Wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year! So by now, most of you might have already decided your resolutions for the year. Good job. However, try to stick to it. And for those who have not yet decided on what to follow this year, here is something. Forgive others. Go ahead and forgive people who have been mean to you, who have hurt you or who have always been your opponent.

Unforgiveness hinders your ability to live a successful and purposeful life. Unforgiveness is toxic to your body, mind, and soul. Just like fear, it hinders your ability to think clearly, and it is proven to negatively affect our immune system, stress levels, mental health, and emotional health, but not the offender’s.

Why should managers and leaders celebrate more?
Creating a feeling of celebration helps meet people’s needs for inclusion, innovation, appreciation, and collaboration. Our brains are designed to be social – and the need for human contact is greater than the need for safety. The research by Matt Lieberman and Naomi Eisenberger, scientists at UCLA, has shown that feeling socially excluded activates some of the same neural regions that are activated in response to physical pain, suggesting that social rejection may indeed be “painful.”

Three common responses are often used in those animal planet spins in life when we feel overlooked, underappreciated or misunderstood: ugly talk; stone walling and defensive behavior. One way to dilute the ugly behavior of those around you is to simply offer generous assumptions around their actions. Practice seeing and responding to others the way you desire to be seen and responded to.

In our early years, most of us moved up the ladder after several initial starts while we found our niche. Starting on a paper route, working for a fast food chain or babysitting, are the paths many of us took to begin our journey. Then college progressed and we fined tuned our trajectory toward a career goal. Some of us still changed directions after college until we found the best path leading to either a comfortable work environment or prosperity or both.

During the past 100 plus years there have been over five million books published on some aspect of success, wealth, and happiness. Now, tell me do you think that in your lifetime you can read a mere one percent of them (that’s about 50,000 books)? I know I can’t and I read over one hundred books every year. So, what’s a person to do if they want to be happier or more successful? Which books should they spend their valuable time reading? Which ideas are worth their time and resources to evaluate, consider, or act upon?

One day, during lunch break, a construction worker opened his lunchbox, pulled out two sandwiches, hoisted them aloft, and cried to the heavens in anguish, “Not peanut-butter sandwiches again!”
The next day, he opened his lunchbox, peered inside, and wailed in agony, “Not peanut butter sandwiches again!”

There's no blueprint for a successful career, but some early planning can definitely help you get where you want to be.
In our careers, many of us simply show up at work, do everything we are supposed to do and are surprised if the car does not move. Or if it does, it moves in a different direction to what we thought it would.

Every now and then we can all use a healthy dose of self-confidence, especially since our state of confidence ebbs and flows on a daily basis throughout the course of a lifetime. So what variables do we face that can undermine our security causing us to feel unsure of ourselves?
Whether it’s a transitional time that we’re going through…a change in career, a divorce, or a new move, these all have the ability to challenge our confidence causing additional stress in our lives.
