"One man's life touches so many others, when he's not there it leaves an awfully big hole."
~It's A Wonderful Life
Ever since I first heard that quote, it has always made me think. I first think of all the people's live who have touched my own and how they have helped make me into the person that I am today. Many of these people will never know just how much of an impact they have upon my life, there is a sadness to that, but that is how life goes. I try to let people know how much they have changed my life, but it is often hard to find just the right time to tell someone how much of an influence they've been.
I then think of all the people whose lives I may have influenced, the people who were affected by people who were as they were because they had met me. I wonder how the world would be different if I had never been born, who of my friends, would be more successful, less successful, or even no longer in existence. I wonder how many people's lives I have had an effect on. I hope that I have had a positive effect on peoples lives. I also wish I knew just who I have effected and how, but perhaps I am not meant to know. I'm sure that it will all make sense one day.
