While most of us try to be truthful, we all lie on occasion. Some lies are minor (“Of course you don’t look fat in that outfit!”) and many are the “white lies” of everyday discourse (“This is the one product you cannot live without.”) In most cases, these lies do not cause harm and do not brand the liar as generally untrustworthy. But once you lie to someone about a matter of importance, you have damaged your relationship with that person in a way that is not easily mended.

Stress - That big elephant in the room that everyone experiences, but no one wants to talk about. Chronic stress does damage to the body in so many ways and leaves us susceptible to a host of diseases. It also causes a depletion of the most critical mineral that helps us to cope with stress - magnesium, thereby creating a vicious cycle. The more stressed you are, the lower your magnesium level, which leaves you even more stressed.

I've had the privilege over the years to work with amazing people, including our Contagious Optimism team today. As a leader in any organization, there is nothing better than having people around you who understand your vision and then execute it successfully. Some call this effect "synergy" and others call it "harmony." Having the right people around you is tough to find and you should consider yourself fortunate when you experience harmony among your team — like a fine motor that is perfectly calibrated.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you always had a steady flow of business? A pace that is manageable? Deadlines which are realistic? Forget it. It is not going to happen. It used to be that I could count on certain seasonal rushes. I knew there would be a mad dash to spend money and finish projects before my client’s year end or other peak times. I could also predict when business would be slow.
