There's a basic "okayness" to life even when it's hard.

I’ve read and written a lot about purpose. This is the best piece I have read and it has changed my thinking. Connected many dots for me. Thank you

Spent a life trying for accomplishment. Success but not much happiness. My wife was always focused on the happiness. Even in her early yr of dementia she seemed happy. After she died 3 years ago, I finally saw what she was talking about. Never too old to learn and change. Now 80
