If you think about it, we are the world’s most valuable resource: humans. We shape our own future and the future of those around us. It’s time to value human intelligence over artificial intelligence. What’s stopping us?

“How you maximize your potential?” To conquer the question, we go back to the common phrase, “Is the glass half empty or half full?” Your answer may have a bigger impact on your success, and the success of those around you than you think. Positive habits and thought patterns not only impact you, but your team, your organization, and your community.

The greatest resource is us, all 7 billion of us

This can hold you back from pursuing new opportunities or even getting noticed at work. Positive thinking and expressing positive emotions can help you. For example, research has shown that through the process of positive thinking, you can benefit from better problem solving, efficiency, self-awareness, resilience and, even, energy levels!

So, how can you stay at the wheel? Activate your best self, and with it, fuel the movements of tomorrow. Here’s how.
