Short Summary

Short Summary

The three decisions that control your destiny are:

  1. What to focus on?
  2. What things mean to you?
  3. What to do to create the results you desire?

• By changing any one of these five elements ( a core belief or rule, a value, a reference, a question, or an emotional state ) you can immediately produce a powerful and measurable change in your life.

Long Term Pleasure

Long Term Pleasure

  • And it’s not actual pleasure that drives us, but our belief—our sense of certainty—that somehow taking a certain action will lead to pleasure.
  • We’re not driven by the reality, but by our perception of reality.
  • Break through some short-term pain in order to gain long-term pleasure.

Sense Of Certainty

Sense Of Certainty

  • If you develop the absolute sense of certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then you can get yourself to accomplish virtually anything.
  • The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief.
  • New experiences trigger change only if they cause us to question our beliefs.
  • Remember, whenever we believe something, we no longer question it in any way.
