You could find that others are willing to listen to your suggestions today. Your ability to influence others may be due to your desire to improve your environments at home and work, and you may find that your ideas could create positive change. Perhaps today you can work on framing your ideas so that people are more responsive to them. Should you wish to offer any ideas, you might consider how the other person would react to them. Thinking about their perspective, their style of communication, and their goals could help you structure your thoughts in a way that appeals to them the most. Being able to fully identify with another person in this way may make others more receptive to your thoughts, and you might feel more effective as a result.

The best form of communication happens when we are able to connect with the needs of other people. If we don't make the effort to change our perspective and simply push through with our own agenda, we run the risk of offending or alienating people. Allowing ourselves to see things from another point of view, however, means that we become more open to the thoughts, motives, and experiences of another person, which helps us propose our ideas in a way that is not only interesting but also engaging. Appealing to someone else also means that we go beyond our own needs and learn how to integrate the wishes of others into our suggestions. Consider the needs of others today and your influence will create changes for the better.
