"I know I can't fix the world, but I can reflect on pieces of it that I see as broken, and perhaps I can shuffle some of my own pieces around, to better align with what I value in this life, and maybe with what some others may value too."
This is the place you capture this amazing piece of literature and i think it's a beautifully introspective perspective! While it's true that we can't single-handedly fix all the complexities of the world, the power lies in our ability to reflect, adapt, and take action within our spheres of influence. Your commitment to examining the broken pieces of the world and aligning your values with your actions is incredibly empowering. Even small shifts in our own lives can create ripples of positive change, inspiring others to do the same. It's through these individual acts of reflection and alignment that we collectively move towards a more harmonious and value-driven world. Your willingness to engage in this process is not only commendable but also serves as a beacon of hope for a better tomorrow. Keep embracing your agency to make a difference, one thoughtful shuffle at a time!
And our influence is much smaller than we believe it to be for many of the things we worry about.
