• We live on a planet that contains over 7 billion
  people. When there are that many people in the
  world, you can feel lost in the shuffle. It may
  seem like you dont really matter. This couldnt
  be further from the truth! Every single person
  matters, you have a much larger sphere of
  influence than you may realize. It is important
  that you understand how much matter to other
  people and how many people care about who you
  are.
• Your Personal Sphere of Influence
• Take some time to look at your circle of friends,
  family, and coworkers and think about how many of
  those friends you have contact with.

• You may discover that you know and stay in
  contact with many more people than you originally
  thought. According to anthropologist Robin
  Dunbar, humans are able to maintain stable social
  relationships with anywhere from 100-250 people.
  (In general, we consider Dunbars Number to be
  150 people.)
• Think about that, the average person has
  relationships with around 150 people. That many
  people care about you and listen to you. When
  people care about you, you influence their
  decisions and you are influenced by their
  choices. That gives you quite a bit of power in
  other peoples lives and in the world around you.

• All of your friends are connected with other
  people who they are able to influence and the
  cycle goes on. Your sphere of influence will
  continue to grow as you create stronger
  relationships with people.
• Talking to a Counselor About Your Influence
• Sometimes, we get so caught up in ourselves that
  we forget how much we affect other people. Its a
  good idea to talk about your relationships and
  how much you matter with a counselor. A counselor
  can help you see your life from another
  perspective.
