RIPPLING, BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Tuesday Aug. 20, 2019
 
What miniscule actions might we do, or do differently, which add depth and artistry to life – might bestow added worth to our enterprises and personality?

Little bites to chew on, not random ones, precise ones – now imagine each component differently.

Take a little action to change, start with morning, tweak routines – take fewer steps. Smaller bursts of energy. Eliminate unnecessary steps/seconds/tasks.

If you save 5 minutes daily, that’s a full day every year. Save 10 minutes, gain two days. Save an hour, an extra day every month.

Consider butterscotch ripples. Check out a bucket of butterscotch ripple. You could not install it, or remove it surgically, but there it is, metaphor for so many elements of our lives – intertwined in everything we are, in every part of our life and inseparable from all the other parts.
