Highway 1—Get the Picture
The Greatest discovery of my generation is that by changing the attitudes of our
minds, we can change the outer aspects of our lives.
-William James
The Tide of Change
• Thought-An idea or opinion produced by thinking or occurring suddenly in the mind
• Belief-Something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction
• When you change what you think about and what you believe…your life changes.

Power Pyramid • When you are powerless you are feeling as a “5”• Can you imagine running a car that is only 5%
efficient?• When you are a 95, 95% of your thought feel
good….when you are at a 5, 5% of your thoughts feel good.
