There are no side effects, only effects

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

Seth Godin said this and it struck me.

There are no side effects, only effects.

There is much discussion that can be had around this idea – with the environment, health, relationships…

I know if I do the work, don’t take shortcuts, be kind and valuable to people, eat and sleep well and exercise, good things will happen.

If I observe the effects, dismissing none as acceptable harmful “side effects”, and continue to make adjustments so I do not get unwanted results,  I will get better, and thus, my world will too.

What “side effects” have you experienced? 

Can you see they are not side effects, but direct effects?
