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

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.

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

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

The pursuit of meaning, not happiness, is what makes life worthwhile.

If you want people to understand that you value their contributions and that they are important, the recognition and praise you provide must have meaning that is specific to each individual.

Exercise is not enough. Working out three times a week is not enough. Being active throughout the day is what keeps you healthy.
