Finding Acceptance In Your Limits To Influence
Understanding The One Area You Always Have The Ability To Influence
Here's a Harsh Truth that I Usually Do Not Say Out Loud...
I Believe Most People are Living Life Horribly Wrong.
There.
I Said It.
Often, I Look at How People are Living in Today's World...
And I See that it Causes Harm.
To Themselves.
To Those Around Them.
Even to Greater Levels of Societal Impact.
Most Often this is Unintentionally Done...
Through Extreme Levels of Misguidance and Misinformation that Exists.
But the Negative Impact is Greater than Most Realize.
Sometimes, Even Generationally Harmful.
That's the World I See Today.
Now, I Could Write a List of All the Plagues of Modern Society if I Wanted...
It would be Easily Possible to Dive into the Deep Psychophysiology of What So Many People Get Wrong to Explain Why and How it is Harmful.
But Here's the Better Question...
What Would It Accomplish?
In a World Steeped in False Dichotomies and Ulterior Agendas...
I might be Lucky to have One "Side" Hail my Words as Brave...
While Another "Side" might Hail my Words as Monsterous...
Or Perhaps I'd get Lucky and Get All "Sides" to Hate me Equally...
With Everyone Taking What I Say Completely Out of Context...
Unless the Algorithms Deem My Words "Too Meddlesome" to their Overlords' Techno-Tyrannical Rule, and so they Hide My Words Altogether.
But What Would It Fail to Do?
Create Change.
Why?
I have Limitations to My Influence.
We All Do.
It is Not Something Unique to Any Individual.
Everyone has Limitations in Their Influence.
It Does Not Matter that I have Written Nearly 900 Articles for My Work.
It Does Not Matter that I have Received Over 20 Certifications in My Career...
Many of which are Advanced Psychophysiological areas of Expertise which Required Me to Read Hundreds of Scientific Research Papers...
Some of those Individual "Papers" Being Over a Hundred Pages Long.
It Does Not Matter that I have Received Over a Hundred Awards and Nominations for My Work.
None of it Matters to Someone Who is Reading My Words for the First Time.
Sometimes it Does Not Matter to People I've Known for Years.
Even Recently, I have had People Who I have been Friends with for Years Who have Made Decisions that I Know Will Not Benefit Them...
Decisions which I Know Will Cause Them Pain in the Long Term...
But if I Say that To Them, I will Risk Losing All Influence with Them.
As Painful as It May Feel...
There are Many Times in Life when You Will Not Have the Influence to Help People.
Could You "In Theory" Help Them?
Absolutely.
But Could You "Without" Influence?
No.
In Fact, Attempting to Help Without Influence will Likely Backfire and Only "Push" Them Further Away Toward the Problem...
While Cutting the Line to Something Better in the Future.
It Becomes a Situation of "Winning The Battle, But Losing The War".
Yes, Perhaps You Stood Strongly in Your Beliefs...
But It Only Caused More Pain and Suffering in the End.
That is Not a True Victory.
That is a Self-Serving, Egotistical Way to Live Life...
Which Accomplishes Nothing at the End of the Day.
There are Points in Life where You Must Come to Terms with Reality...
You Have Not Earned The Right To Influence.
Yes...
Influence is Something that is "Earned"...
Individual to Individual.
You May be able to get "Temporary" Second-Hand Influence...
Which, I've Seen Many "Successful" People on Social Media Attain...
But If You Fail to Earn that Influence Directly...
You'll Lose "All" Influence Quickly.
I have Watched Many of those "Successful" People on Social Media Disappear Overnight...
Some who Utilize Cult-Like Tactics to Emotionally Abuse their "Followers" into Staying...
Then, a Few Who have to be Constantly Looking for "New Converts" as they Lose Influence with Those They have Failed to Help in the Long Term.
But the Problem in All of These is that You're Failing to Build True, Lasting Influence...
And Eventually these "Kingdoms" Built in Swamps become Consumed in the Filthy Problems they Produce.
While Simultaneously...
Not Creating Any Real Impact.
All because they Failed to Gain True Influence.
Without Influence, You Cannot Truly Guide People to Better Lives.
What this Means is that there Will be Times in Your Life...
Perhaps Many, Many Times...
Where You Will Be Forced to Lose the Battle if You Hope to Win the War.
You Will See the Problem...
You Will See How Much Pain It Will Cause...
But You Will have to Stand and Accept that Your Current Influence Will Not Change that Outcome.
You Will have to Accept the Limitations of Your Influence.
Now...
Here's What You Must Understand...
If You Want the Opportunity to Win the War...
To Help People in the Long Term...
To Make Real Impact in People's Lives...
You Must Create Real Influence...
But How Do You Do This?
By Utilizing the One Area that We Always Have the Ability to Influence...
Through Loving People.
Influence is Not Built on Hatred and Pain and Anger.
These Tools Only Create Further Divides that Prevent Progress and Encourage More Problems.
No...
It is Only through Love where We Earn the Right to Influence in the Long Term.
It Requires Us to Accept People as Humans...
Flawed...
Imperfect...
But Seeking Toward Something Better.
It Requires Us to sometimes Watch People Fall and Fail...
But Being Ready to Provide a Hand to Encourage and Help Pick Back Up.
Sometimes it Requires Us to Accept that "We" May Not have the Influence to Change their Minds...
But that by Staying True to Deep Love...
That One Day...
They May Find Their Own Path to the Truth...
With or Without Your Direct Guidance...
But Always having Had You as a Positive Example of What is Possible when You Live Well.
Often, Influence is Attained Not by Directing Others...
But Revealing The Truth Through How We Live Our Own Lives.
Through Love.
If You Truly Want to Expand the Limits of Your Influence...
Discover How to Love Others More Powerfully.

How?
How Do We Go About “Doing” This?
It is Easy to “Say” Love…
But What Goes Into That?
Especially in a World that Fundamentally and Frequently Fails to Understand or Show True Love.
Even when their Banners and Books Claim to Be “All” About “Love”.
I have Seen the Failures from Religious to Political Movements, and More…
All Failing to Do “Anything” that Can be Considered True Love.
So, How Do We Show Love Truly?
