I recently heard a math teacher discuss a mathematical term called the radius.
She explained that in mathematics that word refers to the distance between the center of a point to the outside of a circle. She then correlated that word with her love for the word radiate because of the correlation. The root of both radius and radiate is: Radi(o): Spoke of a wheel, beam of light, ray. Each of us are constantly radiating and we have a radius of influence (those we come in to contact with, no matter the forum). We all have things in life that come up regularly that are challenging. Most often, they are unanticipated. If they occur that frequently though, it stands to reason we can expect difficult things to come. So why do we choose to label them "difficult things" instead of just "things?" The attitude we adopt influences our manner of being and in turn, what we radiate. When we instead choose to focus on the things in life we can be grateful for, it changes our perspective, in addition (see what I did there?) to what we radiate. If you don't see something right away, that's okay! It takes practice, but I promise it's there. Choose to be grateful. Choose to experience life. And let the energy you exude influence someone within your radius for good. All you need is already within you to get started. Be happy. Be you!
