Influential People

Have you ever received that email about 'Remembering the Influential People in Your Life"? That wasn't the exact subject line, but you get the point. The unknown author tried to get you to list different famous people in different categories, (i.e. Presidents of the USA, Olympic Medal winners, Pageant winners etc.) and it was difficult to name just a handful of them.

But then the author asked you to remember the names of your people who had an impact on your life, i.e. teachers, etc. The names easily came to mind...

The people who often receive all the national acclaim, the fame and the glory are not the ones that leave a lasting impact on our lives. The people that do, seldom receive the praise they deserve for the selfless things that they do each day for others. Those are the people that make the greatest impression on us, and the ones worth remembering.

Today, thank someone that has made a lasting impact on YOUR life and remember what they did for you. Now pass it on...
