For me, the perfect Saturday involves getting up early. Not disgustingly early, just early enough that the morning is still fresh and young. I get my son dressed and we go for a long walk with the stroller while my wife gets much-deserved sleep.It’s always worth taking the time to reflect on what brings us meaning and purpose in life. Through his work on flow, Csikszentmihalyi has helped provide a pathway to unfolding purpose as one travels through life.
Link to an interesting article by the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard that describes an ongoing research project examining what brings meaning and purpose to life.
