Looking for a dose of inspiration to start your week? No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.
Today's talk is Want to be happy? Be grateful by David Steindl-Rast, a monk and interfaith scholar. The one thing all humans have in common is that each of us
wants to be happy, says Brother David Steindl-Rast. And happiness, he suggests, is born from gratitude. An inspiring
lesson in slowing down, looking where you're going, and above all, being
grateful.
After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:
- What resonated for you in the video?
- What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?
- As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?
- What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.
- How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?
