So to follow our hearts in a daily way, what brings you more alive?

What is heartening?

Forget about whether it's a career or a project or just what do you do during the day that brings you more alive?

And then do more of it.

It could be staring at the sky, or it could be making meals for friends, or it could be stamp collecting, or it could be, you know, I have a dear friend, the friend Paul, who helped me through my cancer journey all those years ago.

And one of his great gifts, I mean, he did all kinds of things to make a living, but he followed so beautifully.

You know, when we were in our 20s, he created an art gallery.

And that brought him alive.

And it was a wonderful art gallery in Albany, New York.

And then it changed.

And, you know, the next thing I knew he was, you know, doing Sumi painting himself.

And then, you know, another 10 years, he was apprenticing with a foreign car mechanic.

And he just followed what brought him.

And it wasn't whether it was, quote, successful or not.

It was just that what brought him alive shifted.

I wouldn't even see, as long as we take the judgment out of it, not no longer works or didn't produce something.

So, you know, one of the things that happens to all of us when we're young, you're spinning in recess and this teacher says, boy, you're so graceful.

You'd be a good dancer.

Or hear somebody singing la la la over in the corner.

You should be a singer.
