I'm glad you found something in this. I felt like I was just kind of throwing a lot of random thoughts out there. It's definitely hard. I know what you mean about navigating another part of life. It's very bizarre. I think a lot of the things I have been focusing on lately are the impact that I have had. I don't think it has been great. I read all these nice things people say about other people and I don't feel like there will be so much of that about me. I need to fix that.

I get that too. However, I've found that comparing myself with others is really unhelpful and the thoughts about myself don't often reflect reality or what other people think of me. Especially when I'm struggling a bit. Also, I think we often have no idea of the impact we've had.

I learned that when I was coaching. Clients would often comment how helpful a session had been when I thought it was nothing special. And there were times when I felt I'd done a really good job and the client made no comment on it. And everything in between.

But, what do I know? I'm new to this and I guess we all have different things that concern us.

Thanks, that's a really great point! I have a feeling I probably positively impact more people than I know!
