Life is like an ocean. There are ups and downs. The tides ebb and flow. There are storms and there is calm. And occasionally, something, or someone, creates a ripple.
Why does everything you do, matter? There is scientific research on this question that you can find in a book called, The Now Effect by Elisha Goldstein. A social scientist named Nicholas Christakis, M.D., Ph.D., and James Fowler, Ph.D., conducted a study that looked at the effect of social networks. They found that obesity and loneliness are contagious by up to three degrees of separation. This study suggests a correlation between the number of people that feel well in your life and your chances of feeling well yourself. It actually enhances your chances of feeling well by 9 percent. Simply put, the things you do and the way people behave around you are contagious and have a ripple effect across all your relationships.
You were put on this earth to have an impact and make a difference. Believe it! What you say and do add tremendous value to the ability you have to make a difference. Make the choice to be a significant influencer, a relationship builder, and a world changer!
Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world.”
It all starts with you, and the way you think, the way you talk, and the way you walk! Changing your self-talk, the way you interact with people, and simply the way you carry yourself can improve the overall quality of your life.
4 TIPS TO DO WHAT MATTERS:
INVENTORY YOUR RELATIONSHIPS - Are they healthy? Are they contagious? Remember, “birds of a feather flock together”
CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK - Eliminate the negative, the past is the past! Brian Tracy said, “You become what you think about most of the time.” Be optimistic and opportunistic.
CONFIDENTLY COMMUNICATE - Do you build people up? Be decisive! Bring clarity!
CREATE A VISION - Do you have goals? What are your personal values? How big will you allow yourself to dream?
Be the RIPPLE, START NOW! It’s the difference between surviving and thriving!
