When we build on our strengths and daily successes — instead of focusing on failures — we simply learn more.

When we're able to put most of our energy into developing our natural talents, extraordinary room for growth exists

If you want to improve your life and the lives of those around you, you must take action.

Don’t worry about breaks every 20 minutes ruining your focus on a task. Contrary to what I might have guessed, taking regular breaks from mental tasks actually improves your creativity and productivity. Skipping breaks, on the other hand, leads to stress and fatigue.

Wellbeing is about the combination of our love for what we do each day, the quality of our relationships, the security of our finances, the vibrancy of our physical health, and the pride we take in what we have contributed to our communities.
