Reader, do you believe being lost can be fabulous? This thesis was presented by Ally Klymenko at the World Happiness Summit. And it is the inspiration for this week's #ShowUpPositive Spark, which is BECOMING. Ally is a Ukrainian activist and creator of a free education program to teach resilience to her compatriots. Last year, she took the WOHASU stage to tell the story of her work and its impact on well-being as people faced the realities of war. Asked to return this year, she felt lost and unclear about what meaningful message she could share. The answer was to talk about feeling LOST, and these are the nuggets I gleaned from her. People think being lost is bad or sad, but being lost is FABULOUS because it means you are

Reader, here's why and how to cast your anchor. Dr. Michael Steger leads the Center for Meaning and Purpose. At the World Happiness Summit (WOHASU), he shared some shocking information: "Modern economies satisfy people... but they wither Meaning & Purpose and amplify desperation."
