The Power of Influence
Do you know how much POWER your influence has? I went to the dermatologist this week, and was once again reminded of the influence I have on others. As I reflect on the conversation I had with my doctor and the genuine comments she made about me, I can’t help thinking about just how much all women influence others more than we may realize.
I may not have a big following just yet, but honestly, don’t we all influence those around us in some way?
We have those who look to us for inspiration in how we dress, fix our hair or makeup, how we walk and carry ourselves. But not only that, people watch our attitude! Have you thought about that? How you greet (or don’t greet) others, the small talk with a cashier or other people waiting in line. Do you take the time to help others reach an item on a high shelf, or are you in such a hurry that you don’t have time for others?
Oh yes, we all influence others in many ways!
And if you have raised children, you know the influence you have on them! Good or bad, they absorb it all. What we choose to do and say each and every day impacts others in some way.
People are observing you every day and YOU can have a HUGE influence on THEM.
What message are you sending out? Is it one you would be proud of or one you might be ashamed of?
I think we need to be more aware of what message we are sending others!
Have a fabulous week my friends!

Let’s Talk…..What Are You Passionate About?
PASSION, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is an intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction, OR a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept. Are you passionate about something? Just think of the INFLUENCE someone can have because of their own personal passion for something.
So WHAT are you passionate about? What is it that brings you JOY and fulfillment?
I think Jon Bon Jovi says it the best: “Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, BE PASSIONATE.”
Let’s Talk… Who Are You?
Have you ever thought to yourself “Who am I?” I know I sure have MANY times over the years. I have always had this unspoken FEELING of not fitting into everyone’s mold of who I should be. I have always FELT out-of-place. Do you know what I mean? And now I think that’s because I never felt like I could be…..ME! Maybe because I have never REALLY known who I was, just who people expect me to be. So who are YOU? Think about it. Take a good LONG delve into what you think about yourself and who YOU are or want to be. Not what or who someone else wants or expects you to be. Find out who you really are and EMBRACE it! The power is yours for the taking. TAKE IT!
