My son asked me if I could be any Super Hero or choose a super attribute which would it be?  He assumed I would say Hulk because he is one of my favorite characters. Who doesn’t like to Smash!

 

Without hesitation, I said, “Influence” and my wife immediately said, “Oh, Dear God, NO”! Of course, my wife is correct. Influence without wisdom becomes a weapon of mass destruction.

 

My point, in this what if scenario my son was playing is influence is so incredibly important and so misused! Most of us are using our influence and no matter who you are or what you do YOU have influence, to fulfill our own selfish desires.

 

In every arena of life, we are using our influence to make life better for ourselves and our families. There is absolutely no problem with this unless that is ALL you are using your influence for.

 

What would happen if you sat down and wrote out all the things you use your influence for? How much of it would be in the YOU column and how much would be in the other people’s column?

 

For most of my life I’ve used my influence to make more money, buy more things, get promoted, build a brand, gain favor, and to move ahead. The majority of what I did was focused on ME.

 

Ten years ago I was called out for not having a bigger vision. A friend of mine told me I would never be really happy or fulfilled using my influence on me and mine. He said influence is a gift to you to use to help change the worlds of those around you.

 

How are you influencing those you work with, work for, your customers, neighbors, friends, and Community?

 

Influence is a Super Hero strength that everyone has, and most of us are misusing!

 

Today, pick one person you will influence for the better. Help them to smile, feel better about themselves, inspire and motivate them.

 

Do this every day and, as you grow, you will graduate to helping to influence groups, businesses, neighborhoods, and even Communities.

 

Your Influence was a gift to you for others. Stop consuming it and start using it!
