1.Values. Do you think that Donald Trump and the Dalai Lama have the same values? Of course not. The results they’ve achieved in life are very different, largely because of their beliefs. They spend their time in different ways because of their beliefs. Their beliefs are likely the opposite of each other.- If you change your values, you can change your life. The values needed to be a successful corporate raider are very different from those needed to be a successful preschool teacher. Do your values match your objectives? If they don’t, you will struggle.
- Money is the root of all evil versus money creates freedom

- Qualities. You have the power to change yourself. If you become more confident or develop your communication skills, you’ll change your world. You can learn to be more bold, determined, or happy. You can learn to program a computer or to speak Russian.
- Your personal qualities, skills, and attributes give you more capability to change your life.
