You Have Influence!

Yes, we all have influence. Whether we choose to believe so or not. Someone is going to influenced by you today in either a positive or negative way. The choice is up to you. Don't underestimate the power of the influence you have. You can make a difference in some one's life. It may not show up until later in their life but you can make an impact.

I was thinking about my father who recently made the comment that he hadn't been a very good dad. I begin to think back on the years as I grew up at home with my parents and just how good a father I had. My dad always provided for all of us (mom & 3 children). He provided stability and safety. I never worried about the necessities of life, although dad may have, I never knew it. He worked hard and loved our mother, and after 56 years of marriage they are still in love. When I laid down at night I felt safe. I knew my father was looking out for me. What an influence my dad has had on me. I learned the value of honesty and hard work. Providing a stable home and how to love my wife and children. I made sure that I told him this in a letter recently. Maybe you should do the same for someone in your life that has had a positive influence on you. And don't forget, you are influencing someone today. Make it a positive one.http://www.facebook.com/
