EQ4U UPDATE – MAY 2024

While perhaps not a predictable wellbeing citation with its emphasis on having life purpose, the following quote from an Austrian born, American author, scientist and activist encapsulates deeply reflective life contemplations:

‘This is the true joy in life – working for a mighty purpose; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrapheap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.’
