Things I’m doing differently in 2026 to live with purpose

With all the suffering in the world, it’s easy to feel powerless, but here’s a quote I came across this week that sums up how I’ve been feeling:

“You can’t change the world, but you can make a corner of it pretty nice.” - Dave Chappelle

I want to focus more on my impact on those actually within my reach, being a source of support, joy, positivity, and presence to my partner, parents, sister, family, friends, and all those I encounter daily.

There’s humility and wisdom in starting with reducing our own suffering and those nearest to us; being a source of love, joy, and understanding in those everyday interactions.

Instead of looking to make the biggest impact, I want to value the power of the small impacts that vibrate and ripple into the world. I’m starting to think that is a more humble and impactful way to approach living with purpose.

Here’s a short about the value of taking risks
