Any lessons my friend?
Simply put we are all influenced by two forces, external and internal.
✔External forces
This includes opinions from family, relatives, friends, colleagues, society, social media and most importantly, the environment.
These external factors rarely bring happiness to you.
Your thoughts progress towards negative feelings (because of comparisons) resulting in unhappiness and mostly end in jealousy, depression and self-destruction.
External impacts naturally control your decision making and thus you are influenced.
“Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by ” opinions” when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking” Napoleon Hill
Here the problem is with your mind. You are allowing others to control your mind.
This is where your strength comes from your inner forces.
✔Inner forces
My friend, you are extra special ( title of this post) and an extra ordinary human being and you know what is best for you.
It’s the time you listen to your inner voice.
This one forewarns you, guides you and brings you bliss.
With your inherent good qualities with a positive attitude and constantly listening to the inner voice, you are sure to reach the pinnacle of your life.
You can understand the problems properly thus making the right decisions to achieve success in your life.
“Practice listening to your intuition, your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear, and then act upon what you know to be true. These intuitive powers were given to your soul at birth” Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Thank you for your visit.
Take care, my friend.
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏

I like the quote by unknown source. We look at life from a more optimistic perspective, dear Philo. It says in “Ethics of our Fathers” that people we meet are mirrors of ourselves. In other words, our internal force, our attitudes, and our approach is reflected in people we encounter. We have to work on our own personalities and choose external influences very carefully, avoiding negativity and striving for inspiration.

Well said Dolly.
So beautifully you have added clarity to my otherwise a complicated narration.
And external influences can be good only to some extent.
