Based on the feedback received from various readers from my previous article on this topic, I am inspired to write more! Everybody who is alive in this world would definitely want to solve the problems faced in this professional/personal life and the more deeply we go in search of the answers, the better it is of course.  The precious pearl does not float on the surface of the sea but it is at the deepest depths!

Continuing from where we left off..

In the last article I had explained about the principle that we should make it a habit to operate from the circle of our influence on a ‘consistent basis’. Just defining the ‘circle of influence’ again - It is the tiny circle of our self about which we have complete control. It’s the circle that we can do something about.  If consistent action is taken in your circle of influence, it has no choice but to become bigger and reduce the circle of your concern. This is the exact strategy adopted by all the leaders of the world before they became ‘great’.

In a spiritual sense, all the messengers of “GOD” who have visited the planet earth started off from the small circle of influence just with few disciples around them. Jesus had just 13 disciples.  Over a period of time we all know how their circle of influence expanded! The same strategy needs to be adopted by us at the personal level if we need to make our lives better from what it is today.

For an individual to bring sweeping changes(over a period of time) in a organization, he should work on the order of personal excellence first, interpersonal next and then organizational level. This is so called the “inside-out” approach which is the “BEST” way that produces the BEST results. Of course we need to have the patience to go with this.
