exponentially

I come from a large family. I am child number eight out of nine. All of us children are grow now with families of our own. Thus giving my parents 31 grand kids and still counting. If each grandchild would have 3 kids that would produce 93 great grand kids. And if each one of those had only 2 kids the GRAND total would be 186. I think you get the picture! In merely three generations 9 has grown to a staggering 310 people. This is only my side of the family, my husband has 7 siblings!! All of a sudden the concept of family and family relationships expands to include as many people as a small village.

This concept of things that start out small( okay 9 is not so small) and metamorphosing into something far grander was so basic and even boring to me until I applied it to something I could relate too . The simple ripple effect put into action. To take this now profound principle a little deeper, the small acts and choices that I make today could be exponentially much greater in consequence down the road, for better or for worse. This being an "ah ha" moment for me I think I will take the time to consider my present behavior and mindset so I will have the proper idea of how I am effecting my future.
