All motive and action affects the
cosmos in some way. The principle of cause and effect is the truth that
allows us to change ourselves and the world around us for the better.
However, this same universal law is also at work when change is not at
the forefront of our minds. Our intentions flow forever outward in the
form of energy, affecting both the people closest to us and the billions
of individuals we will likely never meet. For that reason, we should
strive always to speak, think, and behave with great thoughtfulness and
compassion. The virtues we choose to embody can inspire joy and integrity
in the lives of countless people, whether we touch their existence
directly or not.
The influence we wield is infinite. In
an effort to internalize our conscious understanding of the nature of
cause and effect, we can never truly know how our thoughts, emotions,
words, or actions will manifest themselves on the larger universal stage
because it is likely that the farthest-reaching effects will fall outside
the range of our perception. We can only look to the guidance of our
conscience, which will help us determine whether each of our choices is
contributing to humanity's illumination or setting the stage for
unintended troubles. When we are in doubt, we need only remember that the
cultivation of altruism inevitably leads to a harvest of goodwill and
grace. Motivated by a sincere desire to spread goodness, we will be
naturally drawn to those choices that will help us express our commitment
to universal well-being.
Nothing you do, however minor or
mundane, is ever exempt from the rules of cause and effect. From the
moment of your birth, you have served as an agent of change, setting
forces beyond your comprehension into motion across the surface of the
Earth and beyond. You can exert conscious control over this
transformative energy simply by examining your intentions and endeavoring
to promote peace, positive energy, and passion in your ideas and actions.
While you may never fully comprehend the extent of your purposefully
heartfelt influence, you can rest assured that it will be universally
felt.
