Victor (Vic) Strecher

And it seems to have really touched a chord.

And from that, I am

grateful because i i think this has this is a very important area of people's lives now and it's not just since covid i think you could go back 2400 years to aristotle who asked these same questions of what makes us happy and he basically said having a purpose and direction is what makes us happy

I can relate to Victoria, by the way, because I have lots of purposes in different domains.

I certainly have community purposes.

I have family purposes.

My wife and I have strong purpose in our relationship together.

We have purpose with our children and certainly strong purpose in work.

So I can relate and I'm always thinking, boy, how do you balance these purposes?

I can talk about getting more energy and vitality so that you can develop, you know, actually be more aligned with all of those purposes, but can balance.

having so many different domains of purpose burn you out?

I would think so.

Yes, I think it can be.

So you do need to give yourself some downtime, some relaxation time, maybe even some purposeless time.

As one of my mentors, Jim Lehrer, has told me many times that energy is the most important aspect that we can have in our lives.

Thinking about not health,

But thinking about energy, do I have vitality?

Do I have energy?

What gives me more energy every single day?

So we could go all the way back then to these space criteria of sleep, presence, activity, creativity, and eating so that you can live and be purposeful in multiple domains.
