The Domain of Purposeful Living
Living with a strong sense of purpose represents our most basic psychological need, due to our soul’s yearning to live a life of significance.
Purposeful living infuses our days with a heightened sense of feeling alive and makes us more energetic.
Benefits of Purposeful Living
Our need for purposeful living is an inescapable part of life. Even if and when we retire from our jobs and careers, we can never retire our need to live with a sense of purpose and to feel useful.
Our need for purposeful living is evidenced by the strong health benefits that derive from its pursuit. People who live with a high sense of life purpose tend to live longer and enjoy better physical health, resilience, and well-being. Conversely, chronic boredom or having a low sense of life purpose is associated with decreased well-being and an increased risk of future medical illness.
