At first glance it seems to state the obvious: “Every choice a person makes takes them somewhere.” This has been rattling around in my gray matter since it was first read a couple of days ago ... “Every choice?” It seems obvious, but we often miss the full impact of its reality.
So many of our “choices” seem so mundane, so inconsequential just how can they really effect ones destination? Contemplating the various “choices” each of us make during the course of our daily existence I then remembered an illustration taken from the field of quantum physics.
Quantum physics asked the question: Does the movement of a butterfly’s wings in Japan affect the air around us in Florida? Through a rather complicated formula the scientists have proven that the effect is immediate. Truly we live in a complicated and marvelous world.
The conclusion is that no matter what our “choices” might be there is an immediate effect on the quality of our life and the life of everyone and everything in the world. Like it or not we are linked together. The “choices” we make not only “takes” us somewhere, but they directly affect the world in which we live … even on the other side of the planet! That’s the full impact!
The Bible asks, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” And the answer is, “You betcha!”
Quote for today: “Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next (person) down the line and get (them) to inspire (his/her) people.” Lee Iacocca
