I didn’t realize this was posted so long ago but wow!!! I have just digested a full course meal in 4 minutes!!! Thanks Lisa for the opportunity to grow at my maximum potential!!! I did this recently and didn’t even realize what I was doing!! I noticed that my job that I was promoted to didn’t serve me because I had no influence!! As a leader in the company I wanted to use my gifts and passion to help and train and develop but the other leaders and staff didn’t appreciate nor foster that environment!!! I am grateful for choice but even more for my circle of influence not my circle of concern!!! Thanks Lisa!!!
Awesome!!! I am a Covey Trainer for my company and I jumped for JOY when I heard this message!! YESSSSSSSSSSS! Increase the percentage of energy that you feed your circle of influence!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!
As a special education teacher, there are so many pressures, responsibilities, and what ifs. It is beyond stressful and is a nearly impossible job for one person to do effectively in every area, every day. The duties and extra tasks placed on me are outside my Circle of Influence. I cannot change those things, but as a result of this video, I make a vow to focus on what is in my Circle of Influence, which is my relationship with my students! I have the power to inspire or destroy a life and I choose to inspire and focus oooooonmy babies. This video was everything! Thank you!
OMG Lisa I cannot believe it ... The moment you upload your video, was the moment I was celebrating myself my small movement forward, I am building my very first business and everything is challenging, sometimes you move forward and then two steps backwards! But I am learning so much resilience, focus and patience ... I am failing forward ! Lisa you're a dear friend to me without even knowing because I talk to you via your book Abundance now and how grateful I am for all your support ! I love you sister and thanks for your work ... One day I will meet you and gift you with one of my jewellery !
Ur words just heal the soul n inspires to trust on our self worth n b thankful for what we have n further inspires us to work more harder .Heartly ❤️ thanks Lisa .Lots of lv
Thank You! I was so angry with an issue of concern my heart was pounding in my chest. I made the choice to focus on my circle of influence. My heart is calming down and I have joy.
I have only one word from listening to this message, and its "WOW!" I can hear this every morning, and influence others especially those that are closer to me. Listen with more intent, and hear the need. 👏👏👏👏

BOL! With heartfelt tears Lisa, this came after an awakening weekend. You gave me the assurance that the thought to no longer place my energy in my adult children who clearly are making their own decisions, where I once influenced is now only a concern. After being a widow now 4 years, after 26 years of marriage and the adult children no longer are in my circle of influence. Truly upon listening I have concluded that I am going put my energy and FOCUS on my business, which is beginning AGAIN, and other strong influential relationships. I adore your style of coaching and teaching, Thank YOU LISA!
Lisa.... you ALWAYS encourage me! I know that your audience is primarily female, but this MAN loves you and what you represent in helping the masses reach their greatest potential! Game changing stuff! God bless you, sweet sister! Carry on!
Hi Lisa. I've been reading the 7 habits of highly effective people for years not actually finishing the book but going back and forth through it but I've never done the work. this video really reassured me i was on the right track and has inspired me to not only finish the book but do the work. Thank you
I make it a point to pray and medicate every morning. As a result: I have been led to do more outreaching into the community and to other nonprofits and the events began to take place simultaneously as through collaborative efforts. I want to thank you Lisa, as I found your RUclips channel just days after I prayed for guidance. Thank you for being so transparent. May you continue to be blessed.
Awesome piece. We truly do need to focus on our circle of influence more. I have spent so much of my time on things that I have no control over and I see the difference since I have made the shift. I can move mountains if my focus is in the right place.
Dear Lisa: I want to be the Spanish Lisa Nichols version. I admire you. I believe that our world needs people like you. You are my mentor and my sister of prosperity. Wish you the best Julia Sagastume
God really sent this to me, I woke up early a bit sad because I did an exam yesterday and I wasn't happy with my grade because I felt I should've done better. But what I forgot is that I can do better. I can do it better next time . I got a First Class at the end of the day, so I have many things to celebrate. If I want a higher grade, I can do that. I'm focusing on what I CAN change.
I've been focusing on what I don't want for my life, and what I want for others (friends and family). Now I will shift my focus to what I want for myself because I realize that through the power of the Law of Attraction I AM a creator! I can have everything I desire. Thank you
Hi Lisa, I got your first vedio from my boss where you were talking about how your teacher told you that you will never do public speaking, WOW:) what makes me love your work is that they are short and to the point, I listen to them while working and I love the different topics and I get to choose the ones that touch me the most and they are so precise and life changing. Thank you. I am also finding myself and getting out of that complacence state where you just live day to day with no excitement, I now make time for myself, I am now following your tips on loving yourself and forgiving others and being complete as a person without waiting for validation from the next person. May the Almighty continue to bless you as you are a blessing to the masses
My dear sister, there are no words that can describe my feelings for you. My whole life I was in need to have a sister like you. The one that will understand me, the one that will support me when I am down, when I have difficult times. I was going through worst time of my life all alone until I have met you. Now I know there is my sister Lisa! She understands me, she support me, she is my hope, my place where I go to hear words of wisdom. Thank you Lisa. God sent you to me just on time when I was hopeless.
Lisa! I spent so much time worrying about fact that store I am working in is closing down and I will loose my job... I took all my energy and as you said I used it on thinking about the fact I cannot change (closing the store). I took action and I am starting to opening my own business! I work on it every day after I finish my job I come home and work extra hours to create my future! It’s amazing feeling! And energy grows where energy goes! Right now I am going in the right direction! Thank you Lisa and Team xxx
Thank you Linda for this conversation, my take home message "take up real estate in my circle of influence, and allow the circle of concern to exist but not getting my energy", yes yes
Thank you God!! 🙏 Im so happy I found you today! Suffering from fear and depression 😂 In need of a major break through and you have given me all the 🔑's I need to do so. You are a blessing 🙏
For the longest time I have been struggling trying to control and influence things, people, and situations in my life that eats up my entire energy. Thank you for awakening that unconscious wisdom in me.I have been listening to your videos and I could say my life is turning 360 degrees now and all for the better Thank God..May He bless you continuously. It’s amazing how you could influence each aspect of life and hit all points perfectly. I now know I shouldn’t be too affected by things or people that I cant control or influence.I’ll now focus on reaching my goal and achieving success because most of the time I noticed I get distracted by allowing them to consume my energy. Yes! yes! Thank you Lisa! ♥️😘
Dear Lisa, Thank you. I have read many inspirational books over the course of my life. (i am 54 now) But I did not manage to integrate many of the lessons into my life. It stayed at the AHA moment. Every Time I stepped back in the old patterns of my behavior. You know how to get me step out of my confort zone and start taking real action. You give me the courage and confidence that i can chance into the person i ment to be, and want to be. Even writing this message now is a part of my NEW ME. First time i feel the urge to openly show my apprisiation and take action on it. Till now i was more the silent typ. I am taking the time to translate what ik need to say to you, my own language is Dutch. Thank you, Love you and i bet you will hear from me again.
Lisa Your words are winds in sails. As a result of this video I am going to make a stand in telling myself what if it works? and fail forward in that. To let fear stop me. To make changes to my financial situation and start doing community fitness classes again in the town where I now live. To focus on my circle of influence.
Lisa,yes , YES.( How forgiveness will transform your life ). I felt for a long time that i can forgive and move on with my life but others never agreed with me. Thank you for this tool. I reconize , i can make the choice to forgive inspite of the depth of the wrong done to you and NOW embrace the GIFT of forgiveness flowing from and to me. Thank you Lisa, yes,YES.
This meant so much to me. I'm going to be 42 this year and I've spent so many years searching for my purpose. I have a couple of ideas that wouldn't get me more money, but would give me more satisfaction. You always motivate me and always have, I keep coming back to you. So grateful for these episodes. I hope to start...And keep....one of my projects soon. Not solely for me, but what could interest others too. Sent with love...Tracee
Real talk! I am a young black woman broad, and sometimes I get consumed with frustration about race issues and politics. I feel like it is my responsibility to be aware of what's happening in the world... the shift I had as a result of this video is that I don't have to be consumed with it. It is out of my Circle of Influence. I will now work to give more time, energy and thoughts to those thing I can influence. In time I believe my circle of influence will grow and I'll be able to affect some of these concerns because they are now in my enlarged Circle of Influence. Thanks for the message.
I needed this you said at the abundance now event that in the next 38 days after the conference we were going to need that burning fuel we experienced at the event. My were you right! Yesterday i just broke down ready to give up overwhelmed at it all but in all of that i thought of you and my tribe that i was blessed to have at the event and that was the only thing motivating me. I just want to say thank you Lisa thank you and then this morning you popped up on my phone God is so good I just know i will not give up and i thank you. I love you Lisa God bless you
Omg!!!!! This was confirmation for me!!! I have been watching you since I was 18 and I am now 26!!! And this video right here was my video!!! For years I've been giving attention to things I could not change and wonder why I was so miserable and depressed.. just recently I got out of a situation and felt so alone and at that point I realized I needed to pay more attention to me. Find out who I am and what I like. And since then life has been so peaceful. So I know that I am heading in the right direction. Thank you!
This has been a life changing principal for me. Ever since I started focusing on what I can control rather then what I can't I have realized I have more then enough in my control to play with to make awesome things happen.
I get anxious at times because I focus too much in my circle of concern. I will now consciously put more energy into my circle of influence. Thank you Lisa:)
Thank you sooo much for your message. It spoke directly to me this morning. My circle of concern has consumed my mind and sprit for an overwhelming amount of time. I have already started the process of moving forwards my circle of influence. That’s why this video spoke into my soul today. So true!
I love you Lisa...just your voice of enthusiasm thrills me to good things.. Ive set up a well being chanel during lockdown to help myself and hopefully others...but this is because of people like you...I still fall off the track a little..I lost my husband and my father in the last few years and was struggling with for some reason regrets..xxx
I thank you for your contribution to this universe..YOU are doing exactly what I've wanted to do all my life..and that is to be a speaker ,teacher , and a best selling author..at the age of 51 ..and 3 grown children I find I have no more excuses..but to just leap...Thank you Lisa for giving me the push I neeed..
I’m going to school in Spain for the next few years but I keep worrying that I’m not going to do well. instead of doing what I need to do (study more, enjoy my final days home) I’m stressing about getting my visa or if I’ll like my roommates, things completely out of my circle of influence. As a result of this talk starting today I’m going to flip the narrative. Lisa you are a god send.
We have the most control over ourselves and what we need to be doing to be the best we can be. It seems like we find it easier to be concerned about other people and things that we can't control and we end up not doing what we need to for ourselves, it's a waste of time. God gives us free will and we often don't even follow the will of God. As I've gotten older I try to have my focus where it needs to be and doing what I can with my influence. Thanks for the reminder.💚
I like to think of Free Will as an option. And no matter what we do with our free will or others with theirs, God or your Higher Power makes a reason for it. Therefore..eventually..everything happens for a reason. Sent with love, tracee
As a result of this episode, I have learnt to put my energy into what I can create to help my dream become a reality, than focusing on what is in my circle of concern such as my relationship, for awhile it has taken the best part of me, am always trying to do things to make it work but then I completely forget that before the relationship I had goals. so now am putting a challenge to work myself out and pay attention to the experience
thank you lisa....i was always concerned about Why it was not happening..but now i will surely focus on the change required..now i am going to really focus on change not the reason..once again thank you lisa....i am going silver now....
Thanks for this video Lisa! I found them all so useful. I have faced so many rejections that have knocked my confidence. I started to care about other people's thoughts of me, instead of working on my own. I allowed people to betray me and steal my joy and happiness, with their lies and I have struggled to admit that these experiences to myself or deal with them. I found myself broken (and the other B word which I'm struggling to type but you know what I mean) 6 months after an incident when I thought I got over it. I lost my confidence and stopped becoming the woman that I know I am meant to be. I know I have a gift, and so much to offer the world and now that it feels like I am back at square 1, I know I need to focus on what I can change and set myself micro wins until I get to my major win. Your time scheduling advice was a game changer for me and I will be using it to gain more productivity out of each day. Thanks for all of your help! You are my tribe xx
I been very good to me. I have made many changes in my, I called extreme self care. By doing this, my daughters are picking up my good energy. My friends have noticed I look much happier. I watch more what I eat, do more exercises, and most important I change my attitude, from where before I would doubt my self. Now, I say I can do this. And amazing results have happened. I tease my friends I doing therapy. I am focus on improving me first, and then the rest comes!
Lisa,I have started your exercise of looking at myself in the mirror and saying what I am proud of, forgive myself for and commit to since only 2 days but I have seen so much difference and I would never have thought that these affirmations could come from deep within and be so liberating. I must admit I have been on the path of self-development since a few years now, and I feel somehow a bit differently about some of the things you said because from my experience they were different but I have gained so much from your speeches in just a few days. I am avidly watching your videos, and most of them make me shed a tear. Lots of love. Malikah
Lisa, you are my #BOL every conversation has truly been life renewing. The transformation is real! I thank you for you and all that you do. As a result of listening and watching you, all those negative things that I can even think of or say are being erased and replaced. You have really given me a better way to look and handle fear. I can't wait to give a Micro or Macro-Win update. This is my tribe!! YES YES!! I love you too!
Because I have been through so much with my now adult children growing up (illnesses that were or could have been detrimental, mental situations both of us) sometimes it's hard not to live in the circle of concern. Now I have a little one who is the last child and it is difficult dealing with her because I feel like I am going backwards with all of that but on an upscale. Finally finding my peace, purpose and moving forward as I set each goal and move a step further I am finding unbearable obstacles. I have created a room for peace where I go to retreat. I have moved most things to my circle of influence. In doing so I have found that there are somethings that I can not and will not share with some so that I can continue to move forward. I have found that much of what is important to me or that I believe I can accomplish others don't feel the same; including my family who I have been a great supporter for even when they felt that they could not accomplish something. My greatest push is life is tell me that I can not accomplish something, that you think I can't handle a goal that I believe I can and I will show you that I can and defeat you and any doubts that you may have had and tried to instill in me. My greatest game changer of 'YES I CAN!!!!" is to tell me that I can't. This is where my circle of influence becomes 95%. Thank you Lisa your talks and mentoring has been very uplifting.
Thank you for pointing out the difference between our concerns and influences, the things we consume our thoughts with are all concerns and nothing that influences us ... I am taking out those non-life changing concerns and I am going to focus on my influences the things that can further develop the woman I am purpose to be.... thank you Lisa.
I will CHANGE MY FOCUS, so that I FOCUS ON WHAT I CAN CHANGE!...you make me more fearless and Im starting to respect myself, love myself, value myself, care about myself a pinch and an inch every day! Love you Sister for what you do with your motivational words and even for the meaningful silence in between :)
Lisa, as a result of this episode, i hav been able to spin in my column of influence, make my fear my fuel n say yes yes I am.... Thank u so much Lisa.
Watching this has just made me realise that I spend the majority of my time worrying about all the things in my circle of concern, and it’s exhausting! Not to mention seriously unproductive!... I’m now going to try to spend more time in my circle of influence and see what happens! Thank you so much!
I needed to hear this and when I think about it I know I've got more control over my life than I thought I had. I'm now focussing on my physical and mental health before I am going to focus on my career. I want a new fulfilling career. I know that how I stand in my life will affect what kind of career is possible for me. I am 46 and often I feel I missed the boat but then again I know that I can still have good life if I choose right.
OK LISA B.O.L!! First the fact that this was published on my birthday last year speaks volumes to me. Girl you just blew me away. I paused the video to post. By listening to this what I have learned is that I truly cannot give anything that is beyond my control to much energy. I know we're all on our separate journey, but when you said your ex, your sister or your mother? You just got right in my space. Confirmed! I hear you and thank you! I know now that I am on the right track. I just needed to hear it. Im choosing to make me a priority not based on anyone else's approval but my own. #LovemesomeLisa @LisaNichols
Lisa thank you. I have been watching you daily for 2,weeks,now,and my focus is shifting. I heard you and a,collaborative group back in 2004 to 2006. Since 2002 I started to shift. Each year it,gets more,challenged but my strength,and,goals are bigger. I want to,thank you for,your life. Your down, real and raw. Its how I live,and,no sugar coating about it! Alicia Ramos TX
I first heard you speak during Go Pro and fell in love with you and your messages right away. You speak with passion and truth which helps me so much. Love you.
Lisa, thank you so much for posting this. This was a breakthrough video for me. You talked about what's in our circle of influence. And how much we worry about things outside of it that we can't control. It was easy for me to identify plenty of things I worry about that I have no control over. But when it came to things that I actually do have some control over I had to really stop and ask myself what are those things? What is in my circle of influence? I started to make a list. My kids and family My co workers My job My home environment My health My finances To name a few. Essentially the people I see, the places I go, the things I do. And then begin to redirect energy toward those things instead of the useless worry. Like what can I do to enhance my home environment? To make it a more comfortable place for myself and my family. What can I do to manage my money better and start saving more. Or how can I bring more love and connection to my relationships with family and friends? These are some areas where I can actually take action and make a difference. Lisa, I am so inspired by your videos. Thank you so much for all the good you are sharing with the world!!
right now i..change my focus ... 100 percent to the circle of influence.. all my life ive been paying bills and meeting ends..thinking too much about this..and once achieve this target..i m so exhausted to think any thing creative.... ive realized ..even though i dont think about bills ..ill still pay them.. this process is involuntary... so let me move on.. and make a new choice..and from now on it is the circle of influence .. all in my power and grace . i promise to shine bright ..not dimming my light YES and a bigger YES for the divine assignment . love and respect
That is so true. I try not too focus on people I cant relate. And not everyone shares your views, so I find topics to talk about that I can agree with others.
7 habit of highly effective people is a book that has helped Me to focus on what I give emotional growth but your insight has made it another level for me
Wow! This really spoke me. I don't take notes, but I drew 2 circles in my journal - a big one for influence, and one for concern ( hint: it's smaller) What a wonderful reminder to focus my energy. Thank you x1000000 🔥🔥🔥
I totally needed to hear this. I am going through a transformation right now in my life. I had weight loss surgery and my body is not the only thing going through it. My mind is a battlefield. I'm in an area that is new and a little overwhelming to be honest. The looks, the comments from men and women are a little unsettling. It's like I'm being bombarded with all this attention. It's like they are forcing me into conversation. I prefer being in the background. But the visual me sparks conversation. I have to compartmentalize what's real.
There are people in everyone's lives that fall into the circle of concern and we can't do anything about them but watch... I have been in the same place and your video has made me just learn to turn my back on them and focus on better things like family my health and my business... Thank u Lisa this video is a big BOL for me...
Lisa whenever I get down I go to youtube and listen to one of your videos and as a result, it has helped me to stay in the positive and keep fighting for my dreams. There are days when I thought about just giving up but your story keeps me going and keeps me fighting. Thank you so very much for being the truth!
I love you too.. I so needed to here this. i tend to get stuck on things that I have no control over and end up with no progress and Every thing around suffered. I am making a commitment to myself to work harder on things that I have influence over. thank you Lisa
YANA! I love the circle of Influence move. I have wasted time wanting to change my family members. I just need to put more effort on my ability to succeed, than what others decide to do with their lives. I let them make their choices! They can learn from my success!!!!
Never heard of the circle of influence or concern, but you know you gave me something to think about because I'm on this journey of learning more about myself and i believe that this would help. Thank you
#BOL!!! Circle of influence vs. Circle of concern! I have never thought of the time I spent concerned with whether my mom and siblings getting along as a waste of my time and energy now i realize the time would be better spent in my circle of influence.... damn. Instead of worrying or trying to change anything I'm going to use the energy to connect with them anyway I can. Cards, kind texts, phone calls and visits so no matter what anyone else is doing my relationships are fed because that I can influence!
Lisa! BOL all the way today! I was mind-blown when I realized I have been giving all of my focus and energy towards my concerns. And then I would give my concerns details and make them real?! When you reminded me that my energy and focus can go towards my influence I was so excited! I have so much beautiful things in my life and people to influence and grow with but I lack giving them my focus, love and energy. I am so excited to push reset and begin to influence MY beautiful life and others by being my authentic self! With love, faith, and confidence💞👏👀👌💁 Thank you soooooo much Sister💗 for your courage and wisdom that you share! Know you have blessed me and may the lord be with you! 😊👏🙏💃🏃
I definitely desire to live and operate more from circle of influences. Trying to be at a place of no control is draining and laying those burdens down is a pleasure. The consistency, for me, is key. I love how you said do it bit by bit like 20% here and then, add on
Hello Lisa when I listened to How To Step into Your Purpose that was my very first time ever hearing you speak... When you said I want to touch you soul you did just that and you said That there was a calling on MY LIFE THAT I DON'T GET TO SHACK the tears started to flow I always knew I was great I just didn't knew how to get there. You also said something else that resigned with and that You didn't know what you didn't know I was like what the what. But since then I have been trying to figure ME OUT AND IN DOING SO I'M FALLING IN LIVE WITH ME. Thank You I look forward to meeting you real soon Renita Gold
This really changed my perception. I suffer from Anxiety. I have some much-wasted energy in my circle of concern. I cannot wait to make my list. I want to see and focus more on my circle of influence.
Listening to you before I lay my head down always inspires and encourages me. My aha moment was when you talked about looking at your "circle of influence" and how much time you spend there compared to the "circle of concerns". I realize I need to put or increase my time in the circle of influence. With that in mind, I can move forward with my dreams to soon become my reality and the world's.
You always have a way of speaking to me, like you are saying the words to me. I've recently showed my mother some of these videos, and I'm glad to say that she is changing her ways. Sometimes you just need a little breakthrough ♡
Thank u Lisa, I am going to start working on me, I’m tired of given concern on my ex boyfriend. It’s been taken all my energy and it leaves me drained !! I’m moving on, focusing on my life purpose !! Thanks again and my God continue to bless u so u can continue to bless others.. #BOL 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you Lisa, I'm grateful that I found your interview about your struggles, depression and how you overcame it. Your story made me strong, so inspiring. After watching that, I decided,I gave a word to myself, I won't be that broken again.
#BOL Ive been struggling with trying to balance my life with other peoples concerns, problems, and issues, almost to the point that I don't leave any energy for myself. After listening to your video Lisa, I came to the conclusion that you are so right! I need to let go of all the things that I cannot control, and focus on things that I can, for myself. I promise myself from now on I'm going to treat my time and energy as a rare diamond, rather than a free sample. I believe I can do so much more by focusing my energy on myself, and what I have influence over, just like you said. Thank you so much Lisa!
Thank you for defining circle of concern vs. circle of influence.now I’ll moving into a better and bigger circle . Stepping into a circle where I am in control!
I suffer from depression and anxiety. This video helped me to start thinking about how I can change my life. I'm depressed because of not following my dream of entrepreneurship. Everyday I think it's got to be something better.
Marquette Hello! You are so not alone. I too have been in that place, but I made up my mind to follow my dreams/passions. We are just here for a time. Follow your heart. The hardest thing is to start, but wants you do things will fall into place. Be encouraged!
Hi Marquette, Absolutely watch Lisa's video called "Lisa Nichols on Rescuing Yourself, Overcoming Fear, and Finding Success By Serving Others." It has great keys to success that you can follow and be successful. You can do it!
Thank you so much Lisa! You inspire me so much! Your videos do so much for me. Continue to motivate the masses because WE ARE LISTENING. God bless you sister!
You're amazing and so transparent. So my circle of concerns has been trying to teach others how to change their perception about different situations that brings harm to their lives when in fact they are already adamant about their choices. I am moving that engery to my circle of influence. Where I will pursue my purpose unaplogically . This will in the end workout for everyone's good. Since my cup will then be full enough to run over and share. Thank you. Oh yeah, that statement of listening not to hear but to hear the need behind what is being said is priceless. Thanks for the Jewel, Jewel.
' If you're going to fail, fail forward! ' I love that!
I didn’t realize this was posted so long ago but wow!!! I have just digested a full course meal in 4 minutes!!! Thanks Lisa for the opportunity to grow at my maximum potential!!! I did this recently and didn’t even realize what I was doing!! I noticed that my job that I was promoted to didn’t serve me because I had no influence!! As a leader in the company I wanted to use my gifts and passion to help and train and develop but the other leaders and staff didn’t appreciate nor foster that environment!!! I am grateful for choice but even more for my circle of influence not my circle of concern!!! Thanks Lisa!!!
Awesome!!! I am a Covey Trainer for my company and I jumped for JOY when I heard this message!! YESSSSSSSSSSS! Increase the percentage of energy that you feed your circle of influence!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!
As a special education teacher, there are so many pressures, responsibilities, and what ifs. It is beyond stressful and is a nearly impossible job for one person to do effectively in every area, every day. The duties and extra tasks placed on me are outside my Circle of Influence. I cannot change those things, but as a result of this video, I make a vow to focus on what is in my Circle of Influence, which is my relationship with my students! I have the power to inspire or destroy a life and I choose to inspire and focus oooooonmy babies. This video was everything! Thank you!
Thank you sooo much mummy Lisa❤
I from now on, shift my energy to my circle of influence ; my studies and my business
OMG Lisa I cannot believe it ... The moment you upload your video, was the moment I was celebrating myself my small movement forward, I am building my very first business and everything is challenging, sometimes you move forward and then two steps backwards! But I am learning so much resilience, focus and patience ... I am failing forward ! Lisa you're a dear friend to me without even knowing because I talk to you via your book Abundance now and how grateful I am for all your support ! I love you sister and thanks for your work ... One day I will meet you and gift you with one of my jewellery !
Ur words just heal the soul n inspires to trust on our self worth n b thankful for what we have n further inspires us to work more harder .Heartly ❤️ thanks Lisa .Lots of lv
Thank You! I was so angry with an issue of concern my heart was pounding in my chest. I made the choice to focus on my circle of influence. My heart is calming down and I have joy.
I have only one word from listening to this message, and its "WOW!" I can hear this every morning, and influence others especially those that are closer to me. Listen with more intent, and hear the need. 👏👏👏👏
BOL! With heartfelt tears Lisa, this came after an awakening weekend. You gave me the assurance that the thought to no longer place my energy in my adult children who clearly are making their own decisions, where I once influenced is now only a concern. After being a widow now 4 years, after 26 years of marriage and the adult children no longer are in my circle of influence. Truly upon listening I have concluded that I am going put my energy and FOCUS on my business, which is beginning AGAIN, and other strong influential relationships. I adore your style of coaching and teaching, Thank YOU LISA!
Lisa.... you ALWAYS encourage me! I know that your audience is primarily female, but this MAN loves you and what you represent in helping the masses reach their greatest potential! Game changing stuff! God bless you, sweet sister! Carry on!
Hi Lisa. I've
been reading the 7 habits of highly effective people for years not actually finishing the book but going back and forth through it but I've never done the work. this video really reassured me i was on the right track and has inspired me to not only finish the book but do the work. Thank you
Ms. Lisa thank you so much you are amazing and gifted!!!
I make it a point to pray and medicate every morning. As a result: I have been led to do more outreaching into the community and to other nonprofits and the events began to take place simultaneously as through collaborative efforts. I want to thank you Lisa, as I found your RUclips channel just days after I prayed for guidance. Thank you for being so transparent. May you continue to be blessed.
BOL Focusing on my circle of influence and giving less energy to my circle of concern! Thanks so much!
Virginia Malone I'm learning to do the same thing. It feels so good to invest more time and energy into yourself.
Awesome piece. We truly do need to focus on our circle of influence more. I have spent so much of my time on things that I have no control over and I see the difference since I have made the shift. I can move mountains if my focus is in the right place.
Dear Lisa: I want to be the Spanish Lisa Nichols version. I admire you. I believe that our world needs people like you.
You are my mentor and my sister of prosperity. Wish you the best Julia Sagastume
God really sent this to me, I woke up early a bit sad because I did an exam yesterday and I wasn't happy with my grade because I felt I should've done better. But what I forgot is that I can do better. I can do it better next time . I got a First Class at the end of the day, so I have many things to celebrate. If I want a higher grade, I can do that. I'm focusing on what I CAN change.
I've been focusing on what I don't want for my life, and what I want for others (friends and family). Now I will shift my focus to what I want for myself because I realize that through the power of the Law of Attraction I AM a creator! I can have everything I desire. Thank you
Hi Lisa, I got your first vedio from my boss where you were talking about how your teacher told you that you will never do public speaking, WOW:) what makes me love your work is that they are short and to the point, I listen to them while working and I love the different topics and I get to choose the ones that touch me the most and they are so precise and life changing. Thank you. I am also finding myself and getting out of that complacence state where you just live day to day with no excitement, I now make time for myself, I am now following your tips on loving yourself and forgiving others and being complete as a person without waiting for validation from the next person. May the Almighty continue to bless you as you are a blessing to the masses
My dear sister, there are no words that can describe my feelings for you. My whole life I was in need to have a sister like you. The one that will understand me, the one that will support me when I am down, when I have difficult times. I was going through worst time of my life all alone until I have met you. Now I know there is my sister Lisa! She understands me, she support me, she is my hope, my place where I go to hear words of wisdom. Thank you Lisa. God sent you to me just on time when I was hopeless.
Lisa! I spent so much time worrying about fact that store I am working in is closing down and I will loose my job... I took all my energy and as you said I used it on thinking about the fact I cannot change (closing the store). I took action and I am starting to opening my own business! I work on it every day after I finish my job I come home and work extra hours to create my future! It’s amazing feeling! And energy grows where energy goes! Right now I am going in the right direction! Thank you Lisa and Team xxx
Thank you Linda for this conversation, my take home message "take up real estate in my circle of influence, and allow the circle of concern to exist but not getting my energy", yes yes
Thank you God!! 🙏 Im so happy I found you today! Suffering from fear and depression 😂 In need of a major break through and you have given me all the 🔑's I need to do so. You are a blessing 🙏
For the longest time I have been struggling trying to control and influence things, people, and situations in my life that eats up my entire energy. Thank you for awakening that unconscious wisdom in me.I have been listening to your videos and I could say my life is turning 360 degrees now and all for the better Thank God..May He bless you continuously. It’s amazing how you could influence each aspect of life and hit all points perfectly. I now know I shouldn’t be too affected by things or people that I cant control or influence.I’ll now focus on reaching my goal and achieving success because most of the time I noticed I get distracted by allowing them to consume my energy. Yes! yes! Thank you Lisa! ♥️😘
Dear Lisa, Thank you. I have read many inspirational books over the course of my life. (i am 54 now) But I did not manage to integrate many of the lessons into my life. It stayed at the AHA moment. Every Time I stepped back in the old patterns of my behavior. You know how to get me step out of my confort zone and start taking real action. You give me the courage and confidence that i can chance into the person i ment to be, and want to be. Even writing this message now is a part of my NEW ME. First time i feel the urge to openly show my apprisiation and take action on it. Till now i was more the silent typ. I am taking the time to translate what ik need to say to you, my own language is Dutch. Thank you, Love you and i bet you will hear from me again.
Lisa Your words are winds in sails. As a result of this video I am going to make a stand in telling myself what if it works? and fail forward in that. To let fear stop me. To make changes to my financial situation and start doing community fitness classes again in the town where I now live. To focus on my circle of influence.
AS a result of this episode. I will live my life and love my self and be more , compassionate . Understanding and loyal to My self x
Lisa,yes , YES.( How forgiveness will transform your life ). I felt for a long time that i can forgive and move on with my life but others never agreed with me. Thank you for this tool. I reconize , i can make the choice to forgive inspite of the depth of the wrong done to you and NOW embrace the GIFT of forgiveness flowing from and to me. Thank you Lisa, yes,YES.
This meant so much to me. I'm going to be 42 this year and I've spent so many years searching for my purpose. I have a couple of ideas that wouldn't get me more money, but would give me more satisfaction. You always motivate me and always have, I keep coming back to you. So grateful for these episodes. I hope to start...And keep....one of my projects soon. Not solely for me, but what could interest others too. Sent with love...Tracee
I am motivated and always get a bol moment. I strayed away. NOW I AM BACK. THANK YOU LISA.
Real talk! I am a young black woman broad, and sometimes I get consumed with frustration about race issues and politics. I feel like it is my responsibility to be aware of what's happening in the world... the shift I had as a result of this video is that I don't have to be consumed with it. It is out of my Circle of Influence. I will now work to give more time, energy and thoughts to those thing I can influence. In time I believe my circle of influence will grow and I'll be able to affect some of these concerns because they are now in my enlarged Circle of Influence.
Thanks for the message.
I needed this you said at the abundance now event that in the next 38 days after the conference we were going to need that burning fuel we experienced at the event. My were you right! Yesterday i just broke down ready to give up overwhelmed at it all but in all of that i thought of you and my tribe that i was blessed to have at the event and that was the only thing motivating me. I just want to say thank you Lisa thank you and then this morning you popped up on my phone God is so good I just know i will not give up and i thank you. I love you Lisa God bless you
Gratitude for Lisa Nichols video and work . Also all the positive and help comments. Blessings
Omg!!!!! This was confirmation for me!!! I have been watching you since I was 18 and I am now 26!!! And this video right here was my video!!! For years I've been giving attention to things I could not change and wonder why I was so miserable and depressed.. just recently I got out of a situation and felt so alone and at that point I realized I needed to pay more attention to me. Find out who I am and what I like. And since then life has been so peaceful. So I know that I am heading in the right direction. Thank you!
You are right Sister Lisa, I have exhausted all my energy to my circle of concern not to circle of influence. Thank you for your advice.
This has been a life changing principal for me. Ever since I started focusing on what I can control rather then what I can't I have realized I have more then enough in my control to play with to make awesome things happen.
Yes ma'am! thanks for sharing
Connecting with women who are very creative and passionate about life has inspire me to want to give my best.
I get anxious at times because I focus too much in my circle of concern. I will now consciously put more energy into my circle of influence. Thank you Lisa:)
Thank you sooo much for your message. It spoke directly to me this morning. My circle of concern has consumed my mind and sprit for an overwhelming amount of time. I have already started the process of moving forwards my circle of influence. That’s why this video spoke into my soul today. So true!
I love you Lisa...just your voice of enthusiasm thrills me to good things.. Ive set up a well being chanel during lockdown to help myself and hopefully others...but this is because of people like you...I still fall off the track a little..I lost my husband and my father in the last few years and was struggling with for some reason regrets..xxx
I thank you for your contribution to this universe..YOU are doing exactly what I've wanted to do all my life..and that is to be a speaker ,teacher , and a best selling author..at the age of 51 ..and 3 grown children I find I have no more excuses..but to just leap...Thank you Lisa for giving me the push I neeed..
My God Lisa this message is so powerful and needed in this moment of my life. " Let go of the things you have no influence over."
I’m going to school in Spain for the next few years but I keep worrying that I’m not going to do well. instead of doing what I need to do (study more, enjoy my final days home) I’m stressing about getting my visa or if I’ll like my roommates, things completely out of my circle of influence. As a result of this talk starting today I’m going to flip the narrative. Lisa you are a god send.
We have the most control over ourselves and what we need to be doing to be the best we can be. It seems like we find it easier to be concerned about other people and things that we can't control and we end up not doing what we need to for ourselves, it's a waste of time. God gives us free will and we often don't even follow the will of God. As I've gotten older I try to have my focus where it needs to be and doing what I can with my influence. Thanks for the reminder.💚
I like to think of Free Will as an option. And no matter what we do with our free will or others with theirs, God or your Higher Power makes a reason for it. Therefore..eventually..everything happens for a reason. Sent with love, tracee
thank u lisa you are like a mother to me ....my circle of influence is having positive mind set ,support each other ..
As a result of this episode, I have learnt to put my energy into what I can create to help my dream become a reality, than focusing on what is in my circle of concern such as my relationship, for awhile it has taken the best part of me, am always trying to do things to make it work but then I completely forget that before the relationship I had goals. so now am putting a challenge to work myself out and pay attention to the experience
thank you lisa....i was always concerned about Why it was not happening..but now i will surely focus on the change required..now i am going to really focus on change not the reason..once again thank you lisa....i am going silver now....
Thanks for this video Lisa! I found them all so useful. I have faced so many rejections that have knocked my confidence. I started to care about other people's thoughts of me, instead of working on my own. I allowed people to betray me and steal my joy and happiness, with their lies and I have struggled to admit that these experiences to myself or deal with them. I found myself broken (and the other B word which I'm struggling to type but you know what I mean) 6 months after an incident when I thought I got over it. I lost my confidence and stopped becoming the woman that I know I am meant to be. I know I have a gift, and so much to offer the world and now that it feels like I am back at square 1, I know I need to focus on what I can change and set myself micro wins until I get to my major win. Your time scheduling advice was a game changer for me and I will be using it to gain more productivity out of each day. Thanks for all of your help! You are my tribe xx
Sue Omar ... hmm. nice one! "micro wins till i get to major wins"... m holding on to that!!
I been very good to me. I have made many changes in my, I called extreme self care. By doing this, my daughters are picking up my good energy. My friends have noticed I look much happier. I watch more what I eat, do more exercises, and most important I change my attitude, from where before I would doubt my self. Now, I say I can do this. And amazing results have happened. I tease my friends I doing therapy. I am focus on improving me first, and then the rest comes!
I have not been loving myself and my writing more. I wrote one poem listening to you. I have decided to shift the focus on Me!!!
Lisa,I have started your exercise of looking at myself in the mirror and saying what I am proud of, forgive myself for and commit to since only 2 days but I have seen so much difference and I would never have thought that these affirmations could come from deep within and be so liberating. I must admit I have been on the path of self-development since a few years now, and I feel somehow a bit differently about some of the things you said because from my experience they were different but I have gained so much from your speeches in just a few days. I am avidly watching your videos, and most of them make me shed a tear. Lots of love. Malikah
From circle of concern to circle of influence. This is a very important invitation. I gladly accept it mummy!!
Lisa, you are my #BOL every conversation has truly been life renewing. The transformation is real! I thank you for you and all that you do. As a result of listening and watching you, all those negative things that I can even think of or say are being erased and replaced. You have really given me a better way to look and handle fear. I can't wait to give a Micro or Macro-Win update. This is my tribe!! YES YES!! I love you too!
You show me to be a game changer and put energy where it must go to grow.
I know these videos have change my life so I email them to people that I know are going through tuff times. Blessings.
Because I have been through so much with my now adult children growing up (illnesses that were or could have been detrimental, mental situations both of us) sometimes it's hard not to live in the circle of concern. Now I have a little one who is the last child and it is difficult dealing with her because I feel like I am going backwards with all of that but on an upscale. Finally finding my peace, purpose and moving forward as I set each goal and move a step further I am finding unbearable obstacles. I have created a room for peace where I go to retreat. I have moved most things to my circle of influence. In doing so I have found that there are somethings that I can not and will not share with some so that I can continue to move forward. I have found that much of what is important to me or that I believe I can accomplish others don't feel the same; including my family who I have been a great supporter for even when they felt that they could not accomplish something. My greatest push is life is tell me that I can not accomplish something, that you think I can't handle a goal that I believe I can and I will show you that I can and defeat you and any doubts that you may have had and tried to instill in me. My greatest game changer of 'YES I CAN!!!!" is to tell me that I can't. This is where my circle of influence becomes 95%. Thank you Lisa your talks and mentoring has been very uplifting.
Thank you for pointing out the difference between our concerns and influences, the things we consume our thoughts with are all concerns and nothing that influences us ... I am taking out those non-life changing concerns and I am going to focus on my influences the things that can further develop the woman I am purpose to be.... thank you Lisa.
I will CHANGE MY FOCUS, so that I FOCUS ON WHAT I CAN CHANGE!...you make me more fearless and Im starting to respect myself, love myself, value myself, care about myself a pinch and an inch every day! Love you Sister for what you do with your motivational words and even for the meaningful silence in between :)
Lisa, as a result of this episode, i hav been able to spin in my column of influence, make my fear my fuel n say yes yes I am.... Thank u so much Lisa.
Watching this has just made me realise that I spend the majority of my time worrying about all the things in my circle of concern, and it’s exhausting! Not to mention seriously unproductive!... I’m now going to try to spend more time in my circle of influence and see what happens! Thank you so much!
I needed to hear this and when I think about it I know I've got more control over my life than I thought I had. I'm now focussing on my physical and mental health before I am going to focus on my career. I want a new fulfilling career. I know that how I stand in my life will affect what kind of career is possible for me. I am 46 and often I feel I missed the boat but then again I know that I can still have good life if I choose right.
OK LISA B.O.L!! First the fact that this was published on my birthday last year speaks volumes to me. Girl you just blew me away. I paused the video to post. By listening to this what I have learned is that I truly cannot give anything that is beyond my control to much energy. I know we're all on our separate journey, but when you said your ex, your sister or your mother? You just got right in my space. Confirmed! I hear you and thank you! I know now that I am on the right track. I just needed to hear it. Im choosing to make me a priority not based on anyone else's approval but my own. #LovemesomeLisa @LisaNichols
I love you so much Lisa Nichols ❤️ god bless you I appreciate your existence and light I adore you mother😘
the great i am spirit is getting strong. vibration is up stronger then ever
Lisa thank you. I have been watching you daily for 2,weeks,now,and my focus is shifting. I heard you and a,collaborative group back in 2004 to 2006. Since 2002 I started to shift. Each year it,gets more,challenged but my strength,and,goals are bigger. I want to,thank you for,your life. Your down, real and raw. Its how I live,and,no sugar coating about it!

I first heard you speak during Go Pro and fell in love with you and your messages right away. You speak with passion and truth which helps me so much. Love you.
Lisa, thank you so much for posting this.
This was a breakthrough video for me. You talked about what's in our circle of influence. And how much we worry about things outside of it that we can't control. It was easy for me to identify plenty of things I worry about that I have no control over. But when it came to things that I actually do have some control over I had to really stop and ask myself what are those things? What is in my circle of influence? I started to make a list.
My kids and family
My co workers
My job
My home environment
My health
My finances
To name a few.
Essentially the people I see, the places I go, the things I do.
And then begin to redirect energy toward those things instead of the useless worry. Like what can I do to enhance my home environment? To make it a more comfortable place for myself and my family. What can I do to manage my money better and start saving more. Or how can I bring more love and connection to my relationships with family and friends? These are some areas where I can actually take action and make a difference.
Lisa, I am so inspired by your videos. Thank you so much for all the good you are sharing with the world!!
right now i..change my focus ... 100 percent to the circle of influence..
all my life ive been paying bills and meeting ends..thinking too much about this..and once achieve this target..i m so exhausted to think any thing creative.... ive realized ..even though i dont think about bills ..ill still pay them.. this process is involuntary... so let me move on.. and make a new choice..and from now on it is the circle of influence .. all in my power and grace . i promise to shine bright ..not dimming my light YES and a bigger YES for the divine assignment .
love and respect
Thanks Lisa, this is an amazing videos and because of it, by God's grace, my life is changed, forever! Amen!
That is so true. I try not too focus on people I cant relate. And not everyone shares your views, so I find topics to talk about that I can agree with others.
7 habit of highly effective people is a book that has helped Me to focus on what I give emotional growth but your insight has made it another level for me
Wow! This really spoke me. I don't take notes, but I drew 2 circles in my journal - a big one for influence, and one for concern ( hint: it's smaller)
What a wonderful reminder to focus my energy. Thank you x1000000 🔥🔥🔥
I totally needed to hear this. I am going through a transformation right now in my life. I had weight loss surgery and my body is not the only thing going through it. My mind is a battlefield. I'm in an area that is new and a little overwhelming to be honest. The looks, the comments from men and women are a little unsettling. It's like I'm being bombarded with all this attention. It's like they are forcing me into conversation. I prefer being in the background. But the visual me sparks conversation. I have to compartmentalize what's real.
There are people in everyone's lives that fall into the circle of concern and we can't do anything about them but watch... I have been in the same place and your video has made me just learn to turn my back on them and focus on better things like family my health and my business... Thank u Lisa this video is a big BOL for me...
Yes, yes, yes! I’m glad to know I am on the right track.. 😀
Lisa whenever I get down I go to youtube and listen to one of your videos and as a result, it has helped me to stay in the positive and keep fighting for my dreams. There are days when I thought about just giving up but your story keeps me going and keeps me fighting. Thank you so very much for being the truth!
I love you too.. I so needed to here this. i tend to get stuck on things that I have no control over and end up with no progress and Every thing around suffered. I am making a commitment to myself to work harder on things that I have influence over. thank you Lisa
YANA! I love the circle of Influence move. I have wasted time wanting to change my family members. I just need to put more effort on my ability to succeed, than what others decide to do with their lives. I let them make their choices! They can learn from my success!!!!
Never heard of the circle of influence or concern, but you know you gave me something to think about because I'm on this journey of learning more about myself and i believe that this would help.
Thank you
#BOL!!! Circle of influence vs. Circle of concern! I have never thought of the time I spent concerned with whether my mom and siblings getting along as a waste of my time and energy now i realize the time would be better spent in my circle of influence.... damn. Instead of worrying or trying to change anything I'm going to use the energy to connect with them anyway I can. Cards, kind texts, phone calls and visits so no matter what anyone else is doing my relationships are fed because that I can influence!
Lisa! BOL all the way today! I was mind-blown when I realized I have been giving all of my focus and energy towards my concerns. And then I would give my concerns details and make them real?! When you reminded me that my energy and focus can go towards my influence I was so excited! I have so much beautiful things in my life and people to influence and grow with but I lack giving them my focus, love and energy. I am so excited to push reset and begin to influence MY beautiful life and others by being my authentic self! With love, faith, and confidence💞👏👀👌💁 Thank you soooooo much Sister💗 for your courage and wisdom that you share! Know you have blessed me and may the lord be with you! 😊👏🙏💃🏃
You can reach me @sgc_dale (IG)
I definitely desire to live and operate more from circle of influences. Trying to be at a place of no control is draining and laying those burdens down is a pleasure. The consistency, for me, is key. I love how you said do it bit by bit like 20% here and then, add on
Hello Lisa when I listened to How To Step into Your Purpose that was my very first time ever hearing you speak... When you said I want to touch you soul you did just that and you said That there was a calling on MY LIFE THAT I DON'T GET TO SHACK the tears started to flow I always knew I was great I just didn't knew how to get there. You also said something else that resigned with and that You didn't know what you didn't know I was like what the what. But since then I have been trying to figure ME OUT AND IN DOING SO I'M FALLING IN LIVE WITH ME. Thank You I look forward to meeting you real soon
Renita Gold
This really changed my perception. I suffer from Anxiety. I have some much-wasted energy in my circle of concern. I cannot wait to make my list. I want to see and focus more on my circle of influence.
Kristi Williams I can relate...be encouraged🙏
Listening to you before I lay my head down always inspires and encourages me. My aha moment was when you talked about looking at your "circle of influence" and how much time you spend there compared to the "circle of concerns". I realize I need to put or increase my time in the circle of influence. With that in mind, I can move forward with my dreams to soon become my reality and the world's.
Thank you Lisa. I choose to focus on my circle of influence.
You always have a way of speaking to me, like you are saying the words to me. I've recently showed my mother some of these videos, and I'm glad to say that she is changing her ways. Sometimes you just need a little breakthrough ♡
Thank u Lisa, I am going to start working on me, I’m tired of given concern on my ex boyfriend. It’s been taken all my energy and it leaves me drained !! I’m moving on, focusing on my life purpose !! Thanks again and my God continue to bless u so u can continue to bless others.. #BOL 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you Lisa, I'm grateful that I found your interview about your struggles, depression and how you overcame it. Your story made me strong, so inspiring. After watching that, I decided,I gave a word to myself, I won't be that broken again.
#BOL Ive been struggling with trying to balance my life with other peoples concerns, problems, and issues, almost to the point that I don't leave any energy for myself. After listening to your video Lisa, I came to the conclusion that you are so right! I need to let go of all the things that I cannot control, and focus on things that I can, for myself. I promise myself from now on I'm going to treat my time and energy as a rare diamond, rather than a free sample. I believe I can do so much more by focusing my energy on myself, and what I have influence over, just like you said.
Thank you so much Lisa!
Thank you for defining circle of concern vs. circle of influence.now I’ll moving into a better and bigger circle . Stepping into a circle where I am in control!
Lisa, in my life I have always had a concern list, but no list of influence. Thank you for sharing this.
BOL OMG BOL. I have been focusing WAY TO MUCH TIME on my circle of concern and neglecting my circle of influence.
I suffer from depression and anxiety. This video helped me to start thinking about how I can change my life. I'm depressed because of not following my dream of entrepreneurship. Everyday I think it's got to be something better.
Marquette you are not alone. Blessings sister. WE can do it!
Keep listening and it will change your life. Do not give up on your dreams
Marquette Hello! You are so not alone. I too have been in that place, but I made up my mind to follow my dreams/passions. We are just here for a time. Follow your heart. The hardest thing is to start, but wants you do things will fall into place. Be encouraged!
Hi Marquette, Absolutely watch Lisa's video called "Lisa Nichols on Rescuing Yourself, Overcoming Fear, and Finding Success By Serving Others." It has great keys to success that you can follow and be successful. You can do it!
depression is what am fighting too. need double dose of positive messages. stay away from negative people. like a plague.
Thank you , this content gave me so much peace of heart and mind thank you
Lisa as a result of this video I truely believe I can get a great score in my university exams as it is my circle of influence. Thank u
Thank you so much Lisa! You inspire me so much! Your videos do so much for me. Continue to motivate the masses because WE ARE LISTENING. God bless you sister!
No big comment. Just THANK YOU. THIS IS RIGHT ON TIME. I will keep you posted. 😉
You're amazing and so transparent. So my circle of concerns has been trying to teach others how to change their perception about different situations that brings harm to their lives when in fact they are already adamant about their choices. I am moving that engery to my circle of influence. Where I will pursue my purpose unaplogically . This will in the end workout for everyone's good. Since my cup will then be full enough to run over and share. Thank you. Oh yeah, that statement of listening not to hear but to hear the need behind what is being said is priceless. Thanks for the Jewel, Jewel.
