The Importance of Purpose in Longevity
Having a sense of purpose is crucial for both physical and emotional health as it propels individuals to engage positively with life. Dr. Gladys McGarry emphasizes that waking up with a reason to live fosters a proactive mindset in which people respond to their inner selves and their communities. This connection can transform potential feelings of stagnation into motivation, a factor directly correlated with longer, healthier lives. By pursuing meaningful goals, individuals can foster resilience against the challenges they face, learning and growing from each experience rather than being weighed down by them.
