So I'm slightly drunk and I'm going to get a little deep. Downvote me if I sound pretentious.
I have this theory that, sure there are 7 BILLION people on earth but really that number is unimaginable and not really impactful to me. There are maybe...what...1,000 people of those 7 BILLION that I'm actually going to have any significant interaction with in my lifetime.
So when you meet a new person...like holy shit...of the 7 BILLION on this planet this person will actually be in your life. For example, when people list their greatest influence in a sport, or music, or acting...they usually list a famous athlete, or a famous rock star, or a famous actor, but really....think about it.
The greatest influence in your sporting life is probably your coach and your teammates. Treat those people with an immense amount of respect if they are good.
The greatest influence in your musical life, is your music teacher. Not Skrillex or Jimmy Page...it's Mr. Brown or whoever you meet with weekly to guide you on your musical journey.
Same with your acting coach...is your greatest influence really Robert DeNiro? Or is it your teacher and your friends that are in the performance of Oklahoma you are putting on?
I'm a guitar student and my greatest influence is my teacher. A humble dude who works hard. I'm a Dad and my greatest influence is my wife and kid. I'm a programmer and my greatest influence are my work mates.
These are the people I value. Celebs are great, but the people that really have impact are those 1 in 7 Billion people that you meet in your day to day life.
edit: I love this sub. Nothing but love here. My heart feels full right now. This is the best sub on Reddit.
