If you’re going into the GAP dozens or hundreds of times per day, the psychological and physical impact of that are very real. Being in the GAP has a tangible physical effect—it is heavy, anxious, stressed, unhappy. The GAIN also has a tangible physical effect—it is light, energizing, freeing, and confidence building. The GAIN is the most powerful and energizing context for viewing any experience. Without question, the reason the “happy” nuns lived 10 years longer than “unhappy” nuns isn’t because they had fundamentally different lifestyles. Rather, the happy nuns simply perceived or coded the experiences they were having as “positive,” whereas the unhappy nuns coded the same experiences as negative or neutral. The difference between viewing an experience as positive or negative is tantamount to viewing a milkshake as 620 calories or 120 calories. When you’re in the GAIN, you perceive everything in your life—even the challenging experiences—as a GAIN. You could be going through a challenging and even stressful experience, but your body can positively handle that experience because you’re framing it as a GAIN.

And when underdoing occurs in a relationship that matters, the hurt caused by a wimpy apology is obviously deeper and more lasting. “I’m sorry” may also feel empty and halfhearted if there’s no attempt to make restitution.
Why Won't You Apologize?

Vision is a together kind of thing. If your dream doesn’t require a team, chances are good you’re dreaming too small. That’s why a practical vision is good for more than planning. It’s also good for people, not only in hiring them but also in keeping them aboard once you’ve got them. Author Laurie Beth Jones considers vision an important recruiting tool.19 That’s true in two ways. First, a compelling vision sells the company to prospective employees. Second, it helps you filter applicants. It sets the bar and clarifies the kind of employee who best fits on your team. Selling the company.
