Steve Magness

“Instead, if we wanted to be fulfilled, there were three ways to achieve this. First, the act of doing. Creating—whether it be in an artistic pursuit or a labor of love—brought meaning to one’s life. The second was in experiencing—nature, love, art, or anything that might create the sensation of awe and expand one’s perspective of the world. You can imagine an audience sitting in a lecture hall being slightly thrown off by the joy and happiness declaration, but their minds were surely back in sync with the message of doing and experiencing to create meaning. The third key to fulfillment would catch most off guard, but this particular audience was likely expecting it: suffering.”
