No one wants to come to the end of their life with nothing to show for it. We do not want to look back at our last 50 years and wonder what good came of it. We should desire to see that we have had a positive impact on others and see the value we have brought to the world. We should want to know that our life mattered-that what we did and who we were in life made a dramatic difference, adding value to the people who surrounded us throughout our years here on Earth.

Each of us was created to leave a footprint throughout our journey called life. Who we are today is created by who we had around us yesterday, the day before that and the one before that. We are a collection of the influences we have had in our lives. Understanding this truth is why I believe I was meant to teach you about the importance of your influence from others and on others. We were created to leave this world a little different than how it was when we came into it. Follow me through a collection of information that will increase the level of influence you have in your life. Given the right amount of time, education and experience, you will realize the role you were meant to play. As a faithful follower of Christ, you are made to be a leader and an influencer. Today must be the day that you step forward and accept who God created you to be. The information in this book will help you succeed in doing all of this. For this reason and many more, I want to take a journey with you through the pages of Scripture. You will discover practical things that you can do each day to increase the level of influence you have on this world.
