About My Growing Impact
My Growing Impact exists to inspire you to make an even more meaningful difference in your life and the lives of others than you’re already making! And it’s about sharing ideas to keep you going and keep that impact growing!
The idea is to:
Offer fresh perspectives to help you see your life in a new light and uncover the unique opportunities only you have;
Equipping you with tools and methods to drive positive, meaningful change;
Sharing real-life experiences and best practices to inspire action and growth.
Life is busy, and time flies. That’s why the focus here is on the power of small, consistent actions. No big, overwhelming changes—just simple, practical steps that fit into your life and create lasting impact.
Are you ready to join this journey? Together, let’s explore who you are, what you’re capable of, and the incredible impact you can make in the world.
How it all began
Over the last 10 years, I’ve had this feeling of internal restlessness. I couldn’t grasp what, but I knew that something was missing—a sense of deeper fulfillment in life. My days were (and are) filled with meaningful responsibilities: being there for my family, managing the daily grind of work, studying, helping out occasionally, and finding moments to relax. These roles are important and fulfilling, but they can also keep you in your own little bubble.
And yet, there’s so much more out there. So much to understand about life, so many challenges to tackle, and countless opportunities to support others and make a difference in their lives. But when your time is already filled up, all of this feels impossible. And in those rare free moments, you’re often too drained to act.
I began asking myself: how can I break free from this restlessness? How can I contribute more meaningfully to the world while staying true to my daily life?
That’s when the idea for My Growing Impact was born: a simple, accessible way to share inspiration with the world to make more impact in life, based on personal experiences, struggles, stories from others, knowledge, and fresh perspectives. Through this platform, I aim to inspire small yet meaningful steps—actions that create a positive impact, not just on our own lives, but on the world around us. I hope I will have your support with me!
A little but about me
My name is Ahssen Haroon. I live in the Netherlands, in a peaceful village with my wife and two kids. I work as a financial advisor in healthcare and have been in this field for over 10 years. Why healthcare? Because it’s about us as human beings—supporting each other in our most vulnerable moments. I feel privileged to play a small part in ensuring the efficiency and continuity of quality healthcare.
As a person I’m an introvert by nature, so you’ll often find me lost in thoughts, seeking wisdom and answers in the quiet moments, or diving into the pages of a good book. You’ll also find me reflecting a lot. A day not reflected is a day not lived for me!
I believe that it’s our duty to make the best out of this precious live we’ve been given with all the unique talents and skills that come with it. There is so much good we can do, but for that we have to unlock our best selves. That is what my search is all about, and this space is where I share the insights and ideas that emerge from my reflections.
I really hope that what you discover here will help you better understand your life, inspire you to shape yourself into the person you want to be, and ignite a fire inside you to go for it and start making even MORE IMPACT than you already are!
Happy reading.
