The world keeps spinning after you’re gone. Give it a little push in a good direction while you’re here.

Nothing depends on you as much as it can feel like it does, which is uncomfortable and also a relief. Everything carries on regardless, and that means your contribution does not have to be enormous in order to count for something. A small steady push in one direction is a real effect on something that will outlast you.

Pick the one thing you can actually influence and lean on it consistently. A person, a place, a practice, a small piece of work. Consistency is what turns a push into a direction.
