Influence: Do you
know who influences your life the most? If your answer is those great leaders
who inspired you the most then you are only partially correct. Greater
inspiration does not correlate always to your bigger influence. Of course,
YES!! It has its own influence but there
is something much more at a subtler influence happening in the background of
your life. It is so subtle that you don’t even realise that it is changing the
way you lead the life. So, what is this “something”?
This is nothing but the group of people to whom you spend
most of your time in life. They have the bigger influence on you and they change
the course of your life. The influence happens in smaller doses but on daily
basis. Any success or failure or powerful transformation that you witness in
life is not a sudden shift. It is a gradual process where things are added up
in small doses on regular basis to generate such a dramatic transformation in
you. Many of the readers have seen personally my own transformation &
success story. But, this transformation is no exception but built on the
average of sum of those small doses.
So, your friend’s network is also such a powerful medium
which add up small doses on a daily basis to push you up to the success pattern
or pull you down to the failure zone.
Simple check: If
you don’t believe in the above point then it is time for you to test yourself
to see this in your own life. Just check present status of your life, right
now. Ask some simple questions: What is that I do mostly on day today basis?
What are those repeated activities that I perform on daily basis? Where I spent
most of my time in a day? Whatever I do in my life, do they really mean lot to
me? Am I happy/not happy? Am I successful/not successful in life? Am I enjoying
the life? Am I productive or simply wasting the time of my life?
Just record your answers for the above questions. Now,
compare those with your friend network and check the similarity in the answers.
You will be amazed to see at least 70 to 80% match in the answers.
Do you remember the quote,” You are simply an average of
your close friends”. This is rightfully true!!
Resolution: Practically,
my simple definition of spiritual growth is nothing but to see myself growing
in every dimensions of my life such as the way how I develop my skill, the way
how I built up my wealth & health, the way how I built up my relationships
with people etc. If I do self-comparison of my present state of my life to that
of my life, say three months before & if I see considerable progress in a
positive way then I am moving in the spiritual path. Because I see clearly that
I evolve on day today basis & spiritual development is nothing but
understanding the power of our inbuilt evolutionary energy.
So, make a New Year resolution to put yourself in a positive
evolutionary path for this year. The simplest technique is to scrutinise the
people around you. It is important to handpick at least five of the highly
evolved people & make a conscious choice to dwell with them most of your
time. If you don’t have these sets of evolved people in your network then look
out for them elsewhere. In the worst case scenario, you can have them in the
virtual world like social media, YouTube etc. or read their books, their blogs
etc. Over a period of time magically those people or similar category of people
will appear in your life. This is guaranteed!! It is my promise to you based on
my personal experience.
I did have this similar resolution two years before & if
you see the people in my life now, they are completely a different set of new
people then what I used to have earlier. They help me to evolve & giving a
clear meaning & purpose to my life.
