You may not ever know how much you have impacted other people’s lives. But if you ever find out, it can be an incredibly overpowering feeling.
Imagine that your comment inspired a child to study medicine and find a treatment for a disease. Or perhaps, given your confidence during a fire drill, a teenager decided to dedicate their life to firefighting and saving lives.
Or your kindness in a tense situation made other people aware it was possible and they multiplied this treatment of others, forward, for decades.
Usually we don’t get to see the depth of our wake. But in those rare moments when we are shown, or we have the good fortune to catch a glimpse, it can make the world seem so valuable and our lives worthwhile.
