Actions
Everything has an effect:
Sow a thought, reap an action. Sow an action, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny.
– Ancient Chinese Proverb
No thought or action is without results.

As the effects of our actions spread into the world like ripples through a pond – it’s entirely up to us what kind of ripples we want to spread out into the world and what world we want to create through our actions. Do we want the world to become more selfish/self-centred or more altruistc?

Be generous and you will be prosperous. Help others and you will be helped.
– Proverbs 11, 25
If you think only of yourself, if you forget the rights and well-being of others, or, worse still, if you exploit others, ultimately you will lose. You will have no friends who will show concern for your well-being. Moreover, if a tragedy befalls you, instead of feeling concerned, others might even secretly rejoice. By contrast, if an individual is compassionate and altruistic, and has the interests of others in mind, then irrespective of whether that person knows a lot of people, wherever that person moves, he or she will immediately make friends. And when that person faces a tragedy, there will be plenty of people who will come to help.
– Tenzin Gyatso, The Dalai Lama
Treat people well, and people are likely to treat you well in return. Live out your life with good, positive intentions, and people & life are likely to come back at you in a positive manner. Treat people badly, and well, sooner or later the quality of your life will pay the price.
