The best way that we can begin to produce positive change is to make peace with what is in ourselves and others, and then work to move forward and make life even better.

To help others develop, start with yourself! When the boss acts like a little god and tells everyone else they need to improve, that behavior can be copied at every level of management. Every level then points out how the level below it needs to change. The end result: No one gets much better.

The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It's in here. And happiness is not next week. It's now.

What got you here won't get you there.

The only way to cure the disease is to find happiness and meaning now.

If we can stop, listen, and think about what others are seeing in us, we have a great opportunity. We can compare the self that we want to be with the self that we are presenting to the rest of the world. We can then begin to make the real changes that are needed to close the gap between our stated values and our actual behavior.

With problems and issues groups face- there is an enormous disconnect between understanding and doing.
