Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile

What we count is as important as the amount we count

Chip Conley speaks at the TED conference

Great refresher course on Abraham Maslow and how he might have changed his pyramid had he lived longer:

What should we be measuring Gross National Happiness (GNS)?

If Pigs Could Fly…

You never know where you’ll find inspiration, so I look for it everywhere.

My friend Dr. Ben Mack has been spreading good energy and reminding us the love is the answer

I always smile when I hear this, remembering a favorite poster from my youth.. but got thinking how love is the answer to many, if not all of life’s questions.

It certainly has been the answer to questions about relationship in business. Yes, loving customers, partners, vendors, co-workers has an ROI (return on investment).. I get more done, have more fun, and feel good all day long when I answer questions about people with “how can we love more?”

Imagining a Better World of the Future

Let’s combine this with a video shared by my friend George Karahalios

Watch the pig flying.. get past the easy question of “how do they get that pig to fly?” and ask yourself “What would be possible if I let it be possible?”

How Can Love Change Our Future?

Let me hear from you. Post your answer to this question in the comments below.

There are no rules. If you feel inspired to say something else, please feel free to post. We want to encourage inspiration and will respond with love.

Imagine your world without limitation. Share the love.

The Top 10 Traits of Happy People

HowStuffWorks has great lists to shortcut learning just about anything.

Here’s what they said about the traits of HAPPY PEOPLE

Despite the difficulty in pinning down what happiness is and how to achieve it, HowStuffWorks.com has taken a stab at it in this article, in which they offer 10 key tips.

• Keep Happy People Around: Studies have shown that happiness is contagious. When someone’s friends or neighbors experience happiness, those positive feelings are often passed on to the people around them. Happy people also tend to cluster together in social groups.
• Exercise: Exercising lowers the body’s levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress. You may have also heard of endorphins. Exercise causes the pituitary gland to release these powerful, mood-boosting chemicals.
• Meditate: Some studies show that meditation improves happiness. Consequently, activities like meditation, yoga and practicing mindfulness may boost your level of happiness and satisfaction.
