Do you ever think about
what influences you or how you influence people? I have been thinking
about this lately and realize how much influence is a part of life.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, influence is the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.
Merriam-Webster states influence
is the power to change or affect someone or
something—especially the power to cause changes without directly
forcing those changes to happen.
