Do tough times bring out the best in you, or does stress make you a little cranky? Either way, chances are good that the people around you - at work, home, or in your community - are influenced by how you handle yourself in difficult times.
Are you wondering if you really have that much influence? You probably have more than you realize! Unless you live tucked away in a cave, your attitude, actions, and energy create a chain reaction with others around you. It's like sending a pebble skipping over a pond. The pebble doesn't reach the other side, but the ripples do.
Here's a quick exercise
to illustrate this point
Draw a circle on a piece of paper. Make it large enough to write in each of the names of the people you interact with on a regular basis. You can do this for family or for work. We'll call these folks your "#1 wave."
Now draw another, larger circle around the first one. The first circle will be contained in the larger one. In the space between the two circles, note the people who might interact on a regular basis with your #1 Wave people. These become your "#2 Wave" people.
You can even do this a third time, drawing a larger circle around the other two, and filling in the space with the names of the people your #2 Wave folks come into regular contact with.
What you have is an image
of how interconnected you are
to the people around you.
