How Do We Influence Others?

In our daily interactions, we have the power to either uplift or bring down others. The choice we make in our conversations can have a significant impact on the people around us. It is important to be mindful of the words we choose and the messages we convey.

In the context of a recent real estate transaction, as a Realtor, I recognized the importance of staying positive and encouraging my buyer. Buying a home is a big step, especially for first-time buyers, and it is crucial to make them feel at ease and confident in their decision. By providing them with knowledge about home ownership and emphasizing the value of owning a home, I aimed to influence them in a positive way.

The same principle applies to other areas of our lives, both in business and personal dealings. Maya Angelou’s quote, “People will forget what you said and people will forget what you did, but they won’t forget how you made them feel,” resonates strongly here. It reminds us that the impact of our words and actions, particularly the way we make others feel, can leave a lasting impression.

So, let us strive to be a positive influence on others. Let us choose our words carefully, offering encouragement and support rather than negativity. When we uplift and inspire others, they will remember us and our positive influence in a meaningful and lasting way.
