Influence
We all have giants who rose out of the crowds of our past and carried us on their shoulders toward the goal of being the people we're meant to be. Whether they knew it or not, they made our work better and so their influence lives on in the things we do.
One of my giants recently passed away. Ecclesiastes 9:10 tells us "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest." Thankfully, that doesn't mean influence ends with death. You may be living a life right now that is watched by someone who thinks of you as a giant helping to boost them to great things.
