Throughout our lives, we meet and interact with thousands of different people in all walks of life, many of whom leave everlasting impressions on us. Some are good, some are bad, some don't leave any impression at all, and some even change our whole perspective of the world and life as we know it.

Impressions are incredibly important, and first impressions have the power to completely change the trajectory of your mindset, depending on how you perceive that initial encounter. The ability to conduct yourself in a manner that leaves a good and everlasting impression is a skill in itself. However, it can also fluctuate depending on your mood, the interaction, the context of the situation, and the reason for the interaction. All of these factors create a vast array of variables that can contribute to how that impression is formed.

What's interesting about impressions and leaving an impression is that they are usually based on a small and circumstantial segment of someone's life. When we leave a good or bad impression, it is filtered and expressed throughout various friendship and family circles, which creates a profile of ourselves. By creating a mindset focused on trying to create the best possible impressions for others of ourselves, as well as maintaining a mindset in which we openly embrace the impression we have of others in a positive outlook, we strongly contribute to our fulfillment of life and happiness. The feedback loop of impressions is both a indication of people’s perception of us but a reflection of how we are perceived and through this perspective we can evaluate if we are on a positive pathway towards the person we wish to become.

Impressions play a significant role in the search for happiness, as they shape our social interactions and relationships. It is important to be mindful of the impressions we make, as they have the potential to impact our well-being and the well-being of others.
