By George Matthew Adams (1913)

Just as soon as you begin to Think or Do something, you begin to have Influence. Influence is something you can’t keep at home. And when it gets away from you, you can never call it back. Your Influence makes you Something of Somebody else.

Influence has no boundaries. Once started, though it may seem ever so trifling, yet it may have as its destination the farthermost comers of the Earth. If you would get a conception of Power, realize the Influence of a Strong Man. It is well to remember that what you have that you can’t help but give away is your Influence. Bear in mind that your Influence is never wholly absorbed, nor does it disappear into Nothingness. It Counts again and again.

Influence has no end. The three greatest objects in life — Friends, Happiness, Success — are each dependent upon proper Influence. So it is good to know that even the humblest person is, after all, master of his own Influence. He can send it out to scatter Sunshine or Shadows. It’s his Choice. A man’s greatest Responsibility in this world lies in the way he acquires and gives out — his Influence.

Your Influence to-day is sure to have a tremendous bearing upon the total work of the world. Your Influence upon other people and the Influence of other people upon you is sure to become a Force and a Factor in the complete work of your day and theirs. See that your Influence is kept true and wholesome and it will return to refresh you, again and again.
