Talking points:
- The things that give us a sense of accomplishment don't always look, feel, or smell the same.
- Further, perhaps "sense of accomplishment" should be plural: "senses of accomplishment" implies that different things give us different kinds of satisfaction.
- A side passion project or hobby can turn a rotten day into a good one. It can be as simple as trying a new recipe for dinner, knowing that the audience will be different and perhaps more forgiving of mistakes.
- Different projects will employ different types of creativity and thinking.
- When you vary up your routine at the gym, you're working different parts of your body. When you create a diversified portfolio, you're mitigating financial risk. Your happiness and well-being can benefit from side passions, projects and hobbies, too.
