EP117- The Ripple Effect: What impact are you having?
Lets us know your thoughts thru TEXT!
Ever notice how we're quick to compare ourselves to others but rarely consider how our presence affects them?
We're conditioned to constantly think "what's in it for me?" when interacting with others, often subconsciously ranking ourselves against everyone we meet. But what happens when we flip that script and ask instead: "How is my energy, my presence, affecting those who cross my path?" This question transforms not just how we see others, but how we show up in the world ourselves.
Your influence doesn't require verification, follower counts, or external validation. Whether it's inspiring coworkers to make healthier choices without saying a word, or becoming the kind of person your personal web of friends look up to, your daily actions create ripples that touch countless lives. Whether you choose to see it or not!
The words you choose, the energy you bring, and the consistency you demonstrate all contribute to an impact that extends far beyond what you might realize.
This episode challenges you to consider not just who you are, but who you're helping others become through your example. When people observe how you're living your life, are they inspired to become better? Do they question their own paths? The greatest compliment isn't praise for your achievements, but someone changing their life because of who you are.
Listen in and see how small shifts in perspective can help you create a more meaningful life - one where you leave each space and relationship better than you found it.
Your journey of growth inspires more people than you know!

Hello, hello and welcome back everybody to Compounding Daily. I'm your host, miguel Sanchez, and welcome back to another episode, episode 117. How fast is time progressing? We must be mindful that, week by week if you are a fluent listener, I always like to remind myself as the episodes pile up. Those are weeks that are passing me by, and I like to remind myself that it is up to me as an individual to decide how those weeks are going to be used, either for my regression or my progression, a choice that we all get to make.
Speaker 1:And, first and foremost, thank you for being here. I'm always grateful that the community on social media has been growing. People have been listening. The feedback I'm receiving is something that I'm immensely grateful for. So, every episode, as of now and moving forward, I'm sure I'm always going to begin it with expressing gratitude for you, the listener, for being here with me, for allowing me to share my journey, my story, my experiences, always with a simple goal in mind, and the goal is for you to listen, not to compare yourself to me, but in the hopes that you learn from my mistakes, in the hopes that the way in which I'm perceiving my experiences provide you with value and allow you to become better in one way or another. I always say I ask for nothing in return, and the best payment that I can receive is the payment that comes from the confirmation that, because I challenged myself, because I've become better in some way, shape or form, you have now done the same by listening to this, and thank you for all of that.
Speaker 1:Before we get into today's episode, it is a solo episode. It's going to be a short episode. I already know what I want to talk about and it's not a subject that we need to go in depth. It's just a perspective that I want to paint in order for you to just approach the world differently. And before I get into the topic, I always like to remind myself yes, it's Monday morning, yes, it's the beginning of the new week, and yes, it's easy to wake up. Especially this upcoming week is going to be raining a lot, from what I understand.
Speaker 1:So it's easy to wake up on these gloomy days and tell yourself and allow that voice to whisper in your ear of all the things that could be better, should be better. Why aren't they better? I don't want to go to work, I'm tired, I'm sore, I wish I had more money, I wish I was in a different place, and I like to be the reminder that, yes, it's normal to have those thoughts. You are a human being, but what most people don't exercise is also that comes with being part of the human creation, and that is the freedom of choice, and you get to decide how those thoughts are going to influence you. Of choice, and you get to decide how those thoughts are going to influence you, and either they're going to make you better or they're going to make you worse. They're going to paint a picture of beauty and joy or they're going to paint a picture of misery and sorrow. You get to decide. So, yes, it's monday, but how are you going to approach it?
Speaker 1:The attitude, the energy, the thoughts you wish to entertain and the words you choose to speak all have an influence in how you show up. And, with that being said, let's use that as a gateway into today's topic. Today's topic is very simple the perspective that most people don't entertain Most people often think of. Well, what's in it for me, when they come across people, they always at least and I'm speaking from my experience here this is how I used to be Every time I met somebody, I would immediately start comparing myself to them. Am I better than them? Am I doing better than them? And it always stemmed from a place of ego. Very rarely, until I started working on the thoughts I entertain, the way in which I want to experience life. Did I ever entertain the thought of how is my presence impacting the people in my life? Not a perspective many entertain, at least not from what I'm observing as I go around and have my little adventures. How is my energy, my presence, affecting the people who come across me in their path?
Speaker 1:I like to think about these things because it allows me to work on my character a little better. It allows me to understand that, whether I like it or not, there is a perspective of me that's out of my control and that is the perspective that others have of me. But what is in my control is the influence in which how they perceive me. You know how do I carry myself. Am I consistent in my attitude? Am I speaking words of poison or words of joy? Am I having conversations of gossip and drama? Or am I having conversations of gossip and drama or am I having conversations of inspiring thoughts? These things all matter and, to add a little bit more emphasis to it.
Speaker 1:I like to add the people that I care about. When my nephew, when my godson, when my sisters, when my mother, when my best friend with my wife, when these people look at me and see how I am living my life, how do they feel? Are they inspired by my decisions? Are they curious as to how they can become better? Or do they question themselves and maybe entertain a new path, because that is how I choose to live my life? I think about these things and it allows me to make difficult decisions, because we have the blessing where we can place ourselves mentally in somebody else's shoes, and, of course, it's all based off assumptions. But when I put myself in other people's shoes and observe myself, I want to be looking at somebody whom I want to be like. I want somebody that, when I observe myself, I say man, I want to live like that. I want to have purpose behind my life. I want to live with intention. You know again, a perspective that you can choose to entertain and a perspective that I feel has been neglected throughout time.
Speaker 1:Whether you like it or not, you have influence and that influence doesn't need to be verified out loud. You don't need to check mark on social media. Whether you like it or not, you are part of a web, a little community, and it doesn't need to be expansive. But maybe you're part of a group of 10 people, five people, it doesn't matter. What matters is that how you show up is influencing how they show up, and when you begin to change for the better, you'll see that either they grow with you or they stay there and you'll have to outgrow them, and then you begin this wonderful journey, etc. Etc. Etc. But what I'm emphasizing on is that you are having an impact. You don't need to be famous to have influence on people. How you show up, the words you choose to speak matter and, most importantly, you want to make sure that consistently, over time, you are presenting a good character to others. That is how you've influenced others.
Speaker 1:Let me use a real example, something that I dreamed for a long time as I began my journey with overweightness. When I was 289 pounds, I had a vision that one day, my children will look at me and not ask me questions like Dad, why can't you run, dad? Why are you breathing so hard? I don't want to have those questions. Instead, I want to have the questions of like Dad. You're strong, dad. Why are you always lifting things up and blah blah? Do you understand the picture? It's how I show up to them and, of course, at the moment I'm not a father, but I've been blessed with wonderful nephews, one of them being my godson, and time and time again, as they observe me being so young and kids being young, they're like sponges. You can't put a price on the feeling that is received when a young individual like that my nephews being four and 10, for them to look at you and say one day I want to be strong like you. One day I want to be like you. That's the biggest compliment and I never allow it to go to the ego, but I allow it to reaffirm that the image I've created for myself in my mind has become a reality and how I show up is influencing others.
Speaker 1:I'll give you another real scenario. Consistently, everywhere I go, you'll see me with my gallon. You'll see me with my gallon, no matter if I'm at work, if I'm in the gym, obviously, if I'm in the car, if I'm in somebody's house, chances are I'm bringing the gallon with me. It's going to be with me the influence that I've had on my co-workers and a lot of job sites that I've been to, have been a very simple one. One day, without me saying anything I'm not preaching anything to anybody at work One day and this has happened multiple times to me I'll see somebody else show up with a gallon and they look at me and they say look what I got. And to me that's like okay, the person I've chosen to become is impacting others in a positive way. They're making better decisions, not because I'm preaching to them, not because I'm forcing it on them, but because I've become it first. First I became somebody whom I've looked up to, whom I've been attracted to, and then I allow my actions and how I show up to hopefully positively impact those that come across my path.
Speaker 1:I have a simple goal in life. I know I'm going to die one day, and I don't know when, but I want to make sure that when that day comes, I at least left the world a better place, and maybe not the entire world Maybe one day, of course, if you dream big enough but even if it's my little community, even if it's just within my family, the goal is just to allow my existence to have better the life of others, and that's very important, so most people always ask what's in it for me. So most people always ask what's in it for me. The right question to ask, in my own opinion, is how am I impacting others when I come across their path? Hopefully, it's in a positive way, and that's all I have to say today.
Speaker 1:Thank you for being here. Show up with a good attitude and remember, whether you want to admit it or not, you are influencing others. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are influencing others. Show up with the right attitude, speak the correct words and you'll slowly become and, most importantly, you'll slowly impact those who come across your path. Thank you for listening and until next time.
