The Law to Success Program: Relationship Mastery and Influence
We all want better relationships. Whether those relationships are with a friend, family member, or significant other,, whoever we deal with, we want the best possible relationship with them. And one of the best ways to have the best possible relationships with other people is to understand the difference between influence and control. Most people don’t realize the distinction between the two, but it makes huge difference in relationships. Keep reading to find out why.
Every time you interact with someone, you influence them, and they influence you. If you think about this for a moment you’ll realize it is true. Anything you do or say with or to another person influences them in some way. It may make them happy, or sad, or confused, or angry, but every time with interact with anyone, both of us are affected in some way. Even if (particularly if) you completely ignore someone, that lack of response affects the way the other person things and feels. If you’re going to master the fine art of having great relationships, you need to get it firmly embedded in your head that every time you interact with someone, you influence them in some way, and they influence you.
Then there’s control. Ponder this one for a bit and you’ll realize that you can’t really control anyone else. You may have all sorts of ways to try and get someone to do what you want (to influence their behavior), but you can’t control them. You can’t make them do something if they are really determined not to do it. So you influence someone whenever you interact with them, but you can never force them to do anything.
So many people get this wrong. They try to control relationships and force others to do what they want, whether the other party wants to or not. Things would work much better, and be much more pleasant for everyone involved, if people used their influence to get results instead of trying to control things. You can’t force someone to like you. If anything, even trying to do so will likely influence them negatively. On the other hand, you can use your interactions with others to try and influence them to see things your way, and perhaps do what you want them to do. If you try to influence people rather than control them, your relationships are sure to be better and we’re more likely to get the results we want than if we try to control our relationships. The most successful people grasp the difference between influencing an relationship and controlling it, why is a major part of why they are successful people.
