Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff.

Over the span of three decades now of working with a variety of people,

as a clinical psychologist, I've learned a few things about people.

One of the biggest things that I've learned is people come in very different types, and I don't

mean shapes and sizes. I'm talking about they come with questions and

some people come with very deep questions, hard questions, like what is their purpose in life?

Why are they here?

And there's other people that really don't seem to worry about that too much.

They just live their life and have bumps along the way and want help with those bumps.

Where it really pronounces with young people, again, some kids that I work with come in and they just want to play with the toys.

Others will sit across from me at the very same age, say they're 9, 10, whatever age they may be.

And they just want to talk. They want to ask questions, they want to explore things with me to figure out why they're struggling.

It's really amazing how different we are.

I remember once meeting a guy and we were just talking he wasn't a client of

mind is someone I met and we were talking about what we thought about I know it sounds

funny but we were and he told me that he never thought about purpose of why he was here.

He just lived his life and he never asked deep questions ever.

And I was so surprised because I've spent my life asking deep questions.

We were probably as different mentally in regards to why we're here as possible.

In regards to purpose, in regards to

purpose in regards to asking questions.

And as I said, I've seen that in so many different people.
