The document discusses how to create transformational change through a 5 step sequential process of thinking, beliefs, expectations, attitude, and performance. It states that true change begins with identifying where one wants to change and how to change. The 5 steps are explained as: 1) changing one's thinking by changing the words and thoughts that give life to thinking patterns, 2) allowing new beliefs to form from changed thinking, 3) having new expectations based on changed beliefs, 4) exhibiting a changed attitude as the outward evidence of changed thinking, and 5) achieving changed performance derived from changed thoughts. The assignment is to identify a past failed change attempt and the thinking preventing it, then write new words reflecting a transformational thought pattern to meditate
