Surround yourself with goodness . . . .

Dear Influential Girl,

It's so important to surround yourself with the right kinds of people when you are striving to live a meaningful life. We can not always choose who we walk with on our paths in life, but whenever we can, it makes everything easier, more joyful and so much more productive when we choose to spend our days with people who bring out the best in us, see the best in us, and believe the best about us.

Seek out people who make you want to become better, people who leave you feeling better when you spend time with them...people who are focused on positive and good things.

It will inevitably rub off on you and before you know it, YOU will be the one that others are seeking out because YOU are leaving everyone better, happier, and more hopeful than they were before you found them.

You are SO MUCH more influential than you realize. Thank you for using it in such wonderful ways.

You are so very loved.
