Name Five People who Changed Your Life

As the new year arrives, this gives us the time
to think about our dreams, aspirations, and wishes for
the days ahead. While this is important, there is also
another factor that we don't always think about and
that is the people in our past and the people today
who have or continue to have influences in our life.

Try to think of the five most influential people that
have made you who you are today. It could be your
parents, or one parent, siblings, minister, rabbi,
school teacher, friend , relatives such as uncles,
aunts,cousins, grandparents or neighbors. Many people
go back to their childhood. My family was very
religious so my parents taught us Christian values,
honesty, forgiveness, and hope. My mother
especially influenced my life to the point that I still
call her everyday of her life for understanding,
sometimes guidance and certainly to make sure that
she is happy and satisfied daily with her own life.

I had teachers who helped change my life with guidance
and directives that put me on my life path.

This year take a few minutes to think about the people
who have mostly influenced your life and as you reminisce
,think about how they changed you, or how their influence
made you what or who you are today. Make a list of the
five people that changed your life or influenced your life.
If they are still living call them up and tell them what a
difference they made. Let them know that you appreciate
them taking the interest in you and that you just wanted
to call them, write them, email them telling them how much
they mean to you. Not only will you brighten their day, you
will feel good that you took the time to let them know how
you feel. If they have passed on, continue their journey for
them by passing along what they taught you to someone in
your life that you can influence and help change their life.
If we all work together to help one another and take the time
to thank our friends and relatives that helped us, what
a wonderful new years resolution and what a wonderful 2009
that the whole world will have. Or at least all the people in
your world.
