I first saw this stunning TED talk at least 5 years ago (maybe more) but I still think about it all the time! Worth a 2nd (or 3rd) watch.

Great piece about overcoming failure in your creative endeavors and trusting your instincts.

Ready for a good cry? This is one of the most touching demonstrations of selflessness and love I’ve seen in quite some time. How far would YOU go to support a friend?

Fascinating scientific presentation of how mind-wandering may be draining your happiness quotient. One of the more surprising findings is that even when people’s minds wander off to pleasant things, they’re less happy than when they are fully present in the moment.

In honor of Women’s History Month (and LeanIn.org’s first anniversary), Getty Images and LeanIn.org recently launched the “Lean In Collection” an impressive library of positive images of women, families (and in some cases even men).

The library is devoted to the powerful depiction of women, girls and the people who support them.  Jointly curated by Getty Images and LeanIn.Org – the women’s empowerment nonprofit founded by Sheryl Sandberg – the collection features over 2,500 images of female leadership in contemporary work and life.

Check out the full collection here and be sure to support this wonderful project and so that more photographers will be inspired to continue creating empowering images of women in contemporary life.

When is the last time you did absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes? No texting, talking or even thinking?

How long can you go without your phone? Can you enjoy a special moment without recording it? Can you tolerate the boredom of waiting, or driving, or laying in bed? Can you just be present, without giving into the urge to see what’s happening online?

 

A fresh pep talk from Kid President: “You’re made from love, to be loved, to spread love.” I LOVE KID PRESIDENT!!

Even if you don’t believe in fairy tales, this is one of the most romantic proposals I’ve ever seen.

This hilarious parody is a pretty solid “what not to do” guide to Valentines Day. Enjoy a good chuckle today!
