Those who lead by example and demonstrate passion for what they do make it much easier for their followers to do the same.

People will do something—including changing their behavior—only if it can be demonstrated that doing so is in their own best interests as defined by their own values.

If you aren't opening doors for people, you are closing them!

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

The great Western disease is, ‘I'll be happy when... When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job. When I get the relationship,’ Well, the reality is, you never get to when. 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.

Treat every piece of advice as a gift or a compliment and simply say, “Thank you.

Look to the present. The great disease of 'I will be happy when ...' is sweeping the world. You know the symptoms. You start thinking: I'll be happy when I get that ... BMW ... promotion ... status ... money. The only way to cure the disease is to find happiness and meaning now.
