Its a question I've been thinking about for a long time. Honestly, I can't come up with a better answer than Jesus.

To me the value of this question is realizing that what matters most is what you do, not what you think. It starts with thought but if that is all that ever happens then has anything happened? Proof of work. What are you doing in your day to day life? Are you kind to people? Do you speak truth or lies? Do you treat others the way you would want to be treated? Even if they don't deserve it? When you do the right thing is it for the right reasons? Do you have integrity? I fail in many of these areas on many days. Do I own my mistakes or do I blame others? Am I accomplishing my goals or making excuses for why I'm not moving forward. When I fall, do I get up or just get mad.

So if everyone was following me would the world be better or worse? Thankfully the whole world isn't following me. But, we all influence others and sometimes we do not realize who we are influencing or how much impact we have. As a father, husband, and son this hits me hard on many days. I look at the life of Jesus as my template.

I feel like this answer isn't great but it is a start. I think we underestimate how much impact we can have. If even a small number of people would live like everyone was modeling their life after them I believe the impact would be immense.
