Personal Development – Lesson One

Quality of life begins and ends with the quality of our thoughts

Before we get started, allow me to save you some time and potential frustration. If you are not ready to make a serious commitment to improve the quality of your life, Stop Here! Set this course aside until you’ve reached a level of desire or frustration in your life where you are absolutely done with dysfunctional behavior from yourself and others. Then, and only then, you’ve reached that point where you can easily say to yourself and others, “I will not accept nor tolerate this dysfunctional behavior and poor quality of life anymore”.

Once you’ve made a firm commitment in your mind start this course and become the very best version of you possible. Now, you’re ready to take action and responsibility. Now you can expect to experience remarkable personal growth and development.

Below are some assertive and self-confirming statements that may assist you throughout this course.

I will improve the quality of my life and relationships because I am more than capable of doing so.

I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself.

I refuse to accept anything less than respect from myself and others. I don’t have to.

I cannot live the life of others nor can anyone else live my life. At the end of each day, I am personally accountable and responsible for my thoughts, emotions, words, and actions.

I will not be the victim or the bully.

I will agree to love and respect myself while becoming my own best friend. In this way, I can learn what it’s like to be a loving respectful friend to others.

I will agree to create and maintain the best possible relationships with myself, others, and nature. This will allow me to enjoy improving the quality of my life with more consistent peace of mind. This will also help me create and share more meaningful experiences and memories with those I care about.

I will agree to become more self and spatially aware. As I develop, I will more easily recognize when dysfunctional subconscious behaviors from myself and others are attempting to negatively influence me. Then I can remove the behavior and its impact in my life and that of others.

Finally, I will agree not to accept or participate in any thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or activities with myself or others that are in conflict with the new best version of me!

Practice, practice, practice, is the primary key to achieving desired outcomes.

The quote attributed to Benjamin Brewster in 1881 and others states, “In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice there is”.  

 

 

Quality of life begins and ends with the quality of our thoughts

 

This first lesson is going to familiarize you with one of the two main exercises and techniques used throughout this 60-day course. The first two lessons are a bit longer in explanation than the rest. It’s important to understand some mechanics of the human condition you will be learning to utilize.

There are years worth of reading material in the fields of Neuroscience, Psychology, Epigenetics, and other disciplines available on the internet and your local library which support and enhance the contents of this course.

It has been discovered that the majority of people who have taken this course want to get directly to the essential information, exercises, techniques, and tools. To achieve this goal ordinary language and fewer medical and scientific terms will be used to make it simpler to understand and apply in your life. Please feel free to research the contents of this course when you have time.

The exercises and educational material provided here are designed to help the student understand important automated brain and body functions and their mechanics. You will discover how and why your subconscious responds to changes in your physical and social environments. You will also learn how to identify and control undesirable automated subconscious responses. This will enable you to better manage challenging life experiences in a manner that assists in reducing negative influence while creating beneficial and valuable outcomes for you and others.

The elements in this course will also serve to enhance your critical thinking skills as you learn to question the information received from your subconscious and others within your environment. Additionally, it will provide new tools for you to move past the mental and emotional struggles associated with asking intimidating and sensitive questions or demanding facts and evidence from those who make allegations and presumptions often by spreading gossip, rumors, and hearsay.

This course does not require belief, faith, hope, wishing or praying in order for the learner to achieve meaningful results. The exercises and techniques are designed to be as mechanical as possible. The same elements used to acquire and learn repeated exercises in improving physical health or mental skills apply here.

Example: One wants to become more physically fit. That person researches physical fitness on the internet, in a library, or goes to a gym and speaks with an instructor. The instructor would ask you what you wish to achieve. Once the list of desired outcomes is expressed the instructor provides a weekly schedule of specific exercises and repetitions for each day. The goal of the schedule is to provide an explanation of the equipment, exercises, and repetition required to develop muscle mass and core strength.

Important to note: Following the instructions during the first two weeks, one will experience subtle to dominant thoughts and emotions coming from the subconscious that are energizing and supportive or attempt to limit and sabotage your effort.

How many times have you or people you know either thought about going on a diet or starting a diet only to stop a day or a week into it? Thinking back we’ll discover many of these negative thoughts, emotions, and self-defeating mood changes are automated subconscious memory responses from our past. When these are triggered and expressed their influence can control and manipulate the mind through biochemistry and sabotage the self-improvement effort.

The reason for this is partially based on a primary function of the subconscious that is designed to help you create a stable non-threatening environment that helps ensure your survival into the future. This stable environment is also known as a comfort zone? One of the most challenging things experience by everyone is stepping outside of our comfort zones. A comfort zone is a collection of recorded automated memory behaviors that create a sense of relative physical, mental, and emotional safety that most are willing to live with versus the unknown.

This doesn’t mean that all our environments are safe. It simply reinforces the concept that humans create self-affirming mental and highly emotional justifications for remaining in dysfunctional and sometimes dangerous relationships and environments. With hindsight, we can observe this being true in our own lives because the unknown appears to be more intimidating and frightening than the known. This is the main factor why people stay in submissive, abusive, and disrespectful relationships. This is also a reason why people participate in dysfunctional, disrespectful, and dangerous activities with others. This includes political, religious, and social organizations that seek to control, influence and manipulate others who do not support their ideologies.

 

Quality of life begins and ends with the quality of our thoughts

For the next 60 days, some of the exercises and techniques require you to practice and perform them several times a day in quiet undisturbed places. Other exercises and field studies within the course require a week or two. These will be applicable and shared with the main exercises to enhance one’s self-awareness, spatial-awareness, and critical thinking.

Part of the objective is to have the student engage in observational studies that accelerate the personal ability to focus upon tasks that enhance the development of a more meaningful self-image. At the same time, this elevates consciousness to new understandings, perceptions, and possibilities. The truth is one can only address, correct and fix those things which he or she is aware of and can properly define. Corresponding tools are provided to help complete the tasks to achieve the outcomes of each lesson.

For purposes of this course, the term ‘subconscious’ is defined as a combination of all cells, organs, sensors, and genetic programming that automates and maintains the body’s physiology and enables the conscious mind to function. Specifically, those elements which manage the autonomic systems and record memories as stored automated behaviors for future use. As well, it manages and monitors our thought streams to anticipate needs, wants, desires, purpose, and intent. These automated management systems are designed to prepare our physiology for immediate responses to perceived changes in environmental conditions.

As one’s awareness expands and enhances it will allow you to see physical and social environmental conditions more accurately. This will help you adjust your perceptions of reality to more accurately and consistently stay in alignment with your new developing self-image and better achieve your expected goals and desired outcomes. This will also empower you to better manage challenges and issues more effectively by having reasonable and meaningful options to choose from while remaining calm, centered, and focused.

Over time with consistent daily effort doing the exercises and using the techniques along with a respectful but a matter of fact attitude, “I will not accept anything less than the outcomes I expect”, the student will continue to develop a new best version of themselves. More explanation of this mindset and attitude will be covered in the second weekly lesson with the ‘Notebook’ exercise.

The toughest part of this course most people face is being able to be completely honest with themselves. One reason this is a real challenge for many is that their past subconscious programming related to being honest triggers their automated protective fight, flight, freeze response. There are many people who have not experienced what being absolutely honest with themselves feels like. As an unknown with respect to their comfort zones, this honesty challenge immediately triggers what’s known as cognitive dissonance. This includes all the justifications which have been constructed over time to support the comfort zone. https://psychologydictionary.org/cognitive-dissonance-dissonance-theory/ Cognitive dissonance, A state of conflict occurring when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. Dissonance theory holds that the conflict produces feelings of discomfort which the individual seeks to relieve by reconciling the differences, by convincing himself they do not exist, or by adopting some other type of defensive maneuver.

 

Please do not underestimate the developmental capability and power of this simple course.

Instead of this being a six-month course it has been condensed to two. While there are only two main exercises and several secondary exercises, techniques, and field observation studies, they are structured to enhance several areas of development at the same time.

*Please be patient with yourself! Anything meaningful and worthwhile is worth doing to the best of your ability.

If you’ve read this far it means you’re serious about making lasting positive changes in the quality and wellbeing of your life. It also means you’re ready to build the very best version of you possible. The best version of you, that is more than capable of dealing with and managing any challenge you may encounter with a calm, patient, and respectful understanding of yourself and others.

Quality of life begins and ends with the quality of our thoughts

Science suggests the last trimester before birth forward, humans acquire learned behaviors from the people, places, and things in their environment. However, the more profound influences are parents, family members, friends, teachers, bosses, and others who have had or have an emotional impact on one’s life. Information and behavior acquisition from others is called generational subconscious programming. This simply means that people tens of thousands of years ago were dealing with the same social interpersonal relationship issues and struggles faced today. They have been passed down from generation to generation through a variety of observations and experiences.

As many know the child from birth to about age 8 is highly vulnerable to physical and social influences. The old phrase, “be careful what you say and do around the child because they will mimic and model it”, is not only true, but the pattern continues throughout adulthood.

Most subconscious automated behavior responses are not genetic propensities and tendencies. They are acquired and learned behavioral traits passed down from generation to generation. The persistent negative behaviors that have plagued mankind for thousands of generations are known as generational dysfunctional subconscious programming. This is one of the main reasons Humanity has not been able to evolve past pettiness, selfishness, and greed. These, are primary elements of the adversarial social model that humanity has been experiencing and struggling with throughout recorded history.

Mankind, aka, Humanity is one species. It is not a collection of races. The word race was originally created to differentiate sub-species of plants and insects. Truly there are no greater or lesser races of Mankind. These are only distorted and under-developed states of conscious awareness supported by poor generational dysfunctional subconscious programming. This under-developed state ignorantly embraces and supports the adversarial social model and survival of the fittest ideology. For those who are more developed and evolved in consciousness, there is the species of Mankind. These people are generally kind, respectful, compassionate, and charitable.

It can easily be demonstrated that one has the ability to transcend the adversarial social model and survival of the fittest ideology. People already have the ability to express all of the highest human traits at any time. Therefore, individuals have the capacity to elevate their social consciousness permanently above and beyond this social adversarial state of destructive ideologies. This means humanity possesses the ability to raise all people out of the trappings and bindings of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual poverty.

As an opinion, the adversarial social model and survival of the fittest ideologies do not have to apply to humanity. There are billions of daily examples of kindness, love, self and mutual respect, compassion, and charity where this does not exist. Take the human desire to be kind, loving, respectful, compassionate, and charitable. If people are capable of expressing these high human traits then they can extend them to others anytime they choose. If humans were genetically programmed to be adversarial and practice survival of the fittest which is the case with some species in nature, these high human traits would be the exception instead of the Rule used for peaceful social behavior and interaction.

Exercises and Techniques

On the 60 Day members page of the website, there is one survey and two worksheets.

The General Life Experience survey is designed to help you take a snapshot view of where you are now. This is a starting point to help track progress over the next 60 days. The questions in this survey are based on industry standards established to discover and assess one’s current state of mental, emotional, and physical health.

The Self-Image worksheet is complimentary to the Self-Image Development exercise in this lesson, while the Life Evaluation worksheet is complimentary to the Notebook exercise in lesson 2. These are presented in a way that will help you track progress over time.

As you progress you will experience subtle to dramatic improvements in your perceptions of reality. As well, you will experience changes in the way you interact and respond to yourself, others, and environmental conditions that would normally trigger a negative or dysfunctional automated response. Over the next 15 to 45 days you will notice your self-image, self-respect, self-worth, and confidence improve. Also, there will be noticeable changes in abilities to more effectively deal with and manage self-limiting, sabotaging, and debilitating automated behaviors.

It’s important to note that the subconscious is not programmed to lie or deceive. It simply expresses the recorded memory responses that contain lies and deception. What the subconscious does is respond to the streams of our thoughts and recall the information relevant to the direction of our focus. It pulls the most relevant information triggered by our attention from our memory database. Then it sends part or all of the elements triggered to our conscious mind for us to review, assess, modify and express. However, in most situations, it will involuntarily express thoughts, words, and behaviors on your behalf relative to your current thoughts, levels of emotions, anxiety, and anticipated future needs. So as your development continues, when you redo the worksheets and survey some answers will change over time.

Around 30 and 60 days redo the survey and worksheets. Please do not look at the previous versions and copy the answers. In order to more accurately assess progress and improvements, it is important to keep all answers original.

You are encouraged to continue this course as long as you like. As with past students and clients, you will discover the longer you practice the elements of this course the more your life will improve and the more capable you will become. Over time you will also see more meaningful opportunities and options become available. Much like, someone who works out daily to be physically fit may become aware of new interests and opportunities because they are more capable.

Quality of life begins and ends with the quality of our thoughts

The Life Evaluation Worksheet is designed for you to acknowledge known dysfunctional subconscious behaviors and their potential sources.

One thing I want to make very clear. Your parents, grandparents and anyone else in your life who passed on dysfunctional behaviors that you have adopted and use as automated responses are not to blame. Chances are they got them from others, so forth and so on back through time tens of thousands of years or longer. They were also not aware they were passing them on to you.

So please do not blame, criticize and pass unreasonable judgment against them. They simply could not help themselves, or by nature,1 they would have done something else. This is demonstrated through numerous infant and child studies which show that the natural disposition of infants and children is to seek safety, trust, and comfort. After that, it’s nourishment and positive nurturing attention. When a child comes into this human experience it knows almost nothing other than those subconscious programs that were created while it was still in the womb.

This means that the infant has a minimal level of consciousness and conscience. These are developed over time as it observes and experiences the world around it. Based on the information it receives through its developing senses, observation and first-hand experiences within range of its senses, will greatly determine what will be recorded as automated memory behaviors for future use. As well, these new subconscious memory behaviors are determined by the level of emotions (chemicals and electrical activity) which causes it’s subconscious to create a new automated memory behavior for future use.

By the time a child is 8 years old, it can easily have a million or more automated memory behaviors stored for future use. These help the child navigate ever-changing physical and social environments and interact with basic to intermediate social skills.

As we can all easily agree and identify with when the right set of physical and or social conditions occur we can involuntarily express any number of automated behaviors from our childhood. Even into the later years of our life.

The Self-Image Worksheet will start you on the path of creating the very best version of you possible. This worksheet asks you to select nine high human traits from the pull-down lists that you value the most that are either an active part of your life or you desire to incorporate into your life.

This is the basis and starting point for the Self-Image Exercise. It will help you begin putting into perspective the changes in yourself and your life you desire the most. It will also help you form a list of changes to track over time.

Please take the time now to complete them before you continue with the course.

You are encouraged to fill out the survey and worksheets again at 30 and 60 days into the course so you can compare the results to chart progress over time.

Self-Image Development Exercise

This exercise is specifically designed to help you create a better self-image which will increase your self-respect, self-worth, self-esteem and so much more in equal proportions in the shortest period of time. This will eventually create new opportunities in your life. This will also help you improve the quality of the relationships you have with yourself and others.

You see we all visualize elements or quick segments of our life before they happen. “What am I going to wear for school or work tomorrow?” Automatically, the most likely choices from your clothing begin appearing in your mind as you make mental selections.

Then whether you walk to school, take the bus, or drive to work, “what route will I take? Will I have to hurry because I’ll be running late as usual, or will I have time to stop and talk to a friend or get coffee.”

Every day we go through similar routines of mostly automated thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Throughout our day we often think about things from our past. At times this leads to what I term mental and emotional information loops. This is where you think about someone you argued with recently. As soon as you start going over the short mental video of the experience you begin feeling similar negative emotions and then you’re hooked. You get near the end of the video and due to the emotions engaged, you get stuck running the video, again and again, getting more upset each time it plays. Then a classmate, teacher, co-worker, or boss interrupts that circular thought stream and notices or comments that it appears something is bothering you. Where you more than likely respond, “I’m OK. Nothings bothering me”.

Still, visualizations are the main element we spend time focusing our attention on. What this exercise wants you to focus on our future events and behaviors. The truth is you’re going to focus your attention on something. You might as well spend a little of your time seeing new future possibilities. As well as new behaviors and outcomes in life and relationships.

How about spending time thinking about new ways to improve your ability to learn new skills quickly or better ways to manage stress. Perhaps a new meaningful job or occupation with great co-workers and good pay. A place you look forward to going every day where you are respected and appreciated as a valued member of the team. Maybe even a loving respectful relationship. Or developing the courage and strength to leave a bad relationship and improve the quality of your life when you realize they are trapped by their subconscious automated behaviors and cannot help themselves.

On this note, I would like to add that no one, absolutely no one has the right to treat you with disrespect and force you into a submissive miserable relationship. No more than you have the right to do the same to them. All of these concepts are easily imaginable under the right conditions.

Quality of life begins and ends with the quality of our thoughts

Here is a shortlist of my personal standards, thoughts, and behaviors.

-Be kind, respectful, compassionate, and charitable when able.

-Question the purpose and intent of everyone and everything.

-Demand facts and evidence for all accusations, assumptions, claims, and presumptions. Those who allege have the burden of proof.

-If your efforts are honest and sincere, the inner strength required to demand the truth, facts, and evidence to verify and validate a claim or presumption will generally be appreciated and respected.

-Trusting gossip and hearsay is an open admission of willful ignorance.

-If it does not enhance the quality of life, add to peace of mind, or serve a meaningful purpose, why is it in my life?

-Life is more than enough of a challenge. I do not have the right to make the lives of others more difficult just because I can.

-What am I doing today, tomorrow and the rest of my life to improve the quality of life for others?

Self-Image Development Exercise breakdown

The Self-Image exercise requires you to set three to five timers each day.

Choose times during the day that fit into your schedule when you will be least interrupted.

When the timer goes off, find a quiet place you can spend 3 to 5 minutes undisturbed.

Pause for a minute and take a few deep breaths to relax.

Either close your eyes or keep them open when you start to visualize. Some people visualize better with their eyes open and start seeing everything around them blur into a whitish background.

In either case when you feel relaxed and ready to start, see in your mind a picture of you in the future about 2 years from now. In this picture see your future self as the very best version of you possible.

Whatever that means to you.

The reason for the 2 year time period is to create future expectations that begin applying a small number of beneficial emotions and stress. This beneficial stress activates your body’s pharmacy to manufacture important chemicals to create the emotions needed to support your efforts and help the subconscious engage in neuroplasticity. This is the brain’s ability to rewire itself. It also allows us to update and improve older undesirable automated memory behaviors and create new ones.

As you begin seeing the best version of you see yourself healthier, happier, more prosperous.

Spend time focusing on adding details to your image. Details that make you happy, feel proud, respected, confident and inspired. See details like where you are standing or sitting. Maybe you’re in a new home, a new job, driving a new car, or out to dinner with someone special. Perhaps on vacation or a retreat where you are relaxing or maybe donating time to help those less fortunate.

If you are struggling to imagine this in your mind, there are many creative ways to overcome difficulties in mentally visualizing a better version of you.

For some, it helps to sit down and write out a narration of what they want to see as the best version of themselves in two years. Writing down all the details they want in the image. Then they use their cell phone or other recording devices to narrate their image using their voice or someone else. This helps them playback the narration to help start the visualization process. After a while, they stop using the recording and mentally visualize their best version with ease.

Some who struggle, use humor to relax and distress. They mentally imagine goofy behaviors they find funny. Some will use pictures of beautiful places or loved ones. Some use songs or short video clips that help them relax, feel inspired, or start a detailed mental image.

Others print out a copy of the self-image worksheet they filled out online from their email. The worksheet asks you to select nine of the top high human traits from the list and place them in order of importance. Let’s say you chose kindness as one of your selections. Go back in time and remember an experience you had where you expressed an act of kindness. Go deeper into this memory and try to feel and relive the emotions that you and others in the experience shared.

How great did that experience make you feel? How did the people or person receiving your act of kindness respond? Can you feel their expression of appreciation and gratitude that you took the time to care about them? Magnify those incredible emotions by 5 or 10 times and feel them deeper than you have ever felt them before.

Now use that high level of emotion to help you create new visual images or mental videos of you helping more people in the future. Start adding more and more details. Perhaps you are at a restaurant and notice the pattern on the table cloth. Maybe your at a beach or a park and help a parent find their child or a pet. See the color of the sand or grass and trees. What other objects are in the area? What time of day is it? Can you hear the laughter of children and families playing? Are people cooking on barbecues? Can you smell hot dogs, chicken, or steak? Take off your shoes and socks and feel the sand or grass under your feet and between your toes.

Now that you are more relaxed and feeling good about yourself, imagine what a better version of you looks like two years from now. You’re self-confident and happy. Maybe even laughing at how silly your old version was for even entertaining all that subconscious dysfunctional nonsense. You actually like or maybe even love yourself. What are you wearing? Any specific colors and styles of clothing and shoes? If you have hair how is it styled. If you don’t have hair are you wearing a hat?

The point to all this is the more emotionally involved you become in your visualizations the easier it is to revisit this new best version of you the next time the timer goes off. It also begins to help you manifest these new traits and behaviors into your daily life.

Quality of life begins and ends with the quality of our thoughts

Researchers in neuroscience discovered that the EEG responses of brain wave activity in both visualizing and performing an activity were the same. This means that the brain cannot tell the difference between imagination and reality. Therefore, performing activities and behaviors in your mind are just as real to your subconscious as the real thing. In this way, it begins to build the neural pathways and synaptic connections to create the new best version of you just by creating detailed emotionally energized visualizations of new behaviors before you act them out. Much in the same way you may practice something important over and over in your mind before you do it in real life to build a sense of confidence and competence. This is a very real and serious strategy used by people in many fields. Most notably in business, sports, and entertainment. As many of you know there are billion-dollar industries built around this information, strategies, and techniques.

Our imagination is equivalent to universal play-doh and molding clay. Each moment of every day we can stop and take the time to play with and create new ideas and mental images of our future self and future things. The reality is the more we do this the more we take control of our lives and the less our dysfunctional past will control and manipulate our present and future.

This is a primary natural ability and skill set everyone possesses which can easily be enhanced.

Obviously this exercise focuses on mental imaging and enhancing our imagination. This is important because it helps us plan everything that is meaningful and valuable in our lives. This can also help us create road maps with short specific micro-goals that help us achieve our desired outcomes. This activity is supported by our internal pharmacy which creates the required biochemistry like adrenaline, dopamine, and vasopressin based on the thoughts and emotions we focus our attention on and desire to experience. So, when a micro-goal is achieved the reward chemicals are created and injected into our bloodstream so we experience happiness, self-satisfaction, and increases in confidence and self-worth. Over time, just as with any other learned behavior through repetition, the body automatically knows how to produce this on-demand just by thinking about them. In short, the chemistry our body produces to represent each emotion and feeling are genetically programmed. When we can chain or link enough of these chemical responses to worthwhile thoughts, emotions, and behaviors we experience progression in our personal development where we feel motivated to move from micro-goal to micro-goal. This helps us eventually reach our desired outcomes.

The next part of this exercise requires you to choose at least one of the high human traits you selected from the worksheet and add that high emotional energy to your best version image. Whatever that looks like to you. Make it a color or an item. The emphasis here is to keep adding more powerful confident and supportive thoughts and emotions to your best version image.

The last part of this exercise is to put into daily practice at least one of the high human traits from your list into action. Every day select one familiar or new person to either mentally imagine yourself expressing the selected trait with them or actually express this behavior with them in real life. Again, over time you will begin to notice yourself actually performing the behaviors you spend time on mentally developing.

Eventually, you’ll discover you are able to increase the range of your comfort zones by focusing your ability to venture into new areas of your life you previously avoided out of fear. Practicing these new behaviors in your mind allows your comfort, confidence, and competence levels to elevate until you’re able to perform them in real life with relative ease. A quick note on fear. Since we discussed earlier that all emotions are genetically programmed this means in order for us to know what an emotion feels like, there are one or more past experiences that give us applicable context. Once the chemical combination for each type of emotion is experienced for the first time we will always know what they feel like.

Final thoughts on this exercise.

It is important to realize that what we focus our attention on influences and impacts our day in subtle to dramatic ways. Learning to control the focus of our attention leads to control of what we choose to think. This in turn influences which chemicals our bodies produce to support the emotions we feel. This as well affects and influences our physical behaviors. When we can more easily control our thoughts which are continuously monitored by our subconscious, we can begin controlling our automated emotional reactions, our automated behaviors, and eventually, improve the overall quality of life.

There is no doubt that every consciously aware human being is capable of learning the tools within this course. We have the ability to limit and eliminate the negative impact of generational subconscious programming. With that, we also have the tools to design more effective automated responses and mental and emotional filters to deal with and manage just about anything we may encounter along our journey.

Over time, you will be creating new automated supportive behaviors that will better assist you in not only becoming the best version of you but helping you make better decisions that will have more meaningful outcomes tomorrow and in the future.

Please be patient with yourself and stay consistent while learning the exercises and techniques. Anything worthwhile that adds meaningful value to your life and that of others is worth the time it takes to develop it.

I sincerely hope you take this course seriously and give it your best effort. The rewards are far beyond what you can currently imagine.

Life is truly short. Relationships are the most valuable and worthwhile endeavors we can ever hope to be a part of. Making substantial improvements in your life presents the opportunity to positively affect the lives of others.

Lastly, I can easily assure you that you will not be the same person in 60 days.

Thank you in advance for doing something meaningful for yourself. Everyone you will ever interact with will either openly, quietly, or subconsciously thank you in some way.
