Recent research suggests that people who are optimistic and feel a purpose in living are able to ward off Alzheimer’s symptoms better than those who do not share such attitudes.
Surprisingly, a of people whose brains show the presence of Alzheimer’s disease never exhibited memory loss or intellectual impairment. Of course, these findings may simply be coincidental but, certainly, having a purpose in life gives life meaning, and certainly leads to a higher degree of happiness as opposed to others who are not upbeat.
There is certainly no downside to trying to make one’s life more meaningful.
