Drops that gather one by one finally become a sea. ~ Persian Proverb
All too often we get so caught up in our everyday whirlwind of busyness on whats mostly very self serving activities …. making money. We tend to lose focus on how our actions impact other in the long run.
I’m no different and once in a while I receive a wake up call. So today I want to be a little less self serving ( I said a little not entirely ) and offer a piece of who I am at heart… after all, “who knows what would transpire if all people would speak the truth? It has never been tried….” Ernest Holms.
I’ve asked this question many times while I was growing up ” What if everyone did this or thought this way? It was a bi9t of a litmus test for my actions, it allowed be to see the greater impact my actions would have in the larger world. If some action or thought multiplied would it be harmful or beneficial, then I had to seriously consider if that was a productive, or negative course of action. It was my way of not minimizing my actions and their impact as a whole.
We have so many opportunities n to change the world by simply changing our own actions and thinkiing. Once one person ran a four minute mile, then, eventually, any good runner could achieve and surpass that mile stone. Once the barrier in mind was removed, what was once unachievable by anyone now became achievable by many.
Similarly, our actions have the ability to spread. I have noticed that if I am in public and take action, such as helping someone in need or picking up litter, I often see my nact
ions followed by others taking the same action.
We are like the drop of water in the Persian proverb above. When we lift up our consciousness, when our sights are raised higher, we create the catalyst for expansion in those around us.
Ok, here comes the self serving part…. My web site offers several ways we each can make an impact on our environment, by helping to reduce the carbon footprint we leave behind from energy production. By making and installing our own renewable energy systems such as solar panel systems or a wind power generator, we can effectively reduce the carbon left behind by the major power companies. As I said a above…One drop of water at a time can eventually make a sea. Your neighbors see what your about, and one or two of those copy you is all the difference in making the oportunity we have been given to brighten our environment a little at a time.
