Instinctually, we fight against our uncomfortable emotions.

More people need to step up. When we take responsibility for making change wherever we can, not only does it make our companies, communities, and the world better, but we are happier and more successful and have more fulfilling relationships.

And so nothing ever changes.

America has passed a tipping point. A majority of Americans now say that truth is up to the individual and that ultimate truth cannot be known.
