Who is the most influential person in your life? I don't mean some celebrity or world leader. I mean someone you know personally who has played an influential role in your life. For me, it is my husband. He is always there for me, and I can talk to him about anything. He doesn't judge me, he listens to what I have to say, and then shares his thoughts on it. He is always there to support me in whatever I wish to do, along with pushing me a harder if he knows I can do it. So whom is the person for you?

Thank you for your response zabawaus. I'm sorry you and your sister are now seperated, but as long as you two have a line of communication between you both, she will always be there for you I'm sure.

I do look up to a lot of people, including my mother & my father (my dad passed away almost 4 yrs ago however but he is still a large part of who I am). However, the most influencial person in my life, I'd have to say, is ME! I make my own decisions, I decide if I'm going to have a good day or not & I am the one person who controls my own path in life. Of course, there are some days when I feel like I have absolutely no control over my life, but on good days like today I KNOW I do! :)

koalatbs, Hello. I have to say I absolutely love your response. You bring up such a very valid point, the choice of yourself being the most influential person in your life, is by far the greatest answer their is. I guess I just wasn't looking at it that way. Thank you for you insight.
