In a world of over six billion people, it’s easy to believe that the only way to initiate profound transformation is to take extreme action. I beg to differ. While we do have the ability to influence perhaps it may be different for each person as we all have areas in which we have discovered and are a part of our lives and then there are areas in which we desire to obtain within our own pathways of life. Influence is something which I find that we all have within our own areas. We don't just begin something without some consideration. I find that there is an adjustment or change which we make given that there is something which inspires myself. I am not sure about you but this falls into that category of heroes and those which encourage. It’s something which inspires. And I do believe that people at any age can make a change or grab onto something new which gives some good meaning within life. We never had the intention nor that thought process of I don't wish to have good things or I wish to do nothing and let life pass me by. It's not within the nature of anyone unless they have had a frontal lobatomy. The manner of what brings one joy is within their own mindset. Look at the Dali Lama and ironically he has literally proved the power of shifting the mindset. As well, there is a Japanese man by the name of Kochie Tohei whom proved how powerful the mind is. Some years back was hooked up with machines which were observing if in fact do some of the things which he had claimed within his book called, Aikido in Daily Life. One test was to verify some of his thoughts on the power of the mind, soul and body. This included this test regarding his ability to change the rhythm of his heart upon his own decision. Within a period of ten minutes he was able to change the pace of his heart beat five times. Now that does say something with regards to how we have the power to shape things from how we look at things. But for every action not only is there a reaction but there is a synapse of a million within the brain.
Thoughts and actions are like stones dropped into still waters, causing ripples to spread and expand as they move outward. The impact you have on the world is greater than you could ever imagine, as most predominantly we are that of who are the editors or producers of our own lives. I find that we are the host of producing our own thread of how I see and understand life. How the movie starts and ends is that of my own making within creation. The momentum of your influence will grow as your ripples moves onward and outward. One of those ripples could become a tidal wave of love and kindness.
I do see ripples of influence - both of good and of evil - in this world. And pray that the good will travel further, influencing more and continuing to grow.
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful Jack ...

ReplyDeleteGod's blessings. tight hugs.
A very good write. I agree, Life is a personal choice . what we do does make a ripple in the universe.
ReplyDeleteWe do have influence on the world around us and perhaps even further, for as you say, love and kindness, the good that we do ripples out, radiating, but when we do evil, it ricochets and can fall upon the innocent.
