Influence Others
Dear Friend,
Raphael painted the attention-holding fresco called, The School of Athens. For this painting, he selected men he considered most influential in philosophy and science. I wonder who you would choose if you had the assignment to select the ten most influential people in your life. I also wonder if anyone would select you to be in their painting of the ten most influential people in their lives.
At the beginning of this New Year each of us has the opportunity to set goals and establish new life patterns. If we do this well, we live empowered lives that influence people in our homes, workplaces and communities. I encourage you to live the adventure of faith, be a force for good and inspire those around you to live life to its fullest potential.
Let’s paint frescos of faith, hope and love
on the souls of the good people around us.
