I don't understand the obsession with either side of significance or insignificance. People ought find out what works for them - and it's individual. Personally, I loved Ray Dalio's book Principles - not as a discussion of finance (which it also is!), rather as a means to help me solidify the idea of codifying my life principles. These in turn, provide tremendous meaning and support to my decision making process.
Everything, every action, every step one takes has some form of an impact on something. The question is merely whether or not as individuals we care about it. Significance is in the eye of the beholder, and measurable on a scale that you determine.
Am I insignificant compared to anything in space - absolutely. But what if my generations learn the lessons I deem important for them to learn? I might argue my impact is massive, it's now generational. Remember my name or not - but instilling and living ideals.. sounds like a large impact to me. That may not work for others. YMMV.
