In order to have influence, you have to be influenced.

Vital to quality of life is the ability to work together, learn from each other, and help each other grow.

Whether we are aware of it or not, whether we are in control of it or not, there is a first creation to every part of our lives. We are either the second creation of our own proactive design, or we are the second creation of other people's agendas, of circumstances, or of past habits.
