I think this is one of the best TED talks I’ve ever heard.
When I became disabled and left the workforce in my mid-40s, at first I thought I was just going to kind of relax into a sort of retirement, but I ended up going back to work just part-time. Jobs that I’ve chosen. Jobs that I can tolerate both physically and emotionally.
The more I thought about it, before I went to work part-time, the more I realized I didn’t want to just sit around for the rest of my life and fade away without having made an impact.
First, I worked for a cat rescue, where I know I made a very big difference to both a number of cats and number of people. Later we moved to Massachusetts, and I kind of fell into a job working for the town in which I live. I was just looking to volunteer, but it turned out they had a part-time paid position that has worked out very well.

It’s ironic how this channel tries to convince us that AI isn’t evil and won’t take our jobs, but Jennifer is actually saying the opposite — that it could devalue our work and leave us feeling useless in society

True meaning comes from knowing we matter—and reminding others their lives and work matter too.

The problem is that we allow others to dictate our worth. Only you can find fulfillment in your life. Figure out what feeds your soul and do that.

This was powerful. 🔥 It’s not enough to just work hard—we all need to know that our work makes a difference, that we matter. Greg’s story is a reminder that feeling valued fuels purpose, resilience, and hope. Every act of kindness, every effort to serve, ripples further than we can see.

Knowing our lives matter isn’t just about achievement-it’s about being seen, valued, and connected. Jennifer’s reminder that acknowledgment fuels purpose is so powerful, especially in a world that often overlooks the quiet contributions that mean the most. 💫
