A sense of purpose in life fosters the health of someone’s body, mind, social life, and spirit. It provides us with a target to work toward, illuminates the ways to work toward it, and gives us hope when we question our capacity to do so. People who look for purpose outside of themselves have longer, healthier lives. Consequently, it’s critical to our wellbeing that we continue to feel a strong sense of purpose. We don’t sweat the minor stuff and don’t get hurt by the little things when we have a purpose.
Our lives and minds are prolonged and kept sharp by purpose. Purpose makes it easier to engage with others who are different from us.
