Inspire Friday ~ compassion creates happiness

June 8, 2012 By brittandreatta

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” ~ West African Proverb

This proverb highlights what we are all starting to recognize — that our lives are better and we are happier when we work together. Humans are biologically wired to care about others and studies on happiness have shown that helping others is a key component of happiness. Learn more in the great documentary I AM by Tom Shadyac.
And it turns out, it’s not just humans that are wired this way. The whole theory that animals are competitive and aggressive is crumbling as new research proves that when given a choice, animals show great compassion. Learn more by watching this great TED video on compassion and fairness in animals by Frans de Waal.

"Britt is a gifted facilitator, period. Whether in a large group setting or one-to-one, she guides in a way that keeps focus and structure while allowing for and encouraging spontaneous discovery. She knows the power that lies in the process itself, and creates an environment that encourages personal insight to emerge. I have benefitted greatly from some deep discoveries that have occurred in one-to-one and small group settings with Britt."

—Teresa Fanucchi


"Facilitating change, transformation and the realization of our authentic selves is clearly one of Britt’s many gifts and callings. Britt consistently brings kindness, compassion and a tireless commitment to supporting people in going for their dreams. She is a talented group facilitator, an empowering life coach, and an inspiring public speaker and teacher. It has been a priceless gift having Britt’s support in my life."

—Monica Lenches
