Living with Purpose - Part Two
Excerpted from an article on Smart Aging, which was in the Aging in Atlanta section of the
Atlanta Journal Constitution. The emphasis is on how to cope with the changes aging can bring. It should be a positive experience.
This is the second month of giving pointers on "Living with Purpose".
Patricia Boyle, Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago offers these observations:
"Even small goals can help motivate someone to keep going. Purpose can involve a larger goal, but it's not a requirement. Older adults often discover a sense of purpose from taking care of grandchildren, volunteering or becoming involved in community service work or religion. A purpose in life can arise from learning a new thing, accomplishing a new goal, working together with other people or making new social connections
when others are lost."
As a reminder:
TTN is a dynamic national community of professional women, 50 and forward, whose changing life situations lead them to seek new connections, opportunities and resources.
Through TTN, women connect with one another to discover new perspectives and opportunities so they can impact themselves and their community.
