SOUL SUSTENANCE 15-07-2024
Start Influencing,
Stop Controlling
Whenever we complain
about someone not being our way, we essentially imply that if we could control
them, we could have guaranteed right results. The truth is we cannot control
anyone, but we can influence literally everyone. Control radiates dominance,
influence radiates care. Do you live with or work with someone who uses control
tactics to change you? Have you also met people who have inspired you to change,
just by being who they are? Let us accept that people will not be our way. Maybe
they see nothing wrong with themselves, or they disagree with us, or they don’t
want to change. Exerting control or pressurizing people to change their habits
or behaviors is never a solution. If we do that, people repel us, leaving no
chance for them to listen to us. Our sphere of control owing to position,
seniority or role is limited. But our sphere of influence through our
personality is infinite. When we consistently live the right way and when we
consistently bless them instead of feeling irritated about them, our vibrations
radiate to them. Our pure energy empowers and influences them to change. Start
connecting with people with acceptance and respect for who they are. Remind
yourself daily - I am a powerful being. People can be their way. I remain my
way, the right way and influence them. Letting people be their way, I influence
their habits and behaviors with my perfection and pure intention.
Look to control yourself and influence others. Bring your cheerful energy into
every interaction. Listen to others, intuitively understand others, highlight
their potential, give them a sense of purpose, guide them to achieve their
goals. Being naturally motivated and wise, inspire everyone to bring out their
best, appreciate and celebrate their success. Even if they fail to listen to you
or fail to achieve, guide them and encourage them to try again. Lead by example.
If someone is not your way, do not get disturbed. Empathize and influence them
with your stability and unconditional acceptance.
Message for the day
To check
regularly means to bring about a change.
Expression:
When there is any negative action performed, there is an immediate feeling of
guilt and a desire not to perform it again. But the checking also needs to be at
a level where it never repeats again. Maintaining a chart of one's own weakness
means checking regularly. Such checking brings about a permanent change.
Experience:
When I am able to maintain a chart where I could monitor my own progress, I am
able to remain committed to my transformation. Adverse situations or people will
never deter me, but I am able to bring about the desired change. I am able to
continue the process of transformation even when what I seek to change is not
harmful in the present phase of my life. Thus regular checking will prevent
carelessness from creeping in.
