Thanks for this. I’m guilty of this thinking pretty much everyday, where I feel that if nothing I do is “earth-shattering” or moving the needle dramatically enough, then it’s a waste or unworthy of pursuit. I’m slowly learning to give myself a break there and feeling less anxious as a result.
Ive been thinking more, in my relatively small life, about how people who have a huge reach and influence that "made it" tend to have massive burnout or some terrible secret to deal with. There's a trade off.

I once read a line proposing, 'everything that matters is at arm's length'. It is a simple idea with enormous scope.
