On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about redefining what it means to create a "well-lived life."I challenge the common advice to "go big or go home," questioning whether that's really the only path to a meaningful existence.I share a personal story about a childhood friend, who passed away recently and whose life left a profound mark on his community.I reflect on how society often looks down on those who choose to live a "small" life, by things like - staying local, putting others first, and avoiding the limelight.I argue that a small life doesn't have to mean a small impact.The key message is that we don't all have to be world-famous or build massive empires to live a life of significance. Sometimes the most impactful legacies are built through quiet acts of kindness, reliability, and dedication to one's local sphere of influence.I encourage my listeners to define success on their own terms - and to focus on making a difference in the lives immediately around them, rather than chasing those external markers of achievement.Ultimately, our worth is not determined by the size of our platform or bank account.What matters most is how we show up and the positive ripple effects we have, even in a "small" life.By living with intention, authenticity​, and a commitment to service, we can all leave the world a little bit better than we found it.KEY POINTS:•​ Small life, ​Big impact •​ Redefine success on your terms•​ Quiet ​service matters immensely•​ Authenticity ​over external ​achievements​•​ Community roots bring deep fulfillment•​ Legacy lives in ​our relationships• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.
