fuel that powers their success train and causes them to tap their true potential. Causes

people to stay late and leave early; passion what people want in relationships; passion gives

life power, juice and meaning; passion to be the best.

2 Belief

Huge power and effect of faith and belief on mankind. Our belief in what we are and what we

can be will determine what we will be. If we believe in magic, we will live a magical life. If we

believe our life is defined by limits, they will be defined by limits. What we believe is true and

possible will become what is true and possible.

People who succeed know what they want and believe that they can get it.

Passion and belief provides the fuel and propulsion towards excellence!

7 Mastery of Communication

The way we communicate with others and ourselves will determine the quality of our lives. (eg

doing the washing – incidental activity as opposed to a bind).

People who shape our lives have an ability to communicate a vision, quest, joy or mission in a

way that creates a passion in you to share that vision. It is what makes a great parent, artist,

politician or teacher.
