Happiness Vs. Joy
The older I get, the more I realize that joy is infinitely more rewarding than periodic happiness.
Be True and Free
These dogs are 100% true to themselves, apparently.

Student Council Elections
I say this every year during Student Council election time: Adults could take a cue from these 4th – 8th graders when it comes to running a campaign.
This is what they do:
- Stick to positive actions they want to actuate;
- Talk only about what THEY stand for and how receptive they will be to help the community;
- Give heartfelt speeches despite their fear of public speaking
…and candidates who lose tearfully congratulate the winners.
It’s an endless source of inspiration and hope for me. I feel optimistic and happy about our future because these kids have huge hearts and really put themselves out there.
We adults just need to be better role models for them.

True Productivity
Stay curious. Ask yourself, “What would happen if I dipped the whole side of the brush, for example…”
While experimenting with my own brushes and hearing her words, I thought of how critical it is to stay curious in life. It’s so easy (and debilitating) to allow things and people to get “old” on you.
We complain that we’re bored, but maybe WE have become boring.
Stay curious.
Ask yourself, “What if…” (and act on that question!) at least once a day.
Stories We Tell Ourselves
