So important! If you鈥檙e facilitating or chairing a meeting be curious and don鈥檛 assume disengagement!

Silence is not always a sign of disengagement. It's sometimes a symbol of deep reflection.

The quieter people in the room aren't refusing to contribute. They're choosing to process before reacting.

It's usually better to think without speaking than to speak without thinking.

Meaning may be healthier than happiness.

23-year study: A sense of purpose is a more robust predictor of longevity than life satisfaction. Having worthwhile goals is a source of vitality.

It鈥檚 nice to feel happy today. It鈥檚 important to have something to strive for tomorrow.

When parents only ask about grades and goals, kids infer that achievement comes first.

To signal that we value their well-being and character, we should also ask about happiness and kindness:

-What made you feel joyful? Sad or worried?
-Who did you help? Who helped you?

Hope. So underrated. Keeping it real but letting the sun shine in. Thanks @AdamMGrant

The attitude that helps most with intense stress is not mindfulness. It鈥檚 hope.

In hard times, it鈥檚 overwhelming to live only in the present. What brings strength is anticipating a brighter future.

Resilience lies in remembering that today's burdens may be lighter tomorrow.
