Every action someone makes is significant to their own life. The choices people make determine how the following parts of their lives will play out. For example, when someone creates a goal, they will pursue actions that will bring them closer to achieving it. These actions will now significantly affect someone’s life and could determine the result of successfully reaching the decided goals or not. As a person who is a firm believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason, small decisions can affect someone’s life just as much as a big one. From deciding where to go for lunch to deciding what college to earn your degree from, these decisions can decide your life. Your actions and decisions also can be significant to the people you choose to be around. It is more common for our choices to affect other people and ourselves than just us. As Humans interact with each other and share ideas or stories, other people can take lessons from them and apply these to their lives, which can now affect them positively or negatively. Humans tend to put more thought into the actions that they know will affect more people than just themselves. Our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can also substantially impact other people. When we share our thoughts with others, we tend to look for a conclusion where everyone agrees; if not, we try to give reasoning to convince them to side with our thoughts. The littlest things contribute to someone's life to a great extent and the significance behind it.
