Prudently

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

Every one of us is influenced by others, sometimes deeply and profoundly and other times only superficially. It depends on which phase of life and state of mind we are in to receive the convenient, proper influence to make any progress.

My professors influenced me enormously while studying for my bachelor’s degree. I absorbed every piece of knowledge they shared. Then, during my master’s program, the professors also had some influence on me, but not to the extent of the previous ones. I started to observe the information more critically.

In recent years, I’ve been more impacted by reading philosophy, literature, and astrology. All these different fields combined helped me through my journey of transformation.

In a final evaluation, we can say human beings need to receive different stimuli, but they should be assimilated carefully to avoid being abused or losing their true identity.

    Aren’t we influenced only by those who match our yet unrevealed potential with their thinking, who perfectly suit our inner expectations of a Teacher archetype/figure? Your reply made me wonder about that for a moment 🙂
    There are many things that influence us—tiny and big, of course. It’s just, aren’t we meant to choose a certain direction and accept/notice only influences that lead that way?
    Enjoyed reading your post as always ❤
