The best way to get inside someone’s head is to tell them a story they can’t stop thinking about… 

You don’t have to be wrong to be not right. 

Wrong is anything that is not the best option for you and those you care about. While actions, choices, ideas, and words might not be not wrong, unless they are your best path forward, they will never be right. 

Connection erases misunderstanding. 

Connection dissolves anger. 

Connection creates support. 

Connection scares away fear.

To be more, do more, and help more: Connect More. 

Energy is created.

Energy is spent.

Energy is shared.

Energy can be felt.

Use yours the best way. 

Being kind is easier in the longer term.

Being kind is easier in the short term. 

Anger is selfish.

Anger takes too much energy. 

The more time you spend making sure you are on the right path, the less time you will need to spend adjusting your course. 

If you are pursuing the right things, the right actions become evident. 

Most of us have a hard time learning new things. Especially when what we learned helps us feel good about ourselves. 

Empathy is so judgy!

In order to pretend to know what someone else is going through, you need to judge them and their situation. 

Pretending you understand what someone else is going through is pure arrogance. No one can know what another is feeling exactly, the extent of those feelings, and how those feelings are affecting all previous experiences.  Some people try to label this as a positive ability, as empathy (like: “I am an Empath.” … really?). This is just self-indulgence and pride. A so called “empath” is often just someone who hasn’t learned to master their emotions so those unwanted or unhelpful emotions eventually turn into feelings and then the “empath” deludes themself into thinking they are connecting with someone else. 

Compassion is real. 

Sympathy is real. 

Empathy, be definition, does not exist though. 

Kindness and love exist in the absence of personal judgments. 

Care is love in action. 

The more you care, the less you judge, and the less you worry about the judgements of others. 

Seeing makes us want to do. 

Doing makes us want to see. 

Connect doing and seeing and deep learning becomes natural. 

Just because you are better, it doesn’t mean you will win. 

Just because you are more talent, it doesn’t mean you will thrive. 

Just because you are more experienced, it doesn’t mean you will succeed. 

Effort, Teamwork, and Courage are the variables that actually determine the outcome. 

As we train new skills, we create habits and skills that can become automatic. When we encounter surprising or stressful situations, those automatic habits are what can help us immediately.  The more we prepare, the more we end up thriving. 

In addition to millions of anecdotes, science proves that more we are physically active, the less stress and anxiety we feel.
