#14 Influence

INFLUENCE. acrylic and pen on sketching paper 160gsm. A5. 3rd Jan 2022.

The invitation today is to reflect on the spheres that influence our lives, and we are all part of so many different circles which makes it hard for us to find an identity.
How much of our identities is being influenced and how much truly is our own as much of our behaving and thinking is copied from someone else in some ways.
When did influence even start, what does it mean from the referential of the universe or consciousness?
And maybe, how can we use our influence positively to generate a harmonious environment around us so it influences us posively in return?

The small red circle moves where it is being attracted/distracted. Because it is the centre of attention, the blood of life dancing between light and shadow, everything around it follows its movement and adjusts until the red dot is concentrated and can focus.

Whatever we observe influences us (as it becomes memory) and through us, the circles we are part of.
The advice today is to decide wisely of what we choose to observe and focus on. Learning to distinguish the necessary from the unnecessary is essential for the health of the wider circle.
