We just de-cluttered our house in order to put it on the market. It feels so good I wonder why we didn’t de-clutter it a long time ago.
Why do we live with so much stuff we don't need? It's not just a house question but a life question too.
Why do we fill our life with so many things that weigh us down? Things we never use. Thoughts that hold us back. Habits that limit us. Distractions that derail us. Negative people that drain us. Fear that paralyzes us. And countless time zappers that sabotage our performance and productivity.

I’ve been speaking to a lot of organizations around the country and the one thing I keep hearing from leaders and employees is that complaining is at an all time high. I’m not surprised.

!--paging_filter--pI have a confession. Despite the fact that I work to develop positive leaders, schools and teams, Irsquo;m not naturally a positive person./p
pThe research says itrsquo;s not my fault. Turns out some people are born with a more positive disposition while others are born with more of a negative disposition./p
pBut there is hope. The latest research in neuroscience and positive psychology demonstrates that we can mold our brains and ourselves to be more positive, which is great news for me and my children./p

!–paging_filter–pThere was a time in most of our lives when we had no fearmdash;that feeling when we jumped from the jungle gym and slammed our little bodies to the ground./p
pPerhaps it was when we went on our first roller coaster, or when we were in high school or college and felt that there was nothing we couldn’t do./p
pNo goal was unattainable. We were an unstoppable force that would think of something and then make it happen./p

I was recently on a plane to somewhere when Leonard told me about a time when his life was going nowhere.
He told me how six months earlier, at the age of 54, he lost his job at a Fortune 500 company. He thought his life and business career were finished. No one is going to hire a 54-year-old sales professional, he frequently told himself. Each day he grew more fearful, pessimistic and depressed.
Then one day while taking a walk of sadness along the beach he thought of his 21-year-old son and it occurred to him…

"You have more control and influence than you think you do."
These were the words of an economist I heard speak as he talked about the economy, the housing market and the recession.

One simple rule is having a big impact.
I didn’t invent the rule. I discovered it—at a small, fast growing, highly successful company that implements simple practices with extraordinary results.
One day I was having lunch with Dwight Cooper, a tall, thin, mild-mannered former basketball player and coach who had spent the last 10 years building and growing a company he co-founded into one of the leading nurse staffing companies in the world.

With so many people in the world telling us we can’t succeed, we need to hear people telling us we can.
I remember my high school English teacher telling me not to apply to Cornell University because they wouldn’t accept me and even if they did I wouldn’t be able to do the work. (It’s funny that I’m a writer now).
