November 14, 2025: The Ripple Maker

You have a surprising power.

But most folks breeze through a day without realizing what they carry.

What is it? Influence. And you have more of it than you realize.

A quick hello. A small frown. Maybe a laugh in the hallway. Or the tension in a crowded elevator.

Each moment, positive or negative, sends tiny ripples. You shape a room before a single word comes out.

Walk in tired, and the vibe sags. Enter with excitement, and people lean in closer.

Your energy affects everyone and everything around you. Wherever you go, you control the emotional thermostat.

This is your secret superpower for creating change, so try it with the next person you encounter.

Set the mood before the mood sets you.
