I believe the best influence you can have is not by being preachy, but by trying to live. For example, knowing you're not perfect, but trying to treat everyone kind and accepting everyone for who they are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't preach or try to impress my views upon people.
The most effective way to preach the gospel is through example. If we live according to our beliefs, people will notice.
Preach not because you have to say something, but because you have something to say.
Consciously be sensitive to others, and try to elevate their level of consciousness. Don't do this by being preachy and telling them that they 'should' do this or that. Do it by raising your own level of energy and recognizing what's best in others.
I'm not out to preach. I just live my own life. I'm very happy if I can help somebody - that's wonderful. But it's up to them what they want to think about it or what they want to take away; it's their business, not mine.
I've been known to preach.
You don't have to be a 'person of influence' to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me.
I don't want to preach to people.
The people that you have around you are your biggest influence.
I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do.
