Good morning and welcome

to your morning cereal.

Okay, good morning and

welcome to Wednesday.

It is midweek and today is grandma day.

It's a celebration of wisdom, of warmth

and snacks you didn't ask for

but you absolutely

need it as a kiddo, right?

Well, pick up the phone

or give your grandma a hug

if you're lucky enough

to still have her around

or just take a moment to

remember how special she was.

Okay, yesterday's

trivia answer, the alpaca.

The animal closely related

to the llama is the alpaca.

And now the essential

vitamins in your morning cereal.

Today's quote is from birthday girl

turning 50 today, Spice Girl Emma Button,

who said, quote, "Be kind to yourself.

"It's a lifelong relationship."

End quote.

So don't forget to treat

yourself with the same care,

the same patience and compassion

that you would offer a loved one.

You will be your longest relationship.

All right, you have heard

more than enough from me.

So let's pour in the let

them theory by Mel Robbins.

And today we're wrapping

up chapter 15 with a summary

of unlock the power of your influence.

Now Robbins brings

this whole chapter home

by reminding us that

influence is not loud.

It's not aggressive.

It's not controlling.

True influence is quiet.

It's consistent.

And it's rooted in

self-respect saying, quote,

"The most powerful influence you have

"is how you live your life."

End quote.

And Mel reinforces that

people are not persuaded

by lectures.

In fact, they're inspired by examples.

When you stop trying to fix others

and focus on your own alignment,

something then begins

to shift saying, quote,

"People don't follow words.

"They follow energy.

"They follow behavior."

End quote.

So this chapter, it's

also emphasizing patience.

Influence doesn't happen overnight.

It's built through repetition,

through boundaries and

emotional steadiness.

Robbins explains that, quote,

"The moment you stop chasing approval

"is the moment your influence grows."

End quote.

And she encourages

readers to release outcomes.

Influence is not control.

It's invitation.

When you trust people

to find their own way,

you show respect to them.

And that respect, it builds trust.

So summarizing this chapter reminds us

that influence starts

with self-leadership.

The way you manage stress,

the way you manage disappointment

and setbacks in your own life,

that becomes a

blueprint that others observe.

All right, your Wednesday takeaway is,

influence grows when

you focus on becoming,

not convincing.

So today, remember, wisdom doesn't rush.

It shows up when it's needed the most.

And now, the prize from

the bottom of the cereal box,

the morning cereal

trivia question of the day.

How many years ago did

dinosaurs go extinct?

All right, we will see

you back here tomorrow

for that answer and for

more sugar for the soul.

And until then, have a fantastic day.
