Everyone Is an Influencer: The Power of the Stories We Tell
Why Effects Don’t Change Effects
Everyone Is an Influencer
Influence isn’t measured by social media stats. It’s about how we shape the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of those around us. Social media popularized the term, but the dynamic has always been with us.
Take the news. It influences fear of crime, the economy, entertainment, culture, and even the weather. But these reports focus on effects, not causes. True change requires addressing the root — the energy, thoughts, and feelings that shape our reality.
Consciousness creates reality. The world reflects our inner garden of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. If negativity dominates, it’s time to rewrite the story beneath the story.
This is personal for me. Working in news media left me consumed by anger and fear. Once I stepped away, I saw how these influences shaped my inner narrative. Now, I’m intentional about what I allow into my consciousness. I’ve set boundaries, focusing on creators who inspire growth and positivity.
Rewriting your story is transformative, but it’s a process. It starts with recognizing the influences shaping your inner world and choosing to nurture energies like love, abundance, and joy.
