Many people do not distinguish between something that happens to them and their reaction to it. Yet it isn't the event or situation that holds the emotional charge; it's our beliefs that create our response.

We rigidify our self-image to portray a certain identity to the world, which is one of the key impediments to authenticity.

Great leaders help their people see how they can directly impact the company's objectives and their own personal goals.

Younger people tend to associate happiness more with excitement and the future, while older people tend to associate happiness with peacefulness in the present.
