One lens I have for life - there are three types of time: purpose (serious), play and peace (rest). In a normal week I try to do 5 days of Purpose, 1 day of Play and 1 day of Peace. Purpose: 1. Find a way to make the world better => 2. Take on responsibility to make change => 3. Get meaning / purpose => 4. Happiness [4th order happiness] Play: no responsibility - Purpose = responsibility * fun - Play = no responsibility * fun [1st order happiness] Peace = just doing nothing [2nd order happiness. 1. Calm / rest => 2. peaceful happy] A life without seriousness is frivolousness. A life with only seriousness is silliness.
