"Have You Ever Considered That You Are A Storm? Or Even The Burmuda Triangle?"

The Splashes Of Life
By: Author Unknown

A Sioux Indian story...

My grandfather took me to the fish pond on the farm when I
was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the
water. He told me to watch the circles created by the
stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone
person.

"You may create lots of splashes in your life, but the
waves that come from those splashes will disturb the peace
of all your fellow creatures," he said.

"Remember that you are responsible for what you put in
your circle, and that circle will also touch many other
circles. You will need to live in a way that allows the
good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that
goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or
jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You
are responsible for both."

That was the first time I realized each person creates the
inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We
cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner
conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger. We radiate the feelings
and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or
not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling
out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all
other circles of life.

Remember the eternal wisdom: Whatever you focus on
expands.

  1. That is a very powerful post.

    I have always thought of that saying when it comes to words, it says.

    Watch your thoughts they become words.
    Watch your words they become actions and so ...

    But we are what we think, you have to realise the power each one of us hold.
