and have highly satisfactory relationships. They also enjoy a potpourri of health benefits, including a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, fewer daily health limitations, and less chronic disease. Importantly, those who flourish accept that no one is immune from hardship, and they excel at meeting the adversity in life with a clear eye and great strength. They are focused and have a sense of purpose.
Another remarkable individual who learned to flourish despite the most catastrophic circumstances was the actor Christopher Reeve. In 1995, Reeve had a horseback riding accident and suffered a devastating spinal cord injury that left him a quadriplegic whose every breath was dependent on a respirator. In the aftermath of the tragedy that altered every aspect of his life, he was determined to help others. For the rest of his life, he used his name, celebrity, and voice to advocate for others.
Mother Teresa and Christopher Reeve each had a glorious purpose. Your purpose doesn’t have to be as bold, but you do need to identify it. Do you know your purpose? If you do, write it down and consider three actions you can take to fulfill it in the coming months.For 30 consecutive days, jot down on note cards three or four things that you did that day. Give each activity a rating from 1 to 10—with 10 reflecting what gave you joy and with 1 reflecting actions that don’t make you happy.
