[6] At the very beginning of relationships, the interplay of <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaeclatdotcom.blogspot.com\/2019\/11\/good-morning-h-31.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">influence<\/a> is hardly noticed.<br \/>\nThe parties are acquainted with one another, the possibilities of a deeper relationship<br \/>\nare present, but whether the relationship will develop or not remains to be seen &#8212; it may, or<br \/>\nit may not. But as long as everything is in an incipient stage, no judgment can be made<br \/>\nupon it. At this point, neither party is harmed or helped, whether the relationship goes forward<br \/>\nor does not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n2. [6] At a later stage of an acquaintance, there is the bare beginning of a flow of influence,<br \/>\nbut it is not subject to the man&#8217;s control. Whether the relationship proceeds or not requires<br \/>\nthe actions of others, and this is not a good way to begin. If this is allowed to proceed, the<br \/>\nman will be subject to the whim of others, and the outcome will not go well. It is better for<br \/>\nthe man to wait until circumstances place him in a position where his actions will initiate<br \/>\nand control the relationship. Then he will be in a position to properly exert his influence<br \/>\nhimself, and his ability to control the way it proceeds will mean that it will go well for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n3. [9] The formation of a relationship has an emotional component, and this easily becomes<br \/>\nthe directing force. But if this is allowed to happen &#8212; if whim or infatuation is allowed to<br \/>\nlead the man into an involvement with another &#8212; it will result in humiliation. Just because a<br \/>\npossibility of a relationship of mutual influence exists doesn&#8217;t mean that it is advisable; the<br \/>\nman must restrain himself and act in accordance with his own reason. Just because another<br \/>\nperson with whom the man has a relationship wishes the man to do something is not sufficient<br \/>\nreason alone; the man must exercise wise choices and not grant every request automatically.<br \/>\nJust because the man is involved in a relationship with another does not mean<br \/>\nthat he should ignore his own intuition when it is contrary to the influence of that other; his<br \/>\nindependent judgment is the foundation of his individual freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n4. [9] When a man speaks from his heart, he has great influence on his followers, for they<br \/>\nrecognize the genuineness of his expression, it has a deep impression upon them, and it<br \/>\nreaches into their deepest sensibilities. It is incumbent upon the man, therefore, that he keep<br \/>\nhis heart pure, and if he does so, he will have no regrets. His influence will be great, and the<br \/>\nbeneficial effects upon his followers will be extensive. When the man acts from the depths<br \/>\nof his own being, when his motives are for the benefit of others and not self-centered, when<br \/>\nhe is conscious of those others and does not attempt to use them for his own ends, he will<br \/>\nmake no mistakes, and his followers will know intuitively that he can be trusted. When<br \/>\npeople are involved with one another on such a deep level, the emotional strain is intense<br \/>\nand physically wrenching. But for intense emotional experiences of this caliber, it is only<br \/>\nthe man&#8217;s followers &#8212; those to whom he speaks directly &#8212; who are influenced by him.<br \/>\nHighly emotional involvements are limited to those directly affected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n5. [9] When a man&#8217;s influence is under strict intellectual control, there is no confusion or<br \/>\nmisunderstanding. As a result, no one will be led into some unfortunate path, and there<br \/>\nwill be no cause for regret. If a man attempts to influence the unconscious mind of his followers,<br \/>\nthe results cannot always be controlled, and it is not always certain where such influence<br \/>\nmight lead. A man who avoids those emotional depths and maintains rigid intellectual<br \/>\ncontrol over himself and over the emotional level of his involvement with his followers,<br \/>\nalso avoids all those uncertainties. Nevertheless, those who are not subject to such<br \/>\nunconscious influences themselves cannot exercise that kind of influence on others, and the<br \/>\ndegree of the man&#8217;s influence will be limited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\nTop. [6] The least significant influence of all is mere talk and admonition. Talk is cheap, and<br \/>\nanyone can tell someone else what to do and how to do it. But if such talk is not an expression<br \/>\nof a deeper conviction, if the speaker does not put his whole heart into what he says<br \/>\nand put his finger on things that matter to his listeners, his message can have little effect.<br \/>\nThis kind of &#8220;do as I say, not as I do&#8221; admonition is worthless and is generally ignored by<br \/>\nthe man&#8217;s audience. If the man cannot speak from his heart, he might as well not speak at<br \/>\nall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;\">Please Comment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1Q2doTN7p9A&amp;t=70s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Like and Share<\/a><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit |&nbsp;31.
