A sphere of influence is the area where you have the power to change things. I want you to begin to think about your sphere of influence! That area in life—in your church or mosque, in your class, in your faculty, in your neighbourhood, in your family, e.t.c.—where you have the power to change things. Note: I have not said HAD.

I’m talking about an area where you can drive a change currently. You got one, two, or three?

Now, the question is: WHAT EXACTLY HAVE YOU DONE TO THAT SPHERE?

Have you talked someone down when your words can actually be responsible for their lifting? Then you have failed in your sphere of influence

Everyone has an area where they can drive change and make constructive, unforgettable impacts!

Your girlfriend or boyfriend is part of that sphere. What positive change have you orchestrated in his or her life? Or you are busy siphoning his or her time and energy for your pleasure… You may need a rethink.

Can you be humble enough and pick up a pen and paper? Start writing out those areas in your life where you can champion change but have been passive.

Some of us have started making changes in some areas of our lives, but we are inconsistent! In fact, some of us are simply afraid of being controversial!

There are two possible perspective to this:

1. LITERARY PERSPECTIVE

SPHERE OF INFLUENCE is the area where you have power to change things

2. INFERRED PERSPECTIVE

SPHERE OF INFLUENCE Under this perspective, it will mean the ‘area where you can acquire or are prone to change…

I hope we can now identify each area of our lives where we can make a difference.

Some of us are leaders in our different circles. School, religious houses, organizations, etc. It is not a position we should use to effect positive change; rather, it has become a means for us to exercise our ego and drive personal gains.

You have kept a circle of friends for years, and all you could do to them is take them away.

Let me ask you, ‘What if tomorrow starts without you, Would your sphere of influence feel you ever lived?’

Most of us are too careless about everything. Even our lives. We live it as if it is no man’s business, yet a number of lives are quietly and secretly depending on you for direction and are modeling you unaware.

Most of us have ‘just been around’ doing nothing to change the status quo.

There is a change you must drive within your nuclear family, in that small group you manage, among those friends, in that class, in that relationship.

Apologies to the ladies in the house. I read a comment on Instagram when someone asked, What’s the benefit of dating you?’ The lady commented, ‘I give him good sex!’😡

How did we get here?

If that guy can’t point out anything positive you have done in his life, my dear, you don’t need a relationship. You need to isolate yourself, weep, and seek the real purpose you exist for. This applies to the male gender too.

Let me quickly pick up the inferred meaning. The sphere of influence is the area where you can acquire or are prone to change. Take this or leave it. You are an average of five people you meet and associate with daily.

The circle of people most of us keep that is supposed to make us better is constantly depreciating us.

This explains the four kinds of people you can keep in your sphere of influence and, relatively, the kind of person you can be in your sphere of influence.

Do you keep people who add to you, multiply you, subtract from you, or divide you? Check that equation and make your choice.
