Portia Otoo Inspires: Conquerors' Series; The Man In The Mirror
I see a world so beautiful and full of possibilities; a world so endowed with options and diversity; a world so malleable and open to change; a world that adapts to the wishes and dreams of people who are willing to do a little more than just wishing and dreaming.
However, this world rewards only the bold and diligent. Like a mountain, it looks so impermeable and immovable; only those who have mastered consistency can see how liberal and malleable it could be.
Influence is something desired by many, but it has been misconstrued for so long. There are many influential people around us; we just do not know what influence actually is so we do not call them influential. For the sake of clarity, let me tell you what influence is not. Influence is not fame, "authority", "power", or popularity. There is more to influence than social media trends, likes, or followers.
Take this from me, unlike what most people preach, influence is more internal than external. It does not begin with external impact; it emanates from a conscious, personal, internal programming. Until you have the light, you cannot shine; it all begins with you. Influence needs no exaggeration; being YOU is enough to be influential.
The course of influence is as subtle yet as powerful as how a slowly flowing meek stream divides a rock noiselessly. Influence needs no dynamites; just a noiseless, harmless drop at a time.
If you want to be influential, learn to make less noise. Start by walking straight to the mirror, and begin with the man in the mirror. Look him straight in the eye and yearn to make him the kind of person that you would be proud to create. Mold him into someone worth creating. Bring out the masterpiece in him.
While at it, ignore this noisy world. Do not go comparing yourself to people who seem to be making it. You are molding a person that is supposed to influence the lives of people both in your generation and that of posterity, so take your time. Be deaf to naysayers and be blind to virtual obstacles. Focus on bringing out the masterpiece in the man in the mirror.
When people see that masterpiece and admire him so much that they are inspired to mould their lives with your inspiration, THAT'S INFLUENCE.
