The Ripple Effect

[Carol Anne Kincaid~Paradis]

GOOD MORNING 

The Ripple Effect

Try this experiment today. Enter the office with a straight face (not too straight). As you meet others who have a similar kind of straightness on their face, force yourself to smile. Then watch the other person return the smile - perhaps not to the same extent or for so long, or absolutely immediately - but it will return.

This is the absolute and often instant proof of the 'ripple and reflect effect'. You get back whatever you put out. We know this, but we forget, and then wonder why everyone seems to give us a straight face, even a grumpy face, on a regular basis.

Now learn to make the smile more real, deeper, smilier! Where does a real smile begin? From the heart. Can you smile at will from the heart? Why not? You need to find out soon, because you will live an unsmiling life if you don't find out what is stopping your heart reaching your face!

No one else is responsible - there's only you in there! So don't go blaming others if you are not radiating from head and heart. What's blocking it? Take your time. Look in, listen in and see. You'll be surprised. You'll probably laugh. And say, "How silly!"

Are you excited to step into the New Year 2023? The year 2022 was a rollercoaster ride for many, but life goes on, and here we are, all set to restart with a fresh calendar year. Essentially, it is just another new day, but marking a year makes you look back and reflect on the past 12 months of your life, and how they went with all their ups and downs. Celebrating the New Year is definitely a positive way to celebrate life, with a sense of hope for the future.

Sometimes its seems like the World is out of control. I want to fix it, but I can't.Dear Lord, give me the faith to trust you to take care of things out of my control. Amen 

Love and Blessings .
