The Ripple Effect- How to Change the World

Think about the mood you're in right now.
Think about its repercussions on the world around you.
Its ripple effect.
If your are not thrilled about how you are experiencing life at this moment
Acknowledge it. Own it.
Then think about what you can do
to go about changing it,
Before you drop it on the world around you.
Alchemy is that magical power we all possess within us
and can put into action.
Think about using it by
counting your blessings...
start with just one and see what happens.
Notice something beautiful and amazing in its simplicity.
Such as the tiniest stripe on the smallest of flowers.
Wonder to yourself "Why is that there?"
and then realize
it is there to awaken you and free you.
Fill your eyes with the hidden wonders all around you
and then
feel the warmth that swells within your soul.
Look at something in nature closely
and allow yourself to be Wowed
Work magic by telling someone
or something
that you love them.
Write, dance, sing!
Step beyond the mood you are in
and smile at a stranger.
Smile at the stranger in the mirror
and seek to get to know him or her better.
Find the courage to forgive someone
or yourself for that matter.
Take some action, no matter how small it may seem,
within your own life to transform it.
Find the wherewithal to make a small yet simple decision
that will start that process.
To love. after all, is simply a decision.
Selflessly set out to change the world around you
by changing
the world within you.
