When mood off, think within the circle of influence..

I guess it is important to first accept we are.. find out the cause and see if something can be done. Key again would be to work within the circle of influence..

Oh and here’s something about the circle of influence.. :)

Circle of Influence – Inspired from Stephen R Covey’s book

When seeking to free India from the British Empire, Gandhi didn’t go to London to protest and bad-mouth the British rule. Instead, he went out to the rice paddies in Indian villages, quietly expanding his influence with the field laborers. As a result, a ground swell of support, trust and confidence followed him. Even though he held no office, and just through compassion, courage, fasting, and moral persuasion he brought Empire to its knees, breaking its political domination of India. Gandhi did this by focusing on his ‘Circle of Influence’, things he had control over and expanded his influence to his ‘Circle of Concern’ – eventually achieving independence from the Empire.
This week, let’s focus our effort on things we can do something about – our circle of influence, and accept the things we can’t control. Hopefully our influence too will grow to cover our concerns in due time.
