What's your "ripple effect"?

And we're no talking the ripple effect on water...but it contains the
same concept.

The "ripple effect" is a term used in Sociology, and can be observed
how social interactions can affect situations not directly related to
the initial interaction.

The "ripple effect" is basically the spread of behavior within a group.
Whether the behavior is positive, negative, loud or quite...the
behavior spreads throughout the rest of the group.

So in understanding this concept, we can also understand that
maintaining a Great Culture must not rely on the group as a whole, but
the individuals and their positive and caring behavior which causes the
"ripple effect" to result in the Great Culture.

When I was a kid...

All pools weren't concrete and plaster.

I grew up with blowups, metal walled and dough boys, and the game was
to "Blow the water out of the pool", as much as possible, the more the
better.

We did "cannon balls', "watermelons", even the "Pittsburgh plunge" and
an occasional "wagon wheel whip"...and the winner was the one who got
the most people standing around...wet.

Well, time moves on, and I bet this weekend, we can all do what we do best, with our family and friends.

Will it be our mad cooking skills, unparalleled guitar hero genius,
world class card shark abilities, or just our inherent talent of
attempting to hit a golf ball.

Whatever it is, let's plan on getting some folks wet.

Keep at it?

Sure, why not?

We're talking about doing what we do, whatever we do, while helping others out.

We are just doing our part, in planting seeds, that's all.

We can't plant seeds and expect a harvest tomorrow, and it makes no sense to dig them up to make sure the seeds are still there.

We simply plant seeds, and continue planting...and over time...we will
be able to see more beauty in our future than there was in our past.

Not much to it, we don't have to water, give them sunshine or pulls weeds, so why not?

Give me some water!

Our bodies are mostly water and we should really replace about 2.4
liters of water through drinking and the foods we eat, or take your
body weight, cut it in half and that's the amount of ounces daily, of fluid intake recommended.

But many of us follow this daily program:

Breakfast: Coffee (diuretic - which usually gets rid of more fluid than
is consumed), and toast or a bagel.

Lunch: Soda (diuretic) and a sandwich.

Dinner: - Wine or alcohol (diuretic) and meat and potatoes.

Where is the water?? In practice, I found
the less water one drank - the more health challenges they had, with
virtually no exceptions.

We would all like to get...

Healthier overnight, but it doesn't work that way

By making healthier choices in our daily routine with regards to food
and water intake, along with choices that will get our body moving a
bit more than before, is really all that is needed to become healthier
over time.

You see, our body is continually being built by replacing cells in all
parts of our body, as a matter of fact, virtually every cell is
replaced within a year and most, even sooner. You are basically in a
body that doesn't have the same cells it had a last year.

So by making healthier choices today, you will be building and
replacing your body with healthier cells in the future.

The seed of Greatness...

Is in us all.

What comes of our seed of Greatness is how we "water" it.

We can "water" it by giving, positive thinking and doing, helping
others, being a mentor, making the right choices and more of the same,
which brings out the finest growth of any seed.

Or we can water it with selfishness, negative thinking and doing,
taking from others, being a poor role model, making poor choices and
more of the same, which will produce a withered weed, with no sense of
reason.
