E20: THANK THE DIFFERENCE MAKERS • Check out the new Gratitude Everyday Podcast by clicking the link in our account bio . I think that the people we have in our lives help us in two ways. . The first is that we are lucky to have people who are good influences. Those people encourage, motivate, and lead by example. I’ve been lucky to have a number of these people in my life. Men, women, and peers who make a positive difference in my life every single day. . The second is that we encounter people who are bad influences. Those people are negative, they drag you down, and are stagnant. I’ve come across a fair number of these people too. . The thought for me today is that I have the potential to be on both sides of that equation to everyone I encounter throughout my day. I’m trying hard to be on the first side with each person I interact with and to encourage those on the second side. -@mj.wheaton . Please feel free to share either today’s quote, or your goals.
