Noel Gallager said, "I don't live to work; I work to live." I first heard this expression when I was living in Spain, and a Spanish friend told me that, "you Americans live to work, while we Spaniards work to live." As I look back, I should have listened closer to my friend's wise words because they are the keys to living a rewarding life.\nIn this episode, I discuss the story of Kai-Fu Lee and the experiences of Australian author Bronnie Ware. I use these stories to discuss why experiences are the keys to enjoying a rewarding life, not the pursuit of possessions. I describe the scientific benefits of experiences and how you can relate this to your own journey of intentionality.\nYou work to live, not live to work. Work on what brings you happiness. The tools from today's episode ought to be helpful for anyone looking to understand how to create a rewarding life.\nOur Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.\nThank you to our sponsors:\nMAGIC MIND.
