When we encounter an unexpected challenge of threat the only way to save ourselves is to hold on tight to the people around us and not let go.

Positivity is such a high predicator of success rates.

Most people keep waiting on happiness, putting off happiness until they're successful or until they achieve some goal, which means we limit both happiness and success. That formula doesn't work.

Spend two minutes a day scanning the world for three new things you're grateful for. And do that for 21 days, The reason why that's powerful is you're training your brain to scan the world in a new pattern, you're scanning for positives, instead of scanning for threats. It's the fastest way of teaching optimism.

It's hard to find happiness after success if the goalposts of success keep changing.

Study after study shows that happiness precedes important outcomes and indicators of thriving.

You can eliminate depression without making someone happy. You can cure anxiety without teaching someone optimism. You can return someone to work without improving their job performance. If all you strive for is diminishing the bad, you'll only attain the average and you'll miss out entirely on the opportunity to exceed the average.
