As you pause to reflect on the people and things that have made a lasting impression on your life, you will no doubt realise how much the choices you make on a daily basis are impacted by this lasting impression. Your preferences, tastes, standards, values, morals and life become a mirror of all these various experiences. They help to form your beliefs and become a great part of the passion and fuel that drives you.
These may be words uttered that have changed your life or deeds done that paints a picture on your mind.
These could be:
A family member
A friend
A stranger
A leader
A group
A boss/manager
A Teacher
An act of kindness
A bird, a flower, a moment
An experience, an event
Someone’s care and interest your success
Words
Music
Movies
The moon
A poem
A message
An elder
A baby
A child
A graphic image
Lasting impressions help to mold our trends in life, yes you are a part of someone’s lasting impressions and yes I am a part of someone’s lasting impressions.
I recall some years ago watching a movie that ended at 1am, horrified by how it ended and how one of the characters died, I switched off the TV and went to bed. But for another 2 and a half hours I laid flat on my back still tormented over the graphic ending of the movie.
A lasting impression was made on my mind; I have since learned how to clear my thoughts before retiring to bed.
Unlike this bad experience, there are more pleasurable lasting impressions happening in my life every day. Do you have any?
