The question is, ‘Are you taking the time to explore … possibilities?’

‘Everything reinforces everything else.’

‘Life is best lived when we experience it seemlessly and holistically, with body, mind, and spirit conspiring together for the good of the whole person.’

‘Adversity and suffering are useful in sculpting a life. It prepares us to appreciate the range of life experiences and what each can teach us.’

‘Authentic people view failure not as the end, but as the beginning of a journey of discovery grounded in humility.’

‘Authentic leaders understand their vulnerabilities.’

‘Pride is our Achilles’ heel and is utterly destructive to a life hungering for meaning.’

‘The only way to open the door to forgiveness is to separate people from their acts.’

‘Grateful people thrive because they pay attention to the right things.’

‘Great minds embrace a lifestyle of integration, understanding that insights and discoveries frequently arise by associations in different parts of the brain, often when we appear ‘distracted’ and unfocused.’

‘Only when we see our life’s purpose through the lens of service and caring are we truly fulfilled.’

Immunity Is Not Permanent

‘Being smart, strong, successful, and resourceful is not enough. The immunity you think you have is not real, and the protections you think you have in place are not permanent.’

‘You don’t have a multi-disciplinary team paid to support you- you only have your own health.’

‘Be self-aware and pay attention to early signs of a decrease in your resilience.’

‘In resilience, unhelpful thoughts eat your best intentions for breakfast.’

‘One thing we have control over is our thoughts. We need to listen to our self-talk and watch for possible biases to make good decisions.’

‘When it comes to your resilience, tipping too far toward optimism can become a liability.’

‘Resources are limited, just like in business. Which means you have to make choices.’

‘Start with clarity on your values and the forces affecting your context.’

‘We don’t want an unrealistic plan you do not implement; we want a realistic plan you start today.’

‘You may tell yourself that you can’t possibly need help to design something that should be so obvious. The reality is that it’s not.’

‘Strategy is only as strong as its execution.’
