You may be feeling strongly that others ought to agree with your point of view today, which could have you desiring to be persuasive. As you see that your conviction enables you to succeed in this endeavor, you may be feeling influential. You may find it easy to convince others to see your perspective, because you are acting from a sincere belief in your opinion. At the same time, you may realize that people do not like to be forced into anything, and that your best chance of persuading them is to speak from your heart and share your feelings as well as your information. Today you have the chance to share your point of view and influence others positively.

As we seek to share our beliefs with others, we need to have respect for their beliefs and opinions as well. There are those who feel very strongly about their philosophies, and we may feel that they are misguided or misled. But we must accept that they are on their path and are free to follow their own convictions just as we are on our path and must follow ours. As with any goal, we should not attach ourselves to a specific outcome but aim to share useful information rather than cause an immediate change. There is a responsibility that comes with the power to persuade, so we should remember to use it only with the best of intentions. You can use your influence today to contribute to positive change in the world.
