Influence only happens when something means something. After all, if something is meaningless, it might get our attention for a moment, but it doesn’t influence us. It doesn’t stay with us. When something means something to us, it affects our emotions and our actions.

The meaningfulness of something affects our degree of feeling. The more meaningful it is, the more emotions we will have about it. Influence is the ability to affect what something means.

Ask yourself:

• What docs what I am saying and doing mean to this person?
• What else could it mean?
• What could I do to encourage that?
