Influences.......what is yours?

Category: Life

Its only been over the last few years that I realized how strongly influential I can be to others around me. I've always been told that I have the ability to be a leader but sometimes I wish I could leave that up to others. I have had multiple people come up to me over the years to tell me how I have affected them personally or someone that they know. I will admit the most of it is in a positive manner but sometimes I can see my own influence directing someone down the wrong path and that is what makes me wish I sometimes did not have the ability to lead or affect someones life. I don't believe it is intended to be a burden to lead or influence but geeze I know I'm not perfect and its kind of scary to think someone may act like me or want to be like me just from being around me and liking me.There was a comment made to me this weekend about a certain influence I had on someone and it was kind of funny but it was also like wow please don't let me steer you in a direction that you may not want for yourself. I know everybody is capable of making their own decisions and facing their own consequences but I don't want anyone facing a consequence because they were influenced by me and chose to do the same as I. I to am influenced but I don't feel as much as some are. I never really have fell into peer pressure hardly at all. Thank God for the strong will and head that he has provided me to have in my life. What is the point of this blog you ask? It is this.........just remember whether young or old the people around you are always listening and most of the time absorbing in your words and your actions. What kind of influence are you leaving on them?
