Why should you “be it”?

• To tap into its full benefits, consider that most of our choices fall into three categories.

• We can:– Increase our material wealth (what we

have).*

– Improve our skills (what we do).*

– Develop our “being” (who we are).*

*All of the techniques in this book are enhanced by this Power Process.

What does it mean to look beyond “doing” and “having?”

• In addition to focusing on what we have and what we do, we can also focus on our being.

• Picture the result before you begin: the example of the dancer illustrates that once you have a clear picture of what you want to be, the things you do and have fall more naturally into place.
