In Those Late Night Moments Before You Go To Sleep

I have a bit of a ritual. Each night before I go to sleep I try and spend a few quite moments thinking about the Ripples I have created that day. It is in the quite moments just before I drift off to sleep that my heart grows incredibly warm and I am at peace knowing that somewhere out there I made a difference to someone.

One of the things I most enjoy about Rippling is the impact that I can personally have on someone else. For me there is no greater feeling than to know I played a role in helping someone. And that role doesn't necessarily have to be super huge either. Small works just fine thank you very much!

You see when it comes to Rippling I think the greatest reward is knowing deep down in your own heart that you did something...anything! You took action on behalf of someone other than yourself. Not because of how it would make you look. Not because of what you might get in return. No...you take the action and do whatever it is you do because you know it's the right the thing to do and at the end of the day the score reads favorably on your world contribution column.

I've said it a thousand times and you'll likely hear me say at least another couple of thousand more - the Ripples you create for others may not seem like such a big thing to you in that moment but the impact it can have on someone else could mean the world to them. But in those quite moments alone when your mind finally settles down and lets you start thinking about the impacts you've made that very day, that's when the impact of the Ripples you've created come rushing back to you. The feeling overtakes you and it's hard to keep a smile from spontaneously appearing on your face because you know deep down inside the day you just lived was a good one.

Good Ripplers don't look for payback when it comes to the actions they take on behalf of others. They know, like I know, that the reward comes late at night moments before they fall asleep when a feeling of real peace washes over them and covers them like a warm cotton blanket. They sleep like a baby because they know tomorrow will be another day, another chance to contribute and they've got more Ripples to create.

Ripple On!!!
