Sean Delaney: 最近参加葬礼让我深刻反思人生的意义。我开始思考,如果我继续按照目前的方式生活下去,我的人生最终会变成什么样?我会为自己感到自豪吗?我是否找到了人生的目标和意义?我希望我的人生能对他人的生活产生积极的影响。我渴望体验一种即使永生也无法取代的生活,一种与我的价值观完全一致的生活。我希望我的思想、言语和行动都能与我的价值观保持一致。我衡量人生的标准是活在当下,充满爱,并勇敢地做真实的自己。真正的成功在于尽我所能,成为最好的自己,并为后代留下美好的遗产。我将如何衡量我的人生?我正在努力成为什么样的人?我想要创造什么样的生活?这些问题需要我们认真思考,并用内心的声音来回答。我们应该简化生活,专注于真正重要的事情,并全身心地投入其中。我们应该专注于那些对我们有价值的事情,因为我们的注意力在哪里,我们的生活就在哪里。我们不应该把精力投入到我们不关心的事情上,以免最终心碎。我们应该训练我们的注意力,明确我们的方向,并诚实地面对我们正在努力实现的目标。只有当我们倾听内心的声音时,我们的视野才会变得清晰。意义来自于与他人的联系和对超越自我的事物的奉献。随着年龄的增长,我越来越了解越来越少的事情。伟大的真理和永恒的法则能帮助我们在动荡的世界中保持耐心、冷静和纯真。我们不应该把精力投入到我们不关心的事情上,以免最终心碎。我们应该训练我们的注意力,明确我们的方向,并诚实地面对我们正在努力实现的目标。我邀请你思考:你将如何衡量你的人生?你正在努力成为什么样的人?你想要创造什么样的生活?

The question hit me at a funeral: If I keep living exactly as I am… what will my life add up to? This episode isn’t here to give you answers. It’s here to help you ask better questions.

How are you measuring your life? Are you chasing a scoreboard someone else created? Or are you living in alignment with what your soul knows to be true?

You’ll hear reflections from the Stoics, wisdom from David Brooks and James Hollis, the ache behind Rumi’s poetry, and the quiet clarity of your own heart. I walk with you through the dangerous gap between what society tells us to want… and what actually makes life feel worth living. This is not about chasing more. It’s about choosing better and following what truly matters. So I’ll leave you with three questions—ones worth returning to again and again:

How will I measure my life? Who am I working to become? What is the life I’m truly trying to create?
