Summary: <br> <br> <br> YOUR RIPPLE EFFECTS<br> EPISODE #85<br> “Everything we do, even the slightest thing we do, can have a ripple effect and repercussions that emanate.

To think that everything that you do has a ripple effect, that every word that you speak, every action that you make affects other people and the planet.” –Victoria Moran <br> <br> <br> <br> I share this with you because of the following lessons I learned:<br> <br> <br> <br> Even when you can’t see the waves rippling in your life, they are. We can’t see the effects of our actions immediately all the time. What you do matters. Who you are matters. The small things you do – kindness towards others, progress on projects, investment in your own personal development, tiny savings steps towards your budgeting, etc. – matters!<br> Sometimes we are just in seasons of waiting and we need to patiently embrace them without taking them as personal reflections of rejection or failure. Patience doesn’t improve unless we choose to have an attitude of patience – stop using the cop-out “I’m just not patient” and start embracing the opportunities you have to be patient.<br> Everything happens in God’s timing.<br> You are not alone. Sometimes it feels like we are all alone – we have periods where isolation can feel very real – and I just want to encourage you today to remember that you are not alone. I believe that we are permitted to feel loneliness from time to time so that we can better appreciate and understand the blessing of companionship, friendship and community. Technology can be isolating – even if it boasts otherwise. Don’t lose the old-school elements of communication and life.<br> <br> <br>
