How to Leverage the L.E.A.P. Principle for Big Results
4 Simple Steps to Beat the Law of Diminishing Intent
The turn of the year is always a good time to evaluate what’s working in our lives, what’s not, and make any changes that will start us down a better path.
As we pause and reflect on where we’ve been and where we want to go, we normally have a sense of what to do. But that sense comes with a risk.

The Fine Line Between Working Hard and Letting Go
Plus the Simple Heuristic I Use to Know When to Press in and When to Back Off
Some of my favorite memories of growing up are building model airplanes with my dad. I remember him showing me how to assemble, sand, and paint them. I think back on how proud I always was when we finished a project together.
On one occasion, I remember struggling to get two parts to fit together. I tried several different angles. Nothing seemed to work. I grew increasingly frustrated.
Calmly, my dad said, “Son, don’t force it.” I stopped what I was doing, looked up at him, and instantly knew he was right.

What Giving as a Lifestyle Can Do for Your Health, Happiness, More
We’ve all heard it’s more blessed to give than to receive. Probably like you, I take that on faith. But it’s fun to see how research agrees that special benefits come from giving, not just receiving.
Giving has been an important part of Christmas ever since the Three Wise Men presented their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But sometimes it seems like receiving is the main point of the holiday, doesn’t it?
I get it. I like receiving gifts as much as the next person. But if you want to give yourself a real gift, try generosity toward others.
