INFLUENCE ……

Hey everyone, let’s talk about influence. It’s like that awesome jacket you love – it can transform an outfit, but it can also be a total dud if you wear it wrong.

Influence can be amazing. Imagine your best friend convincing you to try that new class you’ve been eyeing, or a band’s message inspiring you to chase your dreams. That’s influence for good – it pushes us to grow, to be better people.

But, let’s be real, influence can also be bad. We’ve all seen the pressure to fit in, the fake news that flies around online, or those manipulative influencers trying to sell us something we don’t need. This kind of influence can bring us down, make us question ourselves, or even lead us down the wrong path. So, how do we make sure our influence is, you know, awesome? We gotta be responsible. Think about the messages we put out there, online and off. Let’s lift each other up, encourage each other to think for ourselves, and celebrate the fact that we’re all different. When we use our influence to spread kindness, understanding, and that feeling of “we’re all in this together,” that’s when things get cool.

The same goes for the influence we let in. Don’t just follow the crowd blindly. Question what you see, what you hear. Be your own person, even if it means standing out a bit. Remember, we get to choose the kind of influence we wield. Let’s choose to be the hype person for good vibes, and the cheerleader for awesome ideas, and together, we can create a world where positive influence is the hottest trend.
