A key component of developing and strengthening our internal resilience is the quality of the relationships in our lives. In this fantastic interview, Shawn Achor shows us how to cultivate happiness and gratitude, how to select our "team" and empower them to support us in ways that really serve our well-being, and how to show up as a positive influence for the important others in our lives. I found this interview delightful, generous and deeply inspiring, and I hope you'll benefit from it, too.

"Sometimes I recognize myself in others.

I recognize myself in those who will endure, friends who will shelter me, beautiful holy fools of justice and

flying creatures of beauty and other bums and vagrants who walk the earth and will continue walking,

just as the stars will continue in the night and the waves in the sea.

Then, when I recognize myself in them, I am the air, coming to know myself as part of the wind."


- Eduardo Galeano, The Book of Embraces

We can look into the stove tonight
as into a mirror, yes,

the serrated log, the yellow-blue gaseous core

the crimson-flittered grey ash, yes.
I know inside my eyelids
and underneath my skin

Time takes hold of us like a draft
upward, drawing at the heats
in the belly, in the brain

You told me of setting your hand
into the print of a long-dead Indian
and for a moment, I knew that hand,

that print, that rock,
the sun producing powerful dreams
A word can do this

or, as tonight, the mirror of the fire
of my mind, burning as if it could go on
burning itself, burning down

feeding on everything
till there is nothing in life
that has not fed that fire


- Adrienne Rich
