Pivotal People.

"You have encountered hundreds, maybe even thousands , of people in your life who have had an impact, yet research has shown that there are as few as five truly pivotal people who have left indelible impressions on your concept of self and therefore the life you live.
Pivotal people can be found in unexpected places and in unexpected stages of your life. They may include someone you encountered today. Perhaps they entered your life for a short time before moving on, yet you still carry, today, the effects of that encounter. They may open up opportunities you didnt know existed or unravel for you a problem you thought had no solution. They can be people who love you when you are not very lovable.
Who are the five pivotal people in your life? Who are the five people who have shaped the self concept that controls your life today, both positive and negative? Who has written on the "slate of you"? "
