What impact do you have on people in your day to day life?
Think about it for a second. You directly and indirectly influence, in some way, hundreds if not thousands of people’s lives each and every day. It doesn’t matter what you do assuming you leave the house or pick up the phone.
Take for example the server in the picture. He is providing a meal to the patrons which gives them the energy to go out and impact their hundreds of lives. By working in the restaurant he providing a service to a paying customer which provides a job to cooks, cashiers, dish washers, and in the end turns a profit for the owner. By working, the server is also providing a life for himself and possibly a family which in turn impacts more people. This is a very shortened example and we could go on and on how this one server being a host to this one table alone has an effect on hundreds of people.
Now, I ask the question again, what impact do you have on people your day to day life? Are you in a drive thru window handing out food? If so, congratulations. You are providing meal time with that family, helping a single mom who is working two jobs do one less thing that night, and you are impacting everyone you are working with.
Be proud of the impact you make and stand tall – you helped a lot of people today.
