The Ripple Effect

Summary:

• In the third chapter of Chase the Lion, the main topic is about encounters. We are all one encounter or one move away from fulfilling our inception like destiny.  
• Don't be too quick to judge a blessing or a curse by its cover.  Mismanaged success is the leading cause of failure. Well managed failure is the leading cause of success.
• You need to step out into faith and believe that you can't steal second if your foot is still on first. Take a leap of faith to encounter others with potential that you might help them discover their dream as well as yours. 
• The main plot of this chapter is about the ripple effect; the main topic of this book is about a scripture passage about Benaiah's journey to kill a lion on a snowy day. Benaiah later became King David's head of security(a dream within a dream). The ripple effect comes in when Rahab thousands of years earlier took in Jewish refugees who later spared her life. She was King David's great-great-grandmother. She is also listed in Jesus's Genealogy, the ripple effect she had, had gone across nations and generations. 
• Whether it be subliminal messages, unique encounters or stories you hear, you never know where you will be impacted from therefore creating a ripple effect.

Biggest Takeaway: 

• Inciting incidents come in two basic varieties: things that happen to you that you cannot control and things that you make happen that you can control. Of course, even if something is out of your control, you still control your reaction. You might not be responsible, but you are respons-able. And it's the ability to choose your response that will likely determine your destiny.
