Thoughts around my continuing exploration of the dual themes of our life purpose and positive aging …
I was struck by this quotation from The Power of Purpose: Find Meaning, Live Longer, Better by Richard Leider. Okay, honestly speaking, I am struck by something on almost every page of this excellent little book.
I suppose one can say that some of us are “Purpose Junkies“, people who are on a continual quest for our meaning in life and trying to discern what we should do.
Some say that this is navel-gazing taken to the extreme, while others dismiss our attempts to discover self by pointing out that we need to “get out into the real world, where things are dirty and brutal. Just get a job and do it until you have enough money to not have to do it any more … Quit your whining” or similar.
