rest is just intention, work, sweat, you know… the practical part. Without the dream, you have nothing.

Risk Opens New Doors

Leave a reply

Risk opens new doors... is a snippet from a longer poem, published a few years ago in an anthology of work written by seven women. This was my piece on the theme of risk.

Dare to Risk

Why have you chosen
a life that you say you hate?
You are chained by fear.

Risk opens new doors,
the guard at the prison gate
is really just you.

When your box gets small,
and you cannot breathe at all,
Alice says, “Stretch your mind”.

Click the Ruby Shoes!
You’ve always had the power
to claim your true Self.

Release from your past,
imagine a new future,
choose your happiness!

And an excerpt on risk from my ebook Becoming Bigger: In a world that wants to keep you small:

“We humans have a tendency to stay within our familiar routines and patterns. After all, that’s our safe zone, right? Change can be a very uncomfortable proposition, but the comfort zone inevitably becomes a boring prison. When we feel antsy and our hearts are screaming to break down the walls, this is a signal that it’s time for change. Our souls want to learn and grow. It’s a deep drive within each of us, but fear of change tends to hold us back. To become unstuck, we must have courage to let go of the old and try something new…“

Your beautiful soul was not meant to be caged. What risk will you take, what wall are you going to break down, what new door will you walk through today, to claim your happiness? Carpe diem.

I have a policy on Sundays now. Only happy thoughts. If the world totally goes to hell today, oh well, Monday to Saturday I tried to help keep it from happening. (I also write Humanity’s Future on Substack.)

Today my cats and I are in the garden. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday. Talk again next week. 🙂
