Ripples and Stepping Stones
No matter where you are now in your life, you will realize that you have gone through many realizations or "light bulb moments."
You'll also realize that you have gone through so many changes and transitions, and that what you are now -- how you see yourself and others, what your beliefs are, how you perceive things -- is the result of many years of conscious and unconscious transformations and transitions.
Throughout your life, there are certain events that have happened to you; they are the significant and memorable experiences that have molded you, shaped you, and caused you to think, feel, and be who and what you are now.
Your life is made up of ripples. Imagine you are in a small circle, your first small ripple. As you grow older and experience more things, a bigger ripple encloses your small ripple. Each new thing you experience becomes your ripple and encircles all the other smaller ripples.
Stepping stones are the details that connect your smaller ripples to your bigger ripples. They occupy the space between one ripple and another.
Whereas ripples are the general and significant events in your life, your stepping stones are the ones that provide the details to your ripples. They're the ones you might keep to yourself and forget over time. Or they may be the ones you might pass off as insignificant but they unconsciously contribute to how you become later in life.
If you look at your ripples and stepping stones, you'll see that they provide you with significant moments you can write about in your journal, add to your memoir, or use to create a page in your scrapbook.
Remember:
Ripple - a general event in your life; something that's not too personal if you were to share your list with another person
Stepping stone - a specific, detailed or highly ersonal experience or part of your ripple
