“To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.” ― Dr. Seuss

How does it feel to be essentially anonymous?

Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

The vast majority of people that have ever lived have lived in relative anonymity.

Even with all the talk about the internet making the world a much smaller place and the ability to have a global presence, which is all true to a certain extent, most people will live in obscurity.

With an estimated global population of about 7.6 billion people, you represent 0.000000013158% of the global population. And just so you don’t feel alone, you should know that you and I together represent 0.000000026316%. As you can see, that’s a lot of zero’s before we’re even close to being a whole number. .

So the majority of people in the world will never know that you existed. But there’s a handful of people that will, and for some of them, you are their world.

You are and always will be the most important person they might ever encounter.

You will be the one, the 100% to them.

Although Shakespeare so eloquently wrote “All the world’s a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts…etc.” He didn’t define size of the world or the stage.

Your performance on your world and stage is with those that are closest you. The ones you interact with on a daily basis. The ones whose lives you’ll be able to change and influence forever. The ones you’ll never be anonymous for.
