Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 574 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
You have to ask yourself at all times wherever you are in your life, if you are a positive influence? In other words, when you walk to a place, do you light up the place or do you actually make a difference? Being a positive influence is something that can affect the world at all times. It means that when you go somewhere, you become a lamplighter – you bring joy, goodness, and kindness, and support, and you actually brighten up the environment where you’re at. It’s not a talent, it’s not a gift, and it’s not an opportunity; it’s a desire to be the best that you can be. It’s something which is a need “in” every person but it’s something they have to cultivate. So you always have to ask yourself, am I a positive influence on the world and do I generate goodness and bring about more light, or do I actually take away the light?
It’s often said that darkness is not a concept of its own. Darkness is strictly the absence of light. Do you understand the difference? You may think darkness is something which is created, but it’s not. Darkness is only there when there is no light. Bring a light in and the darkness goes away. So being a positive influence, influencing your environment, the people around you: your friends, your family, your colleagues, your neighbors, your neighborhood, being a positive influence in everything in this world, is what makes this world worthwhile, by what you do, what you say, what you accomplish. Unfortunately, if you don’t do these things, if you’re not being a positive influence, you bring darkness in the world because the light is missing, because the goodness is lacking, because you’re not transforming and transcending the world to be greater. You’re just letting it be the way it is. The way the world is, is wonderful but the mission of a human being on earth is to make this world a better place. Think about the developments in these last few years in our lives. Technology has changed completely the way we live, the way we think, the way we act, the way we shop, the way we communicate. Everything is changing at a fast pace because technology is the advancement of the world and the progression of the way that the world is going. It’s to be welcomed, it’s to be mastered, it’s to be used, it’s to be enjoyed. But that technology would not have come had it not been a positive influence from people wanting to change and make this place a better place to be. Having access to all this cyber information, technology, and all of the things that we find today is such a beautiful superhighway of knowledge. Use it well, but also be the influence that you can be. Be the person that needs to be there. Be a positive influence to yourself because if you don’t change yourself and bring goodness, you can’t change the world. Unless you yourself become good, how can you spread goodness?
So help the world become a better place than it was when you first came and be a positive influence to everything and everyone around you.
