Two life Paths 111<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ripple Effect<br />

When you create positive improvements in your life, a positive ripple<br />

effect is created all around you. You become a better relative, friend, business<br />

associate, and community member, which in turns creates a bigger positive<br />

impact on society than simply the change created in you. When you reach out<br />

and positively affect another person through your interactions and words, you<br />

create a slight change in that person, who is then more likely to reach out and<br />

positively affect someone else. Simply put, one touches another, who touches<br />

another, who touches another. You are constantly creating a ripple effect by the<br />

way you affect your environment. It can either be a positive ripple or a negative<br />

ripple. <strong>The</strong> choice is always yours.<br />

Take action now to start casting your positive ripples. Do you have every<br />

resource you’ll need to accomplish everything you want in life ... right now? No.<br />

Can you put your hands on all those resources right now? No.<br />

But can you make a choice—and come up with one penny?<br />

That’s all it takes to start.<br />

curve. You’re curving either upward or downward.<br />

Wherever you may be in your own life, understanding the <strong>Slight</strong> <strong>Edge</strong> gives you<br />

the tools to start fresh—right now!—and place yourself firmly on the upper curve.
