00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.400
And so when we have a sense
of spirituality, a larger sense
2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.639
of meaning and purpose,
connecting to something
3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:12.519
that goes beyond the self, I think
that it's very very important
4
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:17.280
because first of all,
one of the most important ingredients
5
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:22.320
of well-being and also of
generosity and compassion
6
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.679
is focusing more on others
then on oneself.
7
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.160

sense of spirituality
8
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.520
we get outside of ourselves
so to speak.

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.840
We're focused more on
others than on ourselves.
10
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:46.560
It's also helpful in connecting
to a larger sense of meaning
11
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.399
and purpose which can underlie
our behavior and our experience
12
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:56.759
and provides a kind of
compass for orienting our life.
