The greatest competitive advantage in our modern economy is a positive and engaged brain.

You have to train your brain to be positive just like you work out your body.

Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.

Constantly scanning the world for the negative comes with a great cost. It undercuts our creativity, raises our stress levels, and lowers our motivation and ability to accomplish goals.

So many people are struggling to create happiness while their brain is inundated by noise. If your brain is receiving too much information, it automatically thinks you're under threat and scans the world for the negative first. Because the brain is limited, whatever you attend to first becomes your reality.

Success does not mean happiness. Check out any celebrity magazine to look for examples to disabuse you of thinking that being beautiful, successful or rich will make you happy.

Beliefs are so powerful because they dictate our efforts and actions.
