Surrounding Yourself With Positive Influences.
by Rodney Ayers
Having positive influences in your life will make all the difference in the world. Positive influences usually are people we look up to. People that inspire you to want more out of life for yourself. Maybe it's Lebron James, Tiger Woods or Oprah Winfrey. Or it could be someone much closer to you like an aunt, uncle, brother or sister.
I had 2 positive influences in my life that always pushed me to do better in my life. For me It was my uncle Gerald and my football coach Mr Rutledge. These were the positive influences that inspired me to want more out of my life, more out of myself. As a little boy my uncle Gerald was like a superhero to me. He was like Hercules with those huge muscles I thought he could pick up a building easily (I know funny right!). To me he represented someone big and powerful and I thought about being like him.
More than that though he took the time to come by and see me. He would pick me up and take me places with him and simply give me words of encouragement. For a young kid growing up without a father that can be all it takes to turn a young man around in his life. I am aware there are many of you that may relate with this. He was one of the positive influences in my life to help me move in the direction of wanting more in my life. It's just little things like that can make all the difference in the world in a kids life. Someone else who was a big influence in my life was my high school football coach his name was Mr Rutledge. Now Mr Rutledge was the sort of man that he was willing to help any young kid. To me he was more like a father figure.
When I moved to Columbus OH at the age of 14 I didn't have a lot of friends at the time. When I was playing football and needed a pair of shoes because I couldn't afford them Mr Rutledge would step up and take care of it. Or if I was having problems at home Mr Rutledge was always there for me. He would even visit my house if he needed to.
He saw the potential inside me on the football field that I didn't yet see in myself. He would always encourage me to work harder and I had the potential to play college football. Well I did work harder and because of it I was a 2 time all city, all district football player and made all state my senior year. All while he got me to believe in myself. Well sure enough because of his influence and ability to get me to want more out of my life I was able to go to college on a full scholarship. You see it was those positive influences in my life that had a positive change on the type of man I became.
I'm sure many individuals can relate to my story and many people have similar stories of your own. As I have gotten older I still have people who inspire me and push me everyday to want more out of my life financially, spiritually and emotionally. People like Tracey Walker and David Wood and David Sharpe with the Empower Network, my pastor Kenny Moore. It is those positive influences that drive you, motivate you in a direction that ultimately changed my life and put me on a path to want to create a better life for myself financially, spiritually and emotionally.
I highly encourage you to draw on those positive influences in your life. Follow there guidance because the something I do know is that those people won't steer you wrong and want you to exceed abundantly in your life. Strive to become a better husband, wife, father , mother to your kids. Be a person that is a positive influence to others and it will return to you 10 times. The positive influences taught me one very important thing be a person that gives and the world will open up to you.
