Common To All Humans
1. We are propelled by the emotions we create by
how we think.
2. Our potential is not determined by the life
circumstances we cannot control, but by our
thoughts, which we can control.
3. We allow thoughts to happen automatically, or
think negatively then blame others for how we
caused ourselves to feel blue or fail.
4. We have the option to prevent this by improving
how we think – our mindset.
Thoughts create
emotions that
