The Way To Happiness

“There is only one way to happiness, and that is cease worrying about the things which are beyond the power of our will.” Epictetus, a Greek Stoic philosopher.

Leadership

“One of the keys to real leadership is fearlessly inviting those around you to be more successful in their lives; to view their success as your success, and your success as theirs. David Fischer, a longtime colleague of Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, says of Sheryl’s true leadership throughout her career, “A key part of what Sheryl does in her life is helping people advance, helping them to be seen and to be heard.” Echoing that sentiment, Seane Corn, Founder of Off the Mat Into the World, concurs. “Leadership means pulling people up with you as you rise.” May we all challenge ourselves to be perfectly willing to encourage others in the direction of their own success, so everyone thrives. Abundance.”

Which Wolf Are You Feeding?

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

He continued,”The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
