I had a thought about the future: in 30 years I’ll be in my 60’s (it was kind of a scary thought). And I wondered, “what will make me proud in 30 years?” Or out another way, what do I need to do regularly to contribute, to make an impact on this world? It certainly isn’t watching TV or browsing Reddit. This framing made me realize how precious our time is. If we’re satisfied with simply being alive, healthy, and with loved ones, that’s okay. But we all have a unique opportunity to contribute. All of us possess the ability to change the world in some way, no matter how small. So what are the non-negotiables that we must do each day to make that happen? It doesn’t occur overnight, but humans have a remarkable ability for effecting change over longer timescales. What will we build together?
