Whose influence are you under?

FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW

We are all influenced by the people around us. They evoke emotions within us, they teach us, they can provoke us, and if we're honest, they can also encourage and empower us or they can lead us down the wrong paths.

Whether we admit it or not or like it or not, we are all influenced by lots of different people and things. We remember what a teacher said, what a friend or family member said to us or about us, the review our boss gave us, we sing along with lyrics in songs, we watch TV shows, movies and videos, listen to podcasts, and on and on.

The things we see and hear evoke emotions in us. A mean comment by a family member can hurt us deeply causing us to withdraw. A friend, neighbor or co-worker gossiping about us can hurt causing us to lose trust in others. A teacher complimenting us in front of all the other students can make us feel great. You get the point. We are influenced, for good or bad, by all of the people in our lives (real and virtual through media, books, etc.).

Good influence can move us toward a fulfilling life. Bad influence can move us toward destruction.

So whose influence are YOU under? Have you changed your way of thinking or the things that you do because of the good (or bad) influence of someone? Influence can be a good thing if you are being influenced by people of good character. It can be a devastating thing if you are being influenced by people who are on the wrong path. In this episode we talk about the distinction between being informed and being influenced. Most importantly, we talk about the most important influence for finding and living our purpose.

The key to real success and the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things is LIVING YOUR PURPOSE. So please subscribe, share and listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.
