The TRUE RIPPLE EFFECT - You Life Makes a Difference in this World !!

in #life8 years ago

The story is told of a little boy and his older brother playing by the lakeside. Neither of the boys could swim. The younger brother was playing with his plastic boat just near the shore when all of a sudden the wind took it away from his hand and it drifted out to where he could no longer reach it.

The older brother then gets an idea ? He picks up a few rocks and starts tossing them high in the air so that they were landing in the water just beyond the boat. The younger one starts shouting at his brother;" WHAT ARE YOU DOING ? You are trying to sink my boat !!" The older says nothing and just continues tossing the rocks in.

Then suddenly, to the little boy's surprise he sees the boat coming towards him back to shore....

What happened ?

The older brother had created ripple effects on the water which in turn pushed the little plastic boat back to where it belonged, into the boy's hands.

Often in life we see things happen that we don't understand. To us it seems like something is coming against us. Rocks are being thrown to seemingly sink us. But too often those are the very things that end up HELPING US in the long run !
Let us all be thankful for the ripples we see along the way, that end up steering our ship in the right direction !
