I’m sure you’ve heard of Six Degrees of Separation, where everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth. So on the 6th level of “Friend’s Friend”, you are basically connected to the whole world.

Even if the world is shrinking, you can only meaningfully connect to a handful of people. I call this your personal Sphere of Influence. Everyone has a unique set of people which they will influence over the course of their lives. You must be thinking, that’s definitely not me, because I’m not a dominant person and I’m always a follower. Most people would say this but fail to realize that everything you say or do, how you react and just being you; a little bit of you will rub off to the people around you.

Realizing that would make you ponder if you’re being a good influence to those around you. Why don’t you try to up the ante and try to make a lasting, life changing and meaningful impression on those within your sphere of influence. I’m sure the world would be a step closer to being a better place when everyone stops being too self absorbed and takes a step to make a positive change.
