Never underestimate the ripple effect of your actions. How you affect others just by being who you are and what you stand for is something you will never know. Everything you say or do has an affect on someone other than yourself. Just as the rocks skipped across the lake, even perceived simple actions create ripples in the lives of people that you love and even in ones you have never met.
As a soldier you are stronger and more skilled than your civilian counterparts. You are a walking, talking billboard for the lifestyle you have chosen. It is a big responsibility, something that I don't always remember.
I'm not trying to point out other peoples ripples, don't get me wrong. I can only control my ripples, that is enough for me to worry about right now. I guess I need to think about the rocks I throw in the pond a little more closely from now on.
