3 POSSIBLE WAYS YOU CAN BE INFLUENCED
If you’re yet to discover ways you can be influenced, these 3 possible ways will help you realize the power of influence. In these very simple, daily activities, lie the power influence wields.
1. What you hear
What do you hear with your ears? The first way you can be influenced is by what you hear. You must be careful what you allow into your ears. Whatever you hear gets to your heart. And the moment you conceive it (whether good or bad), it yields its fruit.
So, be careful of friends you keep, what you allow into your heart by what you hear with your ears. Influence is powerful.
2. What you see
What do you see with your eyes? Famous speaker Jay Shetty said in one of his speeches, “you can’t be what you can’t see.” I agree with him.
What you see creates thoughts within your heart. It leads you to imagine or try experimenting. After a little while, you’ll act.
So, be smart. Watch what you watch. Guard your eyes and keep your imaginations positive all the time. You choose to be influenced – positively or negatively.
3. What you do
What do you do with your time? What takes your moment? The power of influence is transitional - what you eventually do will be a product of what you always hear and watch.
So, if you hear and watch the right things, you’ll do the right things.
Same way, if you hear and watch the wrong things, you’ll do the wrong things. Such is how powerful influence is.
