Cry!
It’s time for your Thursday thought of the week. This one comes from a little girl that I saw on Instagram. Her name is Mihira. She says, “The clouds also rain when they are heavy. If you feel heavy, you can cry. Nothing will happen.” As someone who specializes in emotional intelligence, I say, hooray […]

But here’s the problem about how our mind works. When we’re in the habit of continually looking for the problem and focusing on […]
