Sometimes all it takes to influence others is presence.
We think that the best influencers are the ones who give passionate speeches that are heard around the world.
But sometimes influence doesn’t even require our voice. Sometimes it simply requires our faithful, steady commitment to being there.
An island changes the way the water flows around it. Just because it’s there and it isn’t moving, it has an impact on ships that encounter it.
Obviously, there are times for us to speak and do influential things, but it’s far more important for us to be influential.
[Tweet “When we put our roots down, our influence begins to grow.”]In a world where everything is changing, simply being unmoved will make you different. Stability is attractive to those who are losing their balance, and just like you reach for something secure when you trip, those around you will reach for you when they feel as if they are stumbling.
When we put our roots down, our influence begins to grow.
