Do what you really love
A 2015 study in the Journal of Developmental Psychology discovered that a sense of purpose and passion can make us healthier and wiser. And healthier in what really counts. So follow your joy — find new places to get outside, join a book club, take up a musical instrument. Even if your cello playing doesn’t compare to Yo-YoMa’s, don’t let that slow you down. As British writer G. K. Chesterton once noted, “Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.”
