Daily Ep 12 | Your Influence Matters

Hey Friend,
Today I want you to think about the places you go everyday. Do you go to school? Do you go to work? Do you go to community places, like church? What friends do you hang out with? Where are you online? Who do you encounter? And then think about the people. Think about the people at those places. The sports teams that you're on, those who are younger than you, those who are older than you. Do you see their faces? These are the places where you have influence. These are the places where your story and your life rubs up against someone else's. You know, everyone has hard parts in their story. Everyone struggles with who they are. It's the nature of life. It's part of the journey in finding out who we are and how we add value to the world around us. We get to help each other on this journey. So as you're becoming more aware of yourself and more compassionate with yourself you also get to spread that to the places where you exist. How can you be more aware of the people around you? Maybe their joys, their pains, their questions, their struggles. Can you create safe space for others? Can you picture those people? How can you be an encourager today? How can promote authenticity in the places you show up? This is where connection happens. Where connection happens, community happens. And where community happens, change happens. Change for the good. You can be a part of that. You ARE a part of that. Your story matters in the places where you have influence today. 

I'll see you tomorrow.
