Our Wake Effect

foreign [Music] do you leave everybody leaves awake like the ocean right there's waves there's a wake that comes from your actions you do one small thing um and the way a boat moves in the lake or on the water and it creates a ripple effect that wake that we as humans leave from our daily actions can either be really positive or really negative every small action that we take has a ripple effect and a pretty large one Downstream so the question is are we setting off those waves in a way that leads to a positive impact on the world or do we set them off in a way that leads to a negative impact I would bet that every individual who watches this some days leaves a really positive wake and some days leaves a really negative wake I don't think any one person always leaves one or the other however the real question is the majority of your days are you leaving a positive wake or a negative wake right because as we as humans aren't going to do it 100 of the time and how do you know which well to leave a positive wake you have to do small tiny positive actions it's not always about making the most impactful big stated move right it's small things doing something for the person behind you in Starbucks leaving an extra big tip one day and saying thank you making sure to smile at everybody you pass down the hall looking at things with a glass half full and positive outlook versus a negative one um you know figuring out Solutions and throwing out ideas out there instead of complaining um you know versus venting um or making excuses the way in which we respond to different challenges in life if they're positive response the move forward responses yearly being a positive wake and impact in the world um just through small things like I said even a smile simple as a smile or have a great day to someone you don't know can leave to a very positive wake um bad attitude a frown um complaints negativity can do the opposite so my question to you is and even the tiniest things you're doing do you want to leave a positive week today or a negative weight how do you want to Ripple out into the world foreign
