Grand Theft Auto, you probably have a distorted idea of
who you can trust at first sight and who you can‘t.
Consequential Strangers
"Consequential Strangers" are your neighbors,
coworkers, store clerks, local police officers, or members
of a religious or community group. They’re tradespeople
like the butcher, the baker, your mechanic, and the fresh-
fruit lady at the market. While we take them for granted,
they can enrich our lives in ways we never imagined.
Spontaneous Success may most likely come from the
word-of-mouth of Consequential Strangers.
Despite the limited connection, they can:
• Offer valuable advice or guidance
• Provide new opportunities or connections
• Challenge your thinking or perspectives
• Support you in times of need
• Inspire or motivate you
These strangers are "consequential" because they can
change the course of your life even if you only interact
with them briefly.
