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. (Daily OM)
