We will become distracted in the day-to-day.

We have to be rooted in

in a greater calling, a larger purpose and meaning in life to truly be fulfilled.

One of my favorite books, and I've shared this before, is Halftime by Bob Buford.

And it talks about how the first half of your life is focused on success.

And after many of us experience a halftime moment,

we have this renewed mind and we realize that the second half of life is no longer focused on success, but it's focused on significance.

And I've also heard people describe the first half of your life as you are working to build and accumulate.

And the second half of your life, you are working to give it all away to people you love and friends and family and your kids.

That could be materialistic things.

It could be your money.

It could be your time, your energy, anything.

But in the book Halftime by Bob Buford, he says that people are at their largest, their noblest, and most virtuous when they are given over to a cause, something larger than themselves.

We are at our best, our largest, our most...

Noble, virtuous, when we are working towards and for something larger than ourselves.

True purpose, true meaning.

I'm also a really big fan of Arthur C. Brooks.

He teaches a very popular class, I believe at Harvard, on happiness.

And this class...

It books out every year instantaneously.
