There is a voice of reason inside of you that you can listen to or ignore. When you decide to show up for yourself, you must choose to listen to that wisdom. It may come when you are in prayer or in a time of stillness. Learn to listen to yourself.

People have been influencing other people long before the internet was around. Parents, relatives, and siblings affect the people in their family. Religious leaders, teachers, counselors, community lessons, and coaches influence people each day. I'm here to tell you that if you are around a child for any length of time, you influence them.

So what kind of influence are you? I have discovered two basic types of influencers in a child's life. I call them the Primary Influencer and the Secondary Influencer. Both play a critical role, and both are loud in a child's mind

What starts as a thought, moves to a belief and can end up affecting the person you become. The first time I noticed this principal at work in my life was when I was in middle school.  At age 13 going to school seemed pointless. But there was one class that I looked forward to. That was Mr. Marcos’ Health class.
