happiness and life
satisfaction when they have
a sense of meaning and
purpose in their
lives...pursuing and
accomplishing intrinsically
meaningful goals, those that
are congruent with the
innermost self, values and
aspirations, or that provide
autonomy, competence and
relatedness contribute more
to well-being than other
goal-oriented activity.

people who focus on living with a sense of
purpose as they age are more likely to remain
cognitively intact, have better mental health
and even live longer than people who focus on
achieving feelings of happiness.”

about four things:
perceived control,
perceived progress,
connectedness –
number and depth of
your relationships, and
vision or meaning –
being part of something
bigger than yourself.”
