There are many messages in today’s quote, but perhaps the most compelling is that no one lives their life in a vacuum or in isolation to others. Others are part of the fabric of your life, and so can influence your journey through life.

Although we tend to acknowledge the people in our more intimate circles – family, friends, a few of our colleagues, etc. – who can have an impact on your life, the truth is that fleeting interactions are also shaping the course of your life. Many of these interactions tend to be benign, and so you overlook them… until something happens that you did not expect. And it is only then that you begin to realise the kind of impact people you do not know, or who might have been on the periphery of your life, can have on how your life and future unfold.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• To what degree do I believe I am control my life?
• How aware am I of the impact people can have on my life?
• How aware am I of the impact I am having in the lives of others?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
