Summary

This quote suggests that we are often unaware of the impact our actions and existence have on others. While we may not fully know the extent to which our life influences those around us, we occasionally catch glimpses of the positive effects we leave behind. These glimpses, even if small, serve as reminders to keep pushing forward and not lose hope. Ultimately, the true magnitude and significance of our contributions to others remain hidden, but we are granted occasional reminders to keep us encouraged.
