Tend Your Flame: Why Leaders Have a Moral Duty to Be Happy

You have a moral duty to make yourself happy.

This is because your happiness, or lack of it, affects everyone you come into contact with.

Happiness (and misery) are contagious.

This is especially true of leaders, because leadership magnifies impact.

A candle loses nothing by lighting other candles, but it must first tend to its own flame.

Tend your own flame.

Give yourself what you need to be happy.
