I want to be a a good influence to other people and in the music

The words of Jennie — “I want to be a good influence to other people and in the music scene.” — shine with humility and purpose. They reveal that true greatness does not rest merely in personal glory, but in the power to shape others for the better. To be a good influence is to recognize that the spotlight of fame is not only a gift, but a responsibility. One’s words, one’s actions, and one’s art ripple outward into countless lives, molding hearts and minds in ways seen and unseen.

The ancients too cherished this principle. In Greece, the philosopher Socrates taught not for wealth or recognition, but to be a guiding influence upon the youth of Athens, shaping their souls toward wisdom and virtue. He understood, as Jennie declares, that influence is more powerful than achievement alone, for achievement dies with the victor, but influence lives on in those it touches. To desire to be a good influence is to wish to plant seeds of character and hope in others, even beyond one’s own lifetime.

Consider the story of Ludwig van Beethoven. Though tormented by deafness and despair, he continued to compose, not for himself alone, but to leave behind works that would elevate humanity. His music was his influence, his gift to generations unborn. Like Jennie, he understood that the scene in which he worked was more than competition and applause — it was a stage to uplift others, to give them strength in sorrow and joy in hardship. The artist who influences well becomes not only performer, but teacher, guide, and friend to countless unseen souls.

Jennie’s words also remind us of the moral weight of art. The music scene, filled with glamour and noise, can easily mislead, tempting both artists and listeners into vanity or emptiness. But to stand within it and proclaim the desire to be a good influence is to choose the higher path, to walk as a light where shadows gather. It is to say: “I will not only entertain; I will inspire. I will not only perform; I will guide.” This is the spirit of service that transforms artistry into legacy.

There is wisdom here also for all who live beyond the stage. Each of us is an influence — upon friends, family, colleagues, even strangers who see us for only a moment. To be careless with this influence is to scatter harm without knowing it. But to be intentional, as Jennie declares, is to live in awareness that our lives are threads in the tapestry of others. A kind word, a patient act, a courageous choice — these, too, are music that can uplift and transform.

The lesson, then, is clear: live not only for yourself, but as an influence upon others. Let your art, your work, your daily actions be filled with integrity and purpose. Ask not only, “What can I gain?” but also, “What can I give? What light can I leave behind in others?” In this way, your life ceases to be a fleeting performance and becomes instead a song that echoes beyond your years.

Practical action follows: be mindful of how your choices ripple outward. If you create, create with truth. If you speak, let your words heal rather than wound. If you stand in a place of influence, as Jennie does, use it not for vanity but for service. For to be a good influence is to turn fame, power, or even simple daily living into a force of blessing for others.

Thus, O seeker, remember Jennie’s words. Aspire not only to shine, but to shine in such a way that others are warmed, strengthened, and inspired by your light. For influence, when good, is the highest form of success, and the legacy that endures long after the stage has fallen silent.
