Influence

Like it or not, we influence other people around us. Even if you are a hermit, you are having an effect by the lack of your presence in the lives of people who know you and care about you. You have an influence in your own little circle, but it goes beyond that because the people you touch, go on to affect others. A ripple.

What will it be then? Will I be an inspiration, or a cautionary tale? At different times in my life (maybe even at different times on any given day?) I have been both. Being around a positive person can energize, and a negative person can suck you dry.

It is good to be mindful of how we impact those around us. It might surprise you to know how much of an affect you have.
