You affect everyone you meet. There are people you may blame for their actions toward you, or lack of attention toward you. What is your effect on them?
Do they feel safe around you? Do they feel your strength, or do you come across as weak? Do they feel a positive and affirming attitude from you, or are they the recipient of your blaming and complaining. If the latter, how does that make them feel?
It's easy to blame others for how we feel, yet completely miss the way we influence others to feel. Do you smile around others? Do you tend to have a serious look? Your look has an effect.
Are you being yourself around others. If not, then who are you being and what effect does that have on both you and others. The world does not revolve around you. You are a center of influence, and your thoughts and behavior have a ripple effect.
