It’s an idea and my ethos. It’s my belief that any small interaction we have can lead to immeasurable impact. This impact may start isolated but can continue to ripple to extremes. This is sometimes referred to this as the butterfly effect. The impact we have on the world stems from how we interact with it. Choosing to engage with the world in positive ways would improve the world around us dramatically.
A small example of this is how powerful it can be when we change just one person’s day. Let’s say a waiter at a restaurant is having an awful day and you took a few extra seconds to engage them more personally. You used their name and showed them care. This could turn their day around and give them a renewed purpose. A clearer perspective can have a positive change on the interactions they have with others. This is a continually spreading impact to countless others. One engaging interaction you have with someone can create a lasting ripple on the world.
I have a deep belief in the power of the ripple effect. It’s had an impact on me and I’ve been able to see the impact it can have on others. Even talking with others about the ripple effect can become a wave that influences others to be more aware of their impact. With that awareness, people can be more diligent in creating further positive ripples in the lives of those around them. I find my fulfillment by striving to create positive ripples on the world.
Any amount of positive change can have a huge impact and it is my conscious effort to create positive change by making continuous ripples in the world around me.
