Circles of influence.

We meet with people every day and from the various interaction we have with these people we either take from the people or we give to them.

The different interactions we have daily have a way of influencing our minds and the beauty of life is that we can't stop meeting people.
However, we can control the influence that the people we meet to have over us from time to time.

If you have you never drank beer and you have colleagues in the office always taking of beer it will eventually settle in your heart the need to try it and you may eventually drink beer.
As well as you are in an office where polite words are always spoken you will develop a habit of talking politely.

In our meeting people....

Some speak fear into us: have you ever wondered after talking with some people you become so afraid and you're wondering what's happening to you, it's the influence of the words they have spoken to you?

Some will speak mistrust into us: some people meet some neighbors and have discussion about Men and husbands, that's how they started developing mistrust for their husbands.

Some speak jealousy into us: Until you're regularly feed with other people's success card, you may never have cared about it. It is listening to others that we begin to find out our inadequacy and jealousy creeps in.

Some speak worry into us: for a productive life worry is not needed, however, if your circle of influence always speak worry about economy politics and family if you don't watch it you will soon become someone who gives in to worries.

My question today is what's your circle of influence.

Your circle of influence sometimes determine the quality of your thought pattern as well as your life and even the mental and psychological state of mind.

There is an old traditional proverb that says " show me your friends and I will tell you who you are."

In simple interpretation it means you will look like your circle of influence.

If your circle of influence is full of people who are positive you will become positive and if negatives you become negative.

Keeping a circle of influence that reminds you of the following will be helpful.

You can be the best:

When you're around people who knows you can be the best and challenges you to be the best, you will actually with time become the best in that chosen field that you're are in.

Help you see opportunities: if you belong to a group that sees opportunities instead of problems soon you will begin to see opportunities yourself even when others see problems you will see opportunities.

Help you become optimistic person: There will always be challenges it only depends on attitude towards the challenges you're facing, being optimistic can help turn problems into solution.

Your circle of influence depends on you largely however there are times when you can't seem to choose the people who influences you but you can choose the influence that you're allowing.
