Ripple Effect

March 29, 2008 on 11:48 pm | In Attitude |

Do you know what happens when you change and become a happy person.  And I mean not happy on the outside, just making others believe that you are happy, but really happy inside. It becomes contagious! When you radiate your happiness around, it changes everything and everybody. It has a ripple effect. You affect everything and everyone around you. Here it is an example.
 

I have the pleasure to know a very special man, named Bill. He is a truck driver. When he met me for the first time, he was frustrated about the situation he had at work. As he described it, everyone was very negative, there was a lot of animosity between the workers. Basically everyone was for himself. As he started to change and become a new person things started to change in his life. As he grew happier, the better his workplace became. His new outlook on himself and the world changed the entire group of people he works with. From everyone being for himself they became a team, helping each other whenever needed. In the month of March, which is always the worst month of the year, because of the spring break, last year that group had 17 accidents, some of them serious. This March there were only 2 accidents, and they were minor ones. The management is thrilled, people are happier and safer, the depot is a great place to work. It is amazing and wonderful how one person with the right outlook on life can change so many other lives. Good for you, Bill! You are a very special,  “Totally Unique Individual”.
Become one of those “Totally Unique Individuals” and create your own ripple effect.

  1. I love the ripple effect. I have experienced this too. As I grow happier each day I get better results from everyone around me. I make new friends easily because everyone enjoys being around a happy person. I give compliments to strangers with no agenda, just because it makes me feel good to say something nice. Then they feel happy because a random person said something kind to them. Hopefully, they are passing that along to someone they know too.
    How great to create a wave of happiness!
