Even small things can ripple out more than we realise.
I wonder about this a lot. People talk about purpose as if it is something you can simply find if you try hard enough, but if it were that easy, and not partly self-deception, wouldn’t people generally feel more settled than they do?
How do you know when something is real purpose and not just another story you tell yourself to keep going?
I like this. It is easy to forget that small actions count, especially when nothing changes immediately. Sometimes the difference only becomes visible much later.
