Really appreciated this post — the way you highlighted Jon and Rachel Goldberg-Polin’s work was both inspiring and informative. The discussion about their mission was very clear and made me think deeply about the impact of individual efforts. I recently read a piece on a https://www.rosedalewellness.com/ blog that offered a similar perspective on meaningful contributions, which added an interesting angle to this topic.
