A talk I listened to on sunday provoked my thinking a lot.
The speaker told us about a man he met a few months ago at his "surrogate grandfathers" funeral. His surrogate grandfather was his grandmothers partner for years after his grandfather died, and at the funeral they met his 85yr old brother. Not your typical old man walking around with a hunched back and cane, he was spritely and full of life. They asked him the secret to his longevity and his enthusiasm for life.
His answer was that everyone needs 3-5 passions, things that give them energy and drive and make life worth living for them.
The speaker had since pondered on this, and his 5 were travel, languages, the gym, his studies/degree and journalling.
What are mine?
