Daily Gratitude: Take this wisdom from Maya Angelou. You need passion and compassion to round out your being. There’s so much in between but if you can bookend everything else with just these two qualities, your life has a greater probability of being successful.

And of course humor helps everyone get through the day more easily.

But most importantly you need a mission no matter your age. You shouldn’t just be content with surviving. Having a deep mission can change that to thriving. Once you figure out your current mission, you will begin to thrive.

This may seem overwhelming but it’s only a few things you need to cultivate and pay attention to. Work hard on passion, compassion, humor and your mission. That should come before all else.
