In Influencing and Being Influenced: A Non-Ending Story, author Adrian Gabriel Dumitru explores the invisible dynamics that shape every human experience. Available on Amazon, Google Play Books, and Apple Books, this reflective work examines how our thoughts, emotions, and expectations subtly influence the world around us — and how, in turn, we are constantly influenced by the energies of others.
Dumitru begins with a simple question: Are we truly free, or are we shaped by forces we barely understand? He proposes that life is an endless exchange — a dance between giving and receiving, influencing and being influenced. Every emotion we project creates a ripple that returns to us in new forms. When we repeat patterns of fear or limitation, those patterns reappear as if life itself mirrors our mindset. The only way to change the story, he suggests, is to shift perspective.
The essays move fluidly between psychology and spirituality, using poetic imagery to illustrate profound truths. Dumitru writes that we often try to change reality while holding onto the same energy that created it. Yet transformation begins not in the outer world, but within — in the subtle vibration of thought and belief. By observing our reactions and expectations, we learn to rewrite the “scripts” that define our experiences.
He explains that influence is not manipulation; it is resonance. The energy we send into the world — whether love, anger, or fear — shapes what comes back to us. Similarly, by staying open and mindful, we allow ourselves to be positively influenced by people and situations that reflect our growth. Life, in this view, is an ongoing conversation between our inner state and the outer world.
What makes Influencing and Being Influenced powerful is its accessibility. Dumitru doesn’t claim to hold absolute truths; he simply invites readers to become more aware of their energetic exchanges. Each page feels like a meditation, gently guiding us to recognize how perception creates experience. He reminds us that awareness itself is influence — that by changing our attitude, we inevitably change reality.
Ultimately, the book is an invitation to conscious living. It teaches that we are never passive participants in life’s unfolding, but active co-creators of its flow. The moment we accept this, the story of our lives stops repeating — and begins to transform.
