2. 1. CHANGE YOURSELF.
 “You must be the change you want to see in
the world.”
 If you change how you think, then you will
change how you feel and the actions you
take.And so the world around you will
change. Change starts not with others, but
with you!

3. 2. YOU ARE IN CONTROL.
 “Nobody can hurt you without your
permission.”
 What you feel and how you react to
something is always up to you.You can
choose your own thoughts, reactions and
feelings. Most negative emotions signal
you have given your power away to others.

4. 3. FORGIVE AND LET IT GO
 “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is
the attribute of the strong.”
 Forgiving and letting go of the past will do
you and the people in your world a great
service. And spending your time in some
negative memory won’t help you. It’s time
to let go and move on, starting anew.

5. 4. WITHOUT ACTION YOU AREN’T
GOING ANYWHERE.
 “An ounce of practice is worth more than
tons of preaching.”
 To really get where you want to go you
need to move. Knowledge has only
potential power; it becomes true power
when you translate it into practice and
results.

6. 5. TAKE CARE OF THIS MOMENT.
 “It is only the present that has power.The past
is dead and the future is unborn.”
 The best way to overcome the inner
resistance that often stops us from taking
action is to stay in the present as much as
possible and to accept circumstances we
cannot change.

7. 6. EVERYONE IS HUMAN.
 “ It is healthy to be reminded that the
strongest might weaken and the wisest might
err.”
 When you start to make myths out of people,
you run the risk of becoming disconnected
from them. It’s important to keep in mind
that everyone is just a human being no
matter who they are. And you too!

8. 7. PERSIST.
 “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you, then you win.”
 Be persistent. In time the opposition
around you will fade and fall away.And
your inner resistance and self-sabotaging
tendencies that want to hold you back will
grow weaker.

9. 8. SEE THE GOOD IN PEOPLE AND
HELP THEM.
 “I suppose leadership at one time meant
muscles; but today it means getting along with
people.”
 When you see the good in people it becomes
easier to motivate yourself to be of service to
them. By being of service to other people, by
giving them value you not only make their lives
better - over time you tend to get what you
give.

10. 9. BE CONGRUENT, BE AUTHENTIC, BE
YOUR TRUE SELF.
 “Happiness is when what you feel, think,
say, and do are in harmony.”
 You are one in seven billion; that’s how
unique you are. Be your own guru; be original;
let not others influence you negatively.You
are, because you are!

11. 10. CONTINUE TO GROW AND EVOLVE.
 “An educated man can experience more in a day
than an uneducated man in a lifetime.” Seneca

Analyse the is, Pin down causes, Select solutions.
 2) Identify and prioritize needs
 3) Create a development plan
 4) Reflect on learning and modifying plan as needed
