Imagine having influence on another,
What a powerful tool or weapon to have.
Knowing that just your being can cause
Another to fall to their knees and beg,
To induce someone to strive for more,
To encourage a body to find their best self.
Imagine how that power feels, how it
Makes you puffed up, or perhaps,
Overwhelmed with responsibility.
Just imagine.
No thanks. I like my ego a lot smaller than that.

This is more about how others can influence us when we allow it. And I agree, no one should have such an ego…but they exist. Sometimes as simple as a mother over her adult children, sometimes it’s a good thing like a personal trainer modeling good habits. However, there is such a push these days around “influencers”, it makes me wary when the power is used to manipulate in a negative way.
