Who influences your world?
Everyone you meet influences you. - Criticism from a colleague can ruin your day. - A smile from a stranger can make your day. The influence of others on our lives is enormous. But don't let yourself be influenced too much. If you always do what someone else wants, you never do what you want yourself. The more self-confidence, the less you let others influence you. If you don't follow your own path, you follow someone else's path. And is it going to your goal? Jump in the water! If someone says to you: "Jump in the water", you think: "Check it out, I'm not crazy!" But often the influence of others is much more subtle. They might say, "Dip your toe in the water. Now your foot. And now your leg..." Before you know it you are under water. While you didn't want that at all! How do you avoid being influenced? Just be aware of it. Think about everything: "Do I really want to go this way? Does this feel right for me?" Always rely on your own strength. No one can influence you if you don't want to. No one can make you negative, angry, or dominate you. Only if you allow it. Distance yourself from the people you don't feel comfortable with. Get rid of ideas that don't support you. Make your own choice. Only you know what you really want :) Do what you like and don't please others, otherwise you will never reach your goals in life.
