Positive relationships with friends and family are vital for happiness and health. Good connections with others are an important part of emotional support. They reduce feelings of loneliness and boost overall mood.

Studies have shown that people keeping strong social ties live longer, with lower rates of anxiety and less depression, while often enjoying better immune function. 

Family, friends, and community all play a role in nurturing these relationships which enrich your life with joy and emotional stability. Investing in these bonds elevates your happiness and also strengthens your overall health.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
