Ours is a society that has falsely assumed that contribution must mean giving to some specific cause rather than simply giving our best selves. Thus, too many people don't recognize the fact that simply being who they are is contributing significantly to the world.

I say it is, and we must not overlook the fact that being our best ultimately inspires others and can and does indeed make an impact.
