What goes around, comes around ...

We reap what we sow (Creating Love and Joy, inside front cover).”

When we truly believe that “what goes around, comes around,” we begin to pay more attention to our own thoughts, actions, and feelings. We realize our thoughts and actions have a ripple effect. Like the water rings that form when a stone is tossed into a lake, our thoughts, actions, and feelings form concentric rings around us, creating all that we have, do, think, feel, and experience. In today’s world of distractions, noise, demands, and pressures, our challenge is to remain focused on this particular moment so that we can continuously create from a place of calm, wisdom, and intuition. Instead of rushing from one thing to the next, without really focusing on the moment, we slow down and pay attention to the task at hand. We begin to accomplish the same things in a different way.

Slowing down does not mean we get less done. Many times, we actually get more accomplished when we fully concentrate. When we are “multi-tasking,” our thoughts are flitting back and forth very rapidly from one thing to the next. The conscious mind does not focus on two things at once: it only focuses on one, and then switches to the next. The amount of attention we give to each task is actually less than what it might be if we concentrate on one thing at a time. (Stack, LM. 2003. “Multi-taking is counterproductive: shifting mental gears downshifts productivity.” Celebrations Presentations: TheProductivityPro.com.)

For this reason, we are better off starting and completing one task at a time. We may not finish the entire project, but we can complete more on that project when we concentrate our efforts. This also gives us a change to ensure that the ripple effect caused by our thoughts, feelings, and actions remains calm and peaceful. When we put harmonious energy out into the universe, harmonious energy comes back to us.
