The Ripple Effect: How One Small Change Can Transform Your Life
from This One Time in Real Estate... · host Mark Gellman
You've heard about the ripple effect...that one decision could change the trajectory of your life. "Life is a series of choices and consequences, you make the choice and experience the consequence." Everything you do has a consequence, either good or bad. Years ago Sarah was participating in a challenge with Bill Pipes. You had to commit to doing a set of things every day in themes of 10. Things like: reading 10 pages of a book, exercising for 10 minutes, 10 affirmations a day, etc. It felt too daunting, like going from standing still to doing a sprinting marathon. Sarah knew before starting that she couldn't commit to that many things all at once, so she chose one thing to commit to every day. She and her husband Matt started walking every morning to start their day and catch up. They've now been doing it for 3 years and it's had a huge ripple effect on their lives. There's the health benefits to starting every day outside in the fresh air and sunshine, but also their relationship is stronger than before. Modern life is chaotic. The life of a real estate agent is chaotic. If you need to make a change, choose one thing to commit to. It's enough. You don't have to make drastic changes. Even the smallest change will have a ripple effect.
