58 分钟The idea of doing something for something bigger than yourself, that might be the secret sauce, honestly, right?
That might be the secret sauce to living well.
That may be the secret sauce to happiness.
That might be the secret sauce to aging well, right?
Is sort of figuring out a couple of things.
One, what are the things that really sort of stir a passion in me?
And that passion could be anger.
Like, what are the causes that make me think it's not right that things aren't this way?
Or it, it's so great when things are this way, right?
Either one of those.
And how can I be a part of that and coupling that with what am I really good at?
What do people thank me for?
And how can I use that thing in service of that cause, man, that is the secret sauce.
That, to me, is the way you live well.
And aging is living.
That is the way you age well is really sort of tapping into how can I help make the world the kind of world that I want to live in and that I want people coming up behind me want to live in what is my small part.
And that's a really, really big part of it, for sure.
So we have all had those moments.
Catching sight of a gray hair sprouting up, realizing your high school reunions just around the corner, watching your kids grow up, even leave the nest.
In my case, seeing my hair literally careen out of my head and leaving reading glasses and nooks and pockets all over the place and suddenly can't help but wonder, wait a minute, am I getting old?
