S06 | 02 - Illuminating your Path with Josephine Tite

Hope Motivates Action

“Hope is just enough light to illuminate the path you’re on so you don’t have to sit in complete darkness.”

The goal of our guest this week is to make sure that everyone has a sense of meaning and purpose when they take their last breath. Josephine Tite works with the elderly who live in home facilities to make their time there as meaningful as the rest of their life. Whether it is by setting small goals everyday, organizing bowling meets with them and their families, or helping them apply positive psychology to their lives, Josephine emphasizes the importance of finding a brand of hope that works best for each individual. Join us this week as Josephine and I explore the question--what does it mean to be hopeful?

Key Takeaways:

• Goals can be as small or as big as we need them to be. There is no minimum requirement.
• People living in elderly homing facilities experience a profound loss of sense of purpose.
• Positivity and hope aren’t age restricted!
• Hope means different things and lies in different spheres of life for everyone.
• How we apply positivity to our lives does not work the same forever.
• Apply positive psychology to your life to experience it--it’s not just about the science, it’s about the lived experience.

Mentioned in the episode:

• Positivity Center
• Snyder’s Theory of Hope
• Tools for Caring
