Influencing

Innately, we all crave change. On a grand scale, we seek to change the world and leave an impact. Searching for significance, we look at the grand acts of history. However, we neglect the micro scale at which we can influence others. Fighting our way through throngs of people crowding a street, impatiently waiting to order the complicated Starbucks drink we constantly crave, and interacting with colleagues in the workforce, we come into contact with a plethora of people. Perhaps, we should start there. No great change came out of idle waiting. Instead of claiming we can make no significant change or simply waiting for the opportune moment to come along, we need to take action now. To create change, you start with those around you. By positively influencing others, we empower them to do the same. Truly, we contain greater power and importance than we can fathom.
