Being reality based - can be hard to do when you are stressed out. Learning how to cope with anxiety - without relying on the false hope of what are essentially hoaxes - is a really useful life skill.

Some days you are going to be really productive. Other days you will not. Productivity and motivation ebbs and flows. It's ok if somedays, you just can't focus to get work done. Do something else.  The next day will probably be better.

My new friend Kalai - is an expert on emotional intelligence.  He said that he defines stupidity as - stumped by your emotions.  I think he's right. The moments when I act stupidest - is when my emotions are controlling me.  What do you think?

Play the long game. As long as you have an overall winning record, you are doing fine.

My son - was mad at me. The problem?  If he hurts me - he also hurts himself.  Life is full of choices. Choose your actions wisely.

Get to know people. Make new friends. You never know who might be able to help you - randomly. #Humanism in action.

I got to interview Sherri Sutton today about appreciative inquiry. She said before she works with a company - she asks the CEO - what positive changes are you willing to make to help your employees. If they aren't actually willing to change - she doesn't work with them.

I think this is a great question to ask - not just the people we work with - but ourselves. What positive changes are you willing to make?

On my mind - why humanism is not compatible with nationalism

When employees come up with creative solutions - encourage them. Don't get mad because they weren't doing it "your" way.

We are all at some point going to die. The question is - how do we live life fully without sucumbing to existential angst.
