“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”

― Mother Teresa

 

At my “job” (like most other jobs), we record metrics as a measurement of how well we are serving people. Are we growing? Are we on the right path? Sometimes we can get caught up in the numbers, when the most important thing is the PEOPLE the numbers represent. Never forget that we serve humanity, not a metric 🙂 Start caring with The One In Front Of U!

Manufacture your Happiness

This is a great Ted.com talk! Dan Gilbert discusses each of us has the power to create our happiness and it does not come from the outside world. I love his summary:

“The lesson I want to leave you with, from this data, is that our longings and our worries are both to some degree overblown, because we have within us the capacity to manufacture the very commodity we are constantly chasing when we choose experience”

He discusses a study they conducted where when people were given a choice of a painting and one group could come back and choose a different one, another group could only pick once and then keep it. The happiest group was the group who did NOT have the choice to return/to make another decision. They decided to be happy with what they had instead.
