Influences

I’ve heard from some people, as per my judgment - straightforward, and simple people, that I am too sensitive and that I am too much of an empath. That I see into things too much. And that I shouldn’t be too much and just live a simple life.

Yet I’ve also heard from some wise and sincere people, as per my judgment, that I am mature far beyond my years, that I have the wisdom to be grateful for, that I seem like I come from a good family, and that I have a beautiful mind.

Both are people in their own right, in their flesh and soul, telling me about the same thing in two different connotations.

Now who should I listen to?

Who should I let influence me?

Who should I measure my worth through?

In the end, that’s all we humans do, isn’t it?

Before reaching subconscious awareness, we tend to measure our worth through the judgments of the exterior world.

I hope this leads you to reflect deeply on your surroundings and experiences. May it inspire bravery and instill a sense of individuality, as our unique chain of events shapes us into who we are today. If I were in your shoes, I would have formed the same way as you have.

That connotation behind the underlying message behind someone else doesn’t define who you are.

And it sure shouldn’t impact you in the ways it does.

Now if I am to measure my characteristics and the way I choose to be, which has a more positive impact? Or whatever you value to be the way to measure things. I tend to see the emptiness a person has and I try to fill it in, however I can. To help better, to make something more whole than absent. So, most of my empathy is used for this purpose.

On the contrary, if I were to live a ‘‘simpler’’ life, I wouldn’t be able to influence and interject when necessary to bring about justice. I wouldn’t be able to inspire, or heal people because I would simply not be paying attention.

Through my sensitivity, I recognize the feelings of each soul and try to leave phrases that could trigger the best in them. Trigger awareness, so that they could be mindful and conscious. I gently lead them down a path of thinking that could open their mind to their heart.

So that they could make the best decision at each moment.

I encourage the reader, to be more aware of the way you influence someone. The way you influence those in your aura. The way you influence how the day goes, how each person leaves after touching your presence.

I encourage you to be more open, and free and bring peace with you everywhere you are. And to measure your value according to the morals you deem important to your purpose. The calling of your soul perhaps. The style that fills your heart, and makes your life wholesome and joyful.
