Positivity opens us. The first core truth about positive emotions is that they open our hearts and our minds, making us more receptive and more creative.

Positivity transforms us for the better.

Positivity doesn't just change the contents of your mind...It widens the span of possibilities that you see.

Flourishing goes beyond happiness, or satisfaction with life. True, people who flourish are happy. But that's not the half of it. Beyond feeling good, they're also doing good-adding value to the world.

Positive people are able to maintain a broader perspective and see the big picture which helps them identify solutions where as negative people maintain a narrower perspective and tend to focus on problems.

Love requires you to be physically and emotionally present. It also requires that you slow down.

Positive emotions are not trivial luxuries, but instead might be critical necessities for optimal functioning.
