<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 />
