Whether you choose to have children.
As a new parent, I have felt the profound impact that bringing a life into this world can have on your focus and happiness.

How you choose to treat yourself.
Time spent alone steadily increases throughout your life.
To live well, you have to learn to love yourself—to treat yourself with tremendous self-respect.
Take time to smile at yourself in the mirror every morning.
Simple, but works wonders.
