Understanding the Human Nature as a Means for Influence...
Hello, dear Steemians!
How can we influence other people to make the right choice and live a better life? Often enough, we see people who could really use some thoughtful improvement, but they would refuse the advance of our thoughts regarding their life.
What do you do in a situation like that?
I remember that I once had a friend who really needed to shake things up in his life and turn the page, but he refused to listen to my advice. Years went by and still he couldn’t bring himself to listen to my words and take heed of my wisdom.
Not that I was particularly wise, but I did know what I was talking about, and I had been in the place where he was. What I learned from that experience is that things are easier said that done, as the old saying goes.
If you want to influence others in life, or really yearn for a change in the way of society, you need to first learn how to change your own perspective and actions. People do not want to hear about success, they want to see success.
When we take a look at the human nature, we begin to realize that over-the-top view hardly ever works and preaching will not get you anywhere. However, you can become a role model of a healthy and successful life.
You can become a role model for aspiring dreamers. Only then will you start to truly influence their lives and change their mindset.
How do we know this about human nature?
Imagine a child whose parents are always shouting instructions at him and growing him with a set of principles that are always explained by the way of words.
That child might go on to show stubbornness to their orders and resist against their instructions. The psychological reason behind this is that the child cannot fathom the consequences and results of following their orders.
He cannot wreathe meaning and logic to their words, and that is why he decides to not listen to them.
Were the parents to simply show him how he must behave or make decisions, and were he to simply see the outcome of this wisdom, he would decide to follow it inadvertently and without direct confrontation.
That is the same about influencing all the other people who are in your life. When you preach about what success means and how one can achieve it, your audience will only have your words for comprehension, but when they actually see it, they will start to take you and your words much more seriously.
People follow actions, not words. Actions inspires, while words simply gratify. If you want to influence other people and their lives, make a change in your own life and let yourself become an embodiment of that change.
Achieve success, and see how all those who are around you will be inspired by your words and actions to take steps for their own lives.
A BIG HUG!
