Hi everybody, this short segment is what we call for the good of the order.

It's something we used to do at the end of my sorority meetings if you can believe that,

where someone would share something that they came across in the course of the week,

a poem, a song lyric, a short story, that they found enormously helpful as they went

about daily life.

And I wanted to pick up the thread because I am so often wowed by something I see in

the world that I want to bring back and hand off to you.

So every Friday, we produce a short segment called for the good of the order.

Think of it like an audio greeting card.

A thing to share with the people that you love around the country who you don't get to

see or talk to enough.

A thing to discuss with the people you do see and talk to on a more regular basis.

This is Kelly Corrigan Wonders for the good of the order.

Hey everybody, this week's for the good of the order comes from my friends at the Greater

Good Science Center.

They had rounded up the top 10 insights from the science of a meaningful life in 2022.

And there's just one that I wanted to talk about today because it goes to this larger

thing that I think about often, which is the role of expectations in how we experience

life and what I might call misreading the signals.

So the insight that Greater Good pointed out was that leaning into uncomfortable feelings

could help us achieve bigger life goals, which maybe sounds familiar to you.

But the nugget in this for me was that you should expect that things will be hard.
