Wherever we care the most, we engage our hearts as well as our minds. Relationships deepen and accomplishments grow. Through stories, practical examples, and specific tools listeners learn to think with heart and mind in all the settings of life. It’s the art of living well.

Where we lead with the heart, we embrace the other.

Part one: Picture the events of your day:

• Where do you work at being your best?
• Where do you know you should work at being your best but don’t?
• Where don’t you even consider being at your best?

Note: Being honest and don’t judge yourself.

Part two: What ‘being at your best’ means? 

• Consider the practical changes you know you should make.
• Consider the changes in attitude you know you should make.
• What does ‘being at your best’ mean in your various life settings — what you think, not others?  

Part three: Picture yourself at your best.

• Imagine that you’ve made the above changes.
• Picture your day’s upcoming events and see yourself at your best
• Think about these and then just live your life. Change will occur. 

Quotations

How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the whole day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day. 

— Anne Frank

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

— Maya Angelou

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
