Cultivate Gratitude and Optimism Every Day

A note to young leaders.

Your mood and well-being are less a matter of where you are and more a matter of where your gaze is fixed.

You can be sitting in a slum but looking at the sunset.

Don’t ignore the negative – but fix your gaze only on what is good, pure and excellent.

Ninety percent of your consciousness should be rooted in either gratitude for the present or enthusiasm for the sunlit future.
