We're hard-wired to avoid anything that make's us feel physically (and emotionally) unpleasant or uncomfortable.

Everyone that comes to my office comments on how calm, relaxing and grounding the space feels.

What comes to mind when you think of resilience?

How often do you let the people in your life, your team or your business stumble, make a mistake or fail?

I caught up with a friend and ex-colleague last week who told me a story about a senior executive he works with who carries three marbles in his right pocket everyday.

In that moment, I thought about it helping me come from a present and loving place with what I say and do with those around me - friends, family, colleagues, clients.
