The person doesn\u2019t even have to say anything and we know right away where we stand with them. The message has been sent and received. Ha! \n\nA Course in Miracles says, \u201cTo teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration others learn, and so do you.\u201d\n\n Whether we\u2019re speaking out loud, sharing on social media or just simply \u201cgiving off a vibe\u201d we\u2019re influencing the people around us. Whatever the chosen thought system we\u2019re currently operating from, whether it be love or fear, is directly influencing the people we surround ourselves with. From our spouses and kids, to our friends and coworkers, we\u2019re having an impact wherever we go.\n\nToday on The Karen Kenney Show, we\u2019re talking about influencers. And I don\u2019t mean the ones on social media with the \u201cbig batch\u201d of followers who try to persuade people to buy things, visit certain places or wear certain clothes. \n\n I\u2019m talking about every single one of us and the influence we have on every person we come into contact with throughout our day. This isn\u2019t necessarily a huge life changing moment of influence either. It could be as simple as exchanging a smile with someone in a grocery store line that changes the trajectory of their day. \n\n How we influence others is directly related to how we think about ourselves and where we are in our own story. For example, have we taken the time to at least try to be aware of and heal our own wounds, so we avoid projecting and inflicting our hurt onto others?\n\n Our circle of influence is vast and our residual effect is happening all the time. The question is; are we influencing people from a place of Love or fear? Whichever one we choose - will have its own kind of impact.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/22c50850-e75c-4734-b25e-87faf90de9ff/2026-Podcast-Artwork-512KB.jpg"}
