Daily Question, September 25

Can I commit to living today with the knowledge that all that I do has an impact on the world?

  • sunnypatti

    Absolutely! Everything is energy, and we are all connected. I learned some time ago the impact we all have on this world, and know the impact I have with my own thoughts and actions. One little ripple can make a big difference! I don’t always remember this, but I do always try to remember to be mindful and practice what I preach.

    It’s a huge responsibility but I’m up for the challenge! Keeping this truth at the forefront helps guide my day. Every decision I make has a consequence & it’s important for me to remember that & to invest in living my life with intention.

  • Carla

    As I reflect on the life of public service by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I see how the actions of one woman, small in stature, rippled to thousands+ women, children & men. It’s ok I will never have “that” effect. My role in this cosmic dance is different. I AM creating change, beginning with smiling eyes under a mask & all other actions I take.

    My impact to the world may seem to be minimal compared to the numbers of others but I try to focus on the collective contributions I have with others with similar actions. This makes a difference.

    This is a good idea for me as these days I tend to consider myself essentially invisible in the moment to moment sense. I am not as aware as I might be of how I touch the world as I move through my day, and so it is a welcome reminder. Not that I think of myself as lacking in value or better put ‘potential’, as much as a laziness in not treating consciousness as necessarily participatory in and of itself. My thoughts and attitudes ripple out like sound waves doing their part quickening harmo...

    This is a good idea for me as these days I tend to consider myself essentially invisible in the moment to moment sense.

Not that I think of myself as lacking in value or better put ‘potential’, as much as a laziness in not treating consciousness as necessarily participatory in and of itself. My thoughts and attitudes ripple out like sound waves doing their part quickening harmony or dissonance as they go, so it is more strategic if I do that creatively.

    Sure, I can, and already do, commit to this. That’s the easy part! Then what?

  • Lioness

    It took me a while to think about this but then I realise, what I do today will have an impact. No matter how small or insignificant I think something that I do is, it will impact more than just me and that will ripple out. It may not spread to the whole world but any small contribution will help and it’s all about the small things having a greater impact as the become bigger and bigger through others too.
