And that's, am I getting to express all of me?

And the other most common is, you know, it's just not meaningful enough.

Making a difference.

I need to make a difference.

I need to change the world.

I need to have an impact.

I need this to be recognized.

I need this to last.

And they're talking in a variety of ways, all about the production of their lives, the product, the outcome of their work, making some kind of a difference.

I'm still trying to have a positive impact.

But what we're noticing is for a lot of people, impact-making is the only version of meaning-making that they validate.

And the problem with it is when you lean into that, even if it works—and by the way, if you do everything right—

your chance of still successfully having an impact is maybe 50-50, because, you know, those other 8 billion people on the planet, they might go off script at some point, and they're awfully hard to control.
