Motivational Speakers in South Africa ask you – Who is influencing the way your life will turn out?

All the programs offered by one of the top motivational speakers in South Africa will ask you to search deeply within. You will be asked to search and discover your inner self. The challenge as I see it is that, you think you are really strong and the people who you surround yourself with, do not influence you in any way. This has been shown to be inaccurate, by the research, which was conducted by MIT. They conducted experiments where they observed people’s brain activity, whilst they lay absolutely still, just observing the people around them. The people, who lay motionless and only observed the activity of the people around them, had a brain response exactly the same as the people carrying out the activity. Their brain responded, as though they were carrying out the activity themselves. This is our mirror neurons at work. 

One of the key areas, which will be highlighted during this inspiring motivational speakers in South Africa presentation, is the fact that, from an early age we have an incredible ability to mirror the behaviour of the people around us. This is a very effective mechanism, which helps us to quickly learn a number of useful things, necessary for our survival. This mechanism, does not switch off as we get older and as such we are programed to mirror the behaviour of the people around us, throughout our lives. Eventually you will speak like, think like, dress like and act like the people you spend most of you time around. This is an unconscious response and will happen despite your best efforts to stop it from happening. 

Who are you Around?

If the people you surround yourself with, have such a profound effect on your life, don’t you think you should become far more selective about the people you choose to be in your inner circle. Invest the time today to look at the people in your inner circle. Who are you around?

What are your Associations doing for you?

Ask yourself the following questions:

·         What are the people closest to me doing for me?

·         What have they got me doing or not doing?

·         What have they got me listening to?

·         What have the influenced me to read or am I not reading at all?

·         Where are they influencing me to go or not go?

·         How have they affected my thinking?

·         What language have they influenced me to use or not use?

·         How do I feel, when I am around them?

·         Finally ask the toughest question of all. “Is that OK”?

Are the people closest to you, a positive influence and energising influence, who inspire you to read books, attend seminars and who support you to take goal specific action every day? Or are there bad apples in the bunch, who constantly drag you off track and who encourage you to slack off, where they encourage you to choose entertainment over activity and leisure over industry. Have the courage to take an in-depth look at all of the people closest to you. Invest the time to give them a second look. Try to see how they are influencing you. 

Both the people, who have a positive or negative influence over you, will take you somewhere. Remember that only the positive influencers will take you in the direction you really want to go. Assessing your associations, is an on-going process. You have to constantly be vigilant and on the lookout for how the scales are tipping. Ignorance, when it comes to the people in your inner circle, is most certainly not the best policy. Knowing how people in your inner circle are influencing you, is the only way to ensure you are not slowly dragged off track.

Take Control

The people closest to you, do influence and shape your life and will pull you in a direction. Ignorance will allow the tide of negative influence to take you in a direction you do not want. You will be gradually tugged off track, until one day you wake up and can’t understand how you have got so far off track. The same is true for those positive influencers in your life. They will support you and gradually pull you in a positive direction. You will wake up one day, amazed at how far you have managed to travel down the path towards the meaning you desire, wondering why it had all seemed so easy.
