I can't control the other person's behavior, but I can control my response. Their actions may be rude or unacceptable, but I still want my response to be measured and thoughtful. Even if they aren't doing what is right, I still want to make sure I'm doing what is right.

Being shy is not the same as being introverted.

'The honest answer to 'How are you?' is more than one word.

Each day offers a tapestry of emotions. Every life has highlights & heartaches. They don't just average out to 'okay.'

A well-designed life is a life that is generative—it is constantly creative, productive, changing, evolving, and there is always the possibility of surprise.

Emotions can point us in the direction of what we care about most.

Rather than letting an emotion spiral out of control, take a deep breath and pause. Consider what the emotion is trying to tell you and identify one small way you can move toward that value in the moment.

When people assess an experience, they tend to forget or ignore its length—“duration neglect.” Instead, they seem to rate the experience based on two key moments: (1) the best or worst moment, known as the “peak”; and (2) the ending. Psychologists call it the “peak-end rule.”
