Splash

Sometimes in life things hit us or big moments arrive.

It’s like a big splash in a puddle.

BOOM!

Initially, it’s dramatic, like an explosion of water.

Then it subsides to ripples on the surface, big at first and then gentle ripples that expand out over the puddle.

The thing is the dramatic big splashes get all the headlines, but it’s the gentle ripples in life that matter.

If we don’t do this…

Often, I have heard it and said it myself ‘if we don’t do ‘x’, then ‘y’ will happen’.

It is always negative and amazingly, we always seem to know the outcome before it’s happened!!

Instead, we could choose to focus on ‘if we do ‘b’, then ‘a’ might happen’.

It’s so much more positive and the excitement is not knowing the outcome – ‘might’ rather than ‘will’. You never know, the outcome could be better than we imagined.
