Influence to Transition

Every day, we are subject to multiple influences. Allowing ourselves to be unconsciously moved by any influence is often not best.

But if we create a clear space within us to consciously receive influences, especially those of other people, we can identify them and look where following them might lead us.

We can create such a space by imagining it like a stage where the influences pulling on us take shape and are identified. This simple act makes us more conscious of them.

Then we can choose whether we need to make a transition due to deciding to go with a particular influence on us, all the time, paying careful attention to our actions, their effects, and the cost of it all.
