I’m 87 Years Old. The Truth About "Changing The World.

Описание: "Grandpa... does it ever feel like nothing you do actually matters?" At 87 years old, that question from my granddaughter shook me to my core. Here is the answer I wish I had known a lifetime ago.

We live in a world obsessed with impact. We are told to build platforms, chase followers, and leave a legacy that millions will remember. But after living through nearly nine decades, surviving recessions, and burying friends, I’ve realized we have been sold a lie.

In this video, I share the story of Margaret, a quiet teacher whose funeral revealed a shocking truth, and the night a stranger named Tom saved my life just by buying me a cup of coffee.

If you are feeling lost, insignificant, or exhausted by the pressure to be "special," please listen to this. Real meaning isn't found in the spotlight. It's found in the small, invisible moments we often ignore.

In this video, I cover:

The devastating question my 15-year-old granddaughter asked me.
The lie about "leaving a mark" on the world.
The story of Margaret: Why an ordinary life is extraordinary.
How a 3-minute conversation can save a life.
Why your status and achievements will fade, but your kindness won't.
