Passion that becomes an obsession to the point of obscuring other important life activities is not going to help you thrive.

…emotional agility leaves room for the considered decision to quit something that is no longer helping you. And that can be a very good thing.

The most agile and adaptive response to an unattainable goal is goal adjustment, which entails both disengaging… and then re-engaging in an alternative.

Emotional agility… involves moving toward clear, challenging, and achievable goals… not because you think you have to, or because you’ve been told to, but because you want to, because they’re important to you.

While it’s customary to accept certain constraints in exchange for a paycheck, employment is not bondage, and employees are not chattel.

…agility begins with unhooking ourselves from unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and patterns and aligning our everyday actions with our long-term values and aspirations.

It’s only when we practice emotional agility that we’re able to shift perspectives and move into continued investigation, discovery, and an evolving understanding of the people and situations we encounter.

To truly show up at the office means making room for and labeling your thoughts and emotions and seeing them for what they are: information rather than facts or directives.

..secondhand stress can have a profound effect on everyone in its vicinity.

…while stress can be a killer, it turns out that stressing about stress… is the real killer.
