Making waves

Today I was reminded of something important… Imagine for a moment that you are making waves.
Waves that start with you and spread throughout your surroundings.

These waves are the influence you have on your immediate environment.
Family. Friends. Colleagues. It doesn’t matter. Everyone you meet.

You have an influence. Always! And it’s up to you what you make of it.

Chances are, you’ll set something in motion in your environment. Trigger something.
You change the people around you.

And now imagine that others who have picked up on your momentum are also making waves.

What a wonderful mess.
All this movement. All this change. No one knows where the waves will hit land.

Who would have thought?
I certainly haven’t thought about it for a while.

I don’t have to be bigger, better, and certainly not more powerful.
I am enough. And I am good. Just as I am.

And so are you. You are good!

…We should allow ourselves the thought that we can change something for the better!
Casually. Gently. Without force. Without imposing a lesson on others.

All we have to do is be who we are.
If we lead with love, others will love too.

That’s a beautiful thought, I think.
Comforting, somehow.
