How Does Your Online Content Impact The World?

The reality is that the Internet gives all of us access to any of the infinite articles, videos, websites, products, and other pieces of content hosted online. As such, the ability for even just one article or video to have an impact on the whole human race really isn't out of the question.

Take this string of ripple effect for example:

1. Person A goes online and searches on "break up advice" on YouTube
2. Person A finds a video by a random YouTuber - Person B
   1. I comment on the video, "thanks for this Person B, it changed my life!"
      1. Person B reads this and is inspired to stay strong in his mission
3. inspired by the video, Person A decide to go back to the gym that day
   1. at the gym, Person A plays basketball against Person C
      1. Person A and Person C decide to exchange numbers, they're now friends
      2. Person A and Person C end up being friends for life
4. Person A is now home and in an even greater mood having made a friend
5. Person A creates their own video and shares it on Facebook
   1. Person D comments, "hey your video really made my day"
      1. Person D went from being bored and sad, to entertained and inspired
      2. Person D decide to text their friend, Person E, to hang out
         1. Person D and E hang out together and laugh, they feel great
         2. Person D and E's energy shines while they're in public
            1. the People (F, G, H, ..., Z) around them get a boost of energy just by watching them

Just by one video, one piece of content, Person A, B, C, D, all the way to Z, and beyond, were effected through the ripple effect.

So, ask yourself, what kind of impact does your your social media have on the people that view it? Is your page full of selfies and negative ranting? Or is it of you laughing and sharing your message? Or maybe you don't even post cause you don't think it matters.

That ask yourself, what kind of impact do you WANT your social media to have on the people that view it - and thus the world?

The power that all of us have to impact the world is great. Each one of us has the choice to make an impact on the people who come across our content. 

Take away: we NEVER know what impact our online content will have in the WORLD. Directly and indirectly. 

So if you're someone who's always wanted to start a YouTube channel, a blog, or just be a consistent social media poster - DO IT. There's someone out there who's life is going to change as a result of your content. 

And shoot, this very post may have just changed yours.
