The idea that everything is purposeful really changes the way you live. To think that everything that you do has a ripple effect, that every word that you speak, every action that you make affects other people and the planet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our life ripples out, and it has influence. That's why it's important that we're at our best and that we're influencing others for the good.
It's not just for its influence on us, but to know that we can play a part in it, to understand the influence that we have outside our own existence.
Everything we do, I'd imagine, influences everything we will do.
Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Yes, I do believe that there is a cause and effect and a ripple effect upon everything everybody does, and they have positive consequences and negative consequences. If you start to focus on the kind of minutia of that, it's really quite extraordinary.
You reach a certain point in your life where they things you do and say do make a difference.
Making something and sending it out into the world and then people not only responding to it but adopting it for their own and making a separate thing for it, that's beautiful. It just shows you how much you can affect other people... the butterfly effect of everything you put out into the world.
Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.
If I'm a phenomenon, it makes me feel like I have no purpose.
