Too often we forget how powerful we are as individuals to shape how other people see the world. Each one of us constantly broadcasts to other people - whether consciously or unconsciously - verbally or non-verbally - and those messages influence their brain.

With technology and over-scheduling, we are forgetting to invest time in simple connective moments with others.

If you want a particular behavior from someone else, try spotlighting those times when he or she is already doing it.

I realized there was a better way to broadcast the news that empowered people to believe they could overcome challenges.

There is a compelling case showing us that we actually change people all the time. And when we fully realize this, we start to see how powerful we are to get others unstuck, see that their behavior matters, and start taking steps to create happiness and success in their lives.

Following celebrities or people you don't regularly see in person often doesn't add to our happiness. The best use of social media is to deepen existing close relationships or create new ones.

Fun can be a great motivator.
