Whatever you start, whether it's an argument, an apology, a new job, relationship, etc. you set things in motion of a similar nature. Are you attacking or loving during your day?
Are you thinking of what you're against (certain people, conditions, etc.) or what you're for (harmony, peace for everyone.) A ripple effect is being put into motion. In business and friendships, it's called networking.
Feel free to share your experience of The Ripple Effect.

just saw the movie ground hog day. Is the ripple effect like that?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThat movie is a wonderful example. The ripple effect is a force created by Supreme Intelligence that as humans, we cannot understand.
However, we are a part of its power, and can learn to "direct" it to bring us new outcomes.
The main character was being influenced by the force or ripple effect. He knew what was to come, even the things he didn't like.
As long as he didn't change his attitude, this was his situation, over and over again.
When he finally did something different, he directed the force to ripple another way, a better way, a way that was in harmony with his new choice.
From the movie, we are shown we can direct that force, create another ripple effect.
And since we can't escape that force, why not begin to make new outcomes by doing new things?

My neighbor and I fought over a huge tree on both our properties about who rakes up the leaves and removes the broken branches? We didn't talk unless we were mad about something. Now our sons are friends in third grade and we had to talk about other things. We became friendly and even like each other. Were our boys were the ripple?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteIt was wonderful that the boys were still allowed to be friends...in these cases, the parents often influence the children to carry their grudge as well.
What becomes the strongest of feelings, is the energy that most prevails.
Clearly, the friendship of the children began a ripple of harmony. Perhaps without that, the adults may never have spoken again.
The results of this situation were because the desire for peace was rooted in the children and no one planted anything else.
Now you have a stronger bond that you know can hold together in an imperfect world.
The bond is formed by Love, Forgiveness, Acceptance, Flexibility -- all necessary qualities for an outcome such as yours.

I remember hearing about random acts of kindness a while ago. Is that the same as the ripple effect?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteAbsolutely!
The smallest thing you do that is loving, reaps huge rewards over time.
It holds the potential to change nations at war.
