Happiness is really just about four things: perceived control, perceived progress, connectedness (number and depth of your relationships), and vision/meaning (being part of something bigger than yourself).

If you're worried about putting food on the table or putting a roof over your head, that stress is definitely will contribute to unhappiness, but once you have your basic needs met then incremental money.

For individuals, character is destiny. For organizations, culture is destiny.

Don't be cocky. Don't be flashy. There's always someone better than you.

For me, my role is about unleashing what people already have inside them that is maybe suppressed in most work environments.

The ultimate definition of success is: you could lose everything that you have and truly be okay with it. Your happiness isn't based on external factors.

The biggest (and hardest) lesson I've learned in life is that the external world is just a reflection of the world within.
