“I really believe that human beings are meant to keep evolving. We are all a work in progress. I don't know anybody who's perfect … so how can we help humans become better?”
Huffington feels linked to the universe and has a profound trust that things happen for a reason. This includes difficulties and challenges that have ultimately developed into cherished parts of her life.
She makes discoveries and then shares them to help people have happier, healthier lives that are free from unnecessary suffering.
Huffington uses her Intellection to ask deep questions about life's meaning and the nature of happiness. This talent drives her to constantly seek deeper meaning.
Huffington says that, like herself, Achievers who need to be creative or innovative need to continually refuel themselves. Hard work is necessary for achieving, she says, but hard work without refueling has diminishing returns: The more you put in, the less you get out.
