Pouring out ideas is better for creativity than doling them out by the teaspoon.

Enthusiasm is a form of social courage.

Self-knowledge makes me happy.

Volunteering to help others is the right thing to do, and it also boosts personal happiness

I've noticed that a lot of people do much better when all their resolutions are framed as 'Yes.' Not something like, "I'm going to give up French Fries," but something like "I'm going to eat three vegetables every day." "I'm going to hug more, kiss more, touch more." "I'm going to listen to more music." They do better when they frame things in the positive. And I think this is just part of human nature.
