In this episode I’m looking at the connection between lack of purpose and increased negativity. Is there a correlation between idle time and negativity bias? Obviously I think there is or I wouldn’t pose the question. I have an admitted positivity bias. But when I step back and look at the big picture of our culture, I can’t help but see connections, and it gives me cause to consider how my own drive for purpose helps curb my propensity to not only think negatively, but even feel negatively. The past year of my life has been one of the most challenging in regards to hardships and challenges in my immediate and extended family, so I’m not coming to this while sitting on my yacht drinking martinis. But through it my outlook on life has increased in positivity. In beauty. In awe even. Does hardship increase negativity, or just, lack of purpose? Drive with me a moment.  Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.
