#UnBlockYourself 427 Wabikigai in your influence
One of my favorite mentors John C. Maxwell says, “Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.”
One of our many purposes in being in this life at this moment in time is to impact our circle of influence, blessing those who God has put in our path.
Wabikigai is a made up word consisting of 3 philosophies:
Influence has its place within all of these.
Wabi Sabi: When you break down the concept of wabi sabi you get:
Wabi - Simplistic, minimalistic design to provide what you need.
Sabi - The beauty in aging, and uniqueness of something.
This is the internal influence, the things we see, do, and hear that influences us. The things that have influenced and are influencing us shapes what we will be doing to and for others.
Ichigo Ichie: Once in a life time moments. The time we spend within our hearts and in intimate company with others. This is were we build the energy to influence ourselves and others. This is were we build strength in relationships eternally, internally, and externally.
Ikigai: Living a full life through purpose. This is our external influence at work. This is how we impact our circle of influence and the world by just being ourselves, doing what we were called to do. For some it may be preaching the gospel, for others, it could be teaching your kids how to fish. Both relate to your influence, and both could have a lasting impression that could impact the receiver’s generations long after them. What we do here and now, carries weight. If you are intentional, you are intentionally making a difference to change the future of the world!
