As Americans, we typically move full steam ahead without much regard to mindfulness or thoughtful reflection, often to one's own detriment. Yet it is that same propensity for bold action which makes fulfilling the "American Dream" possible--where an immigrant can come to our country with nothing and achieve extraordinary things." --

I have a few friends who are confined to wheelchairs for access and mobility. I don't want to always be looking down at them while they are looking up at me. To enjoy a meaningful conversation, I'm quick to kneel beside them or pull up a chair to talk at the same height. Begin to recognize the orientation of other people and align yourself with their body position and physical needs so that you may connect on a more balanced and effective l..

To cultivate bravery and courage, change your attitude toward failure. Many successful people will tell you that if you aren't failing, you aren't trying--that failure is an essential precursor to achieving worthwhile endeavors. Failing (no matter how hard) is one of life's best teachers for winning the next time.

Although my sister, Liz, is socially engaging and very confident with people, she tends to more of an introvert. She generates energy from the inside, from center to circumference, and would rather have one-on-one conversations to connect quietly and deeply.

However, if you focus on their positives and can find something redeeming, regardless of how small, the positivity needed ..
