Thinking about this quote now, I think I should have written down more explicitely that it is possible to care a lot about having a positive impact, but not make it the definition of your self-worth; and that it is good to have positive impact as your goal and normal to be sad about not reaching your goals as you’d like to, but this sadness does not have to come with the feeling of worthlessness. I am still learning how to actually separate these on an emotional level.
I’m really glad this post was useful to you :)
