I love this post from Dave Navarro, the personal productivity and internet launch coach with the same name as a famous guitarist.
I consider myself as an independent thinker, able to separate everyone else’s agenda from my own and to stay firmly attuned to the latter. But then I read this post and I realize, of course other people control my life. And they control yours, too.
Think about who you admire, who you respect, who you envy, who you love, who you fear, who you rely on, who you value personally and professionally, who you cannot stand… They all have a hand in shaping your self-image, your world view and your actions. Make sure they shape it in the right way.
Dave will break it down for you:

What do you think? Are you immune to the sway of any or all of these?

Thank you for this, I’ve been felling swayed by most of these lately. No, I’m not immune to all of these, but sometimes wish I was. It’s usually the times when I’m reaching forward to new goals or shedding a few pounds that both the good & bad influences seem to rear their ugly head.
