Being at the top isn’t the same as being happy. The upper ranks of most organisations are dominated by insecure overachievers. Following their example is unlikely to be fulfilling
Unless we’re facing major adversity, most stress isn’t about the events in our life - it comes from how we respond to them. This is more within our control than we realise
People want to feel heard. It’s more important to focus on what they’re really saying than on planning what you’re going to say in reply
Integrity matters. Although there’s lots we can’t control, we can own our actions and their consequences
If you’re mainly focused on your stuff, do something for someone else today If you’re mainly helping others, do something to care for yourself today
Dare to pause in a world that never stops. Notice the sensations in your body and the life happening around you
Although it may not feel like it at the time, being firm can be an important form of kindness
Doing the thing is usually a better use of time than talking about the thing
The way we speak to ourselves shapes our reality and expectations. Choose encouraging words
Look for common humanity. Before criticising, ask yourself: “In what ways do I behave similarly?”. When praising, ask: “What are similar good characteristics about me?”
Unplug to recharge. Give yourself the gift of less screen time and more outdoors time today
Don’t outsource your sense of self-worth. Learning to be comfortable with yourself is more helpful than seeking validation from others
Reframe your day. Take something that’s frustrating you and find a way to see it as an opportunity
Spend as much time as possible on things that bring joy or meaning. Spend as little time as possible on things that bring neither
You don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward. Just start by taking the next small step
Ask yourself: What’s gone well recently? Even on tough days there are things to be thankful for
Try to spend more time in places where you feel nourished and less where you feel drained
Avoid misunderstandings. If something helpful “goes without saying” it’s usually best to go ahead and say it anyway
It’s less important how fast you’re getting there. It’s more important you’re climbing the right mountain
Learning to like ourselves brings more peace of mind than trying to be liked by everyone else

Today is the 4th anniversary of the UK lockdown. Still staggering to think how much permanent change to our lives that day ushered in.
I’ll tell you what sets you up for a mega weekend - the WhatsApp message “anyone free for a last minute spare ticket for England v Wales?” at 4:09pm on a Friday afternoon.
@markwilliamson Absolutely. There's always a reason, even it doesn't make sense. Sometimes there's trauma beneath that belief, with all its emotion-based complications. Listening respectfully, without imposing one's own beliefs, frees things up for those concerned.
@markwilliamson @actionhappiness Good question @markwilliamson, delivering the Oration for the Nelson Mandela Day Australia Celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights centreforoptimism.com/mandela
@markwilliamson @actionhappiness “Oh no it isn’t “ - Monty Python argument sketch. “Is this the five minute argument or the full half hour?”. It’s very very funny and makes your point well.
@markwilliamson @actionhappiness When we are young, we worry what others think of us. When we’re middle aged we don’t care what others think of us. When we’re old we realise they were all too busy thinking about themselves to think about us!
@markwilliamson Saying "no" when you want to say no shows that you're not a people pleaser, and that you have self-respect and dignity. Set your boundaries, people!
@markwilliamson It usually is an affliction - they’re suffering from addiction (porn, alcohol, drugs, sex), sadness, loneliness, stress, trauma… usually something they don’t feel they can talk about and/or are unaware of.
@markwilliamson I learned this in a Buddhist meditation setting, years ago: "Imagine the person with a swarm of flies around their head..." Was fascinated to read recently that bad temper and vindictiveness may be related to low blood sugar - explains a lot! Own boundaries v important, too.
@markwilliamson @actionhappiness My granny used to say this all the time. She was very wise.
@markwilliamson @actionhappiness When we ask for help, we let others be heroes too. It’s a win-win.
@markwilliamson I'm thinking about this a great deal and I have decided to stop counting my age. I think that as we get to certain age 'milestones' they can affect our outlook on life and we and others risk then fulfilling the stereo type of that age. I'm just going to always be around 30 💙🙏
@markwilliamson @actionhappiness Best time to plant a tree? 20 years ago. Well 50 or more actually. Second best time to plant a tree? Today.
