You Are An Influencer!

We are constantly exposed to external influences. These influences determine how we influence ourselves. Because in the end, the influence of thoughts and deeds is only by yourself. Being influenced AND influencing happens unconsciously until you understand that your own thoughts do not just happen but can be controlled.

I am free to choose my own thoughts at any time. Thoughts that influence me positively and thereby strengthen me, thoughts that lift me out of the energy of the problem to the energy level of the solution. That insight also strengthens us because it makes us independent. No one has to make their inner happiness dependent on any external circumstances. Happiness can never be found with this. But if we choose happiness despite all adversities, then we will never be without it.

Happiness is part of the being that we are. With an attitude that corresponds to the nature of this being, we nourish it and promote its vitality. Physically and emotionally, we are thus able to overcome difficulties better or not to make many things a problem in the first place. We become observers, go with the flow, and accept what is, but also know that we can influence what is becoming. Even moments of sadness don’t mean that we have lost our happiness. Happiness is an inner concept that accepts sad emotions. But it will be the strong root that keeps us standing upright and withstand any storm and earthquake.

Eventually, no one has the power to tell you what to think or feel – unless you accept. Happiness is an inside job. Just let your smile work. In the best case, it contributes to the improvement of the world. While in the worst case, it secures your own happiness.

Be aware that you are an influencer.
And the person you are influencing the most… is you!

In Love and Light

Allowing love and kindness to be the rpicenter of my belief system and behaviors is something that I start and end my day with. If more of us did things in a living manner, wow….imagine where our world would be🥰🥰🥰
Your post here is a beautiful reminder of ❤ and a fabulous way to kick off a Monday 🎆

I coulen’t agree more, Maria. The awareness of consciously choosing our thoughts for the results we want to create would change the world in an instant. We are not the victims of our thoughts, we are their creators 💖🙏💖

Happiness starts internally and shouldn’t be based on outside influences or feelings. As you said we can control what we think and we can choose an attitude of happiness regardless. A very good post for today and the week. Have a blessed one.

Right, as long as we make anything (like happiness, or other emotions, or circumstances) depending on outside influence we will never ever arrive, where we want to. That is the secret of successful people. Thank you, Sylvester.

Very good Post Erika. It keeps coming back to us making choices doesn’t it. Everything in life is subject to us making choices. Even “to do nothing” is a choice. Where many people balk at that concept is because with choices comes consequences. It is so much easier to lay blame than to accept responsibility, but the main person they are hurting by playing “The Blame Game” … is themselves.

I can remember a staff member explaining that the traffic made her repeatedly late! We had an interesting discussion about how laying blame is delegating responsibility, and “traffic” cannot take responsibility for her timing. She could have listened to traffic reports, and chosen to allow some additional travel time.

I love to hear “She made me so mad”; “This weather is depressing”; “Mondays are always a drag.” etc. etc. as it invites a conversation about choices and, in the context of your Post, stresses the value of what we say to ourselves … how we influence ourselves. Again … great Post 🙂

Yes, that is exactly the point. These all are destructive affirmations we are feeding our minds with. How can people expect great things when they convince themselves why they cannot happen by finding reasons over reasons, instead of finding reasons why they can? In the end, it is only the fear of living with the (unknown) consequences – as you said. And in making themselves believe that it is not in their responsibility they don’t need to make a single step.
However we feel, however we think, if we start or don’t start somthing, it is the decision of the individual. Yes, it always comes down to making choices! Whether I smile or not, is a choice!
Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Colin!

Erika, well said my friend. Your banner quotes accentuate your message. I love this phrase you wrote the most as it reminds me of a friend I just quoted.

“Eventually, no one has the power to tell you what to think or feel – unless you accept.”

My friend was a high school guidance counselor and she would tell the kids “don’t cede your power to others. If you don’t take offense, then you are not offended.” I had just written her thoughts on a post about hate speech, but it also applies to not letting people bring you down as well.

An old friend told me when he turned fifty, he began to realize he needed to stop suffering fools and lessen interactions with those who try to bring you down. In others spend more time with those who will lift your spirit not drag it down. Keith

I love both of episodes you shared. What you said in the first one reminds me of the story of a spiritual teacher who was asked by a student why he did not react to an offensive behavior of someone. The teacher said: “If someone gives you a present but you don’t take it, to whom does the present belong?”
It is a choice to only take what we can agree with and that we decide with what kind of people we will spend our time.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts in this comment, Keith!

Beautifully spoken dear lady, now all I have to do is find how they’re sticking that smile inside the chocolate. Now there is an influencer and a half. As soon as I taste one a smile just springs across my face. As soon as I offer it to someone else…they smile. Even just speaking about it makes everyone smile. In fact, I bet you even have one now 😂 🤣
This chocolate is powerful stuff. I bet I could take it to government meetings and crack them a smile. Hey, now there’s another idea, how about I disguise it as toothpaste and sell it around the world. There would be so many peace deals and shiny smiles in a fortnight than in all the last 200 years 😂 🤣
Great post Ericka, may the power of your inner peace deals be built on that other profound influencer, that self love in your heart 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
