The Problem Over millions of years of evolution, it was more important for our ancestors to react to threats than to opportunities. Here’s why: if you live in the wild under dangerous conditions and miss out on a “carrot,” you could go get another one later – but if you fail to avoid a “stick,” […]

Gratitude is a Choice by: Shanti Medina

A vintage-style neon sign with the words "Thank You!" in red cursive letters is mounted on a textured, weathered wall, exuding a sense of gratitude. The background is dimly lit, adding an aged and retro feel to this nostalgic choice of decor.
