					<description><![CDATA[Welcome to&#160;NOvember, a series of short, simple reflections on the art of saying no. The Cheshire Cat was right. If you don&#8217;t know where you&#8217;re going, any road will get you there. We live in an aimless age, partly due to a disordered view of priorities. The word &#8220;priority&#8221; comes from the Medieval Latin terms&#160;prioritas&#160;or&#160;prioritatem, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided to spend this month writing about the best productivity tip around. Welcome to NOvember, a series of short, simple reflections on the art of saying no. You don’t have to be a “people pleaser” to hate saying no.  Most people dislike it.&#160; Let&#8217;s face it, delivering a no is usually less enjoyable than [&#8230;]]]></description>

Ruts are merely routines that stopped being re-evaluated.&#160;&#160; They can show up anywhere in our lives, but they&#8217;re most common in our relationships. Despite the best intentions, every relationship can get stale. But no relationship has to stay that way. All summer long, my wife [&#8230;]]]></description>

So to you, I say again, happy birthday!&#160;🎂 Even if today isn&#8217;t your special day, you can still celebrate, as a guy I met while speaking in Canada reminded me.

					<description><![CDATA[Years ago, my wife shared a story about a guy named Steve who was attempting to grow the world&#8217;s largest pumpkin. Unfortunately, it wasn&#8217;t meant to be, as a half-inch crack at the base of his 1,800-pound behemoth disqualified him from the Giant Pumpkin Grower’s annual weigh-off. (The current world record for heaviest pumpkin is [&#8230;]]]></description>

I know kids are back in school, which is a convenient but not universal guidepost. But when&#160;exactly&#160;is the first day of fall? Valentine&#8217;s Day. St. Patrick&#8217;s Day. Christmas.

					<description><![CDATA[Forget about liberal and conservative; if you really want to stir the pot, call someone a&#160;pessimist. I recently shared the&#160;benefits of being optimistic, and the response it generated was fascinating. I enjoyed these creative takes: &#8220;The glass is always full… don’t forget about the air inside.&#8221; &#8220;Not only is the glass half-empty; it&#8217;s the wrong [&#8230;]]]></description>

You won&#8217;t find it on any calendar, unless it&#8217;s a Celebrate Everything calendar (the 2027 edition is coming soon!) We invented it because the idea that you can&#8217;t make up your own holidays is&#160;a rule that doesn&#8217;t exist. It coincides with the launch of our website and the [&#8230;]]]></description>
