The three decisions that control your destiny are:<ol><li>What to focus on?</li><li>What things mean to you?</li><li>What to do to create the results you desire?</li></ol>• 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.

Short Summary

1. Your core beliefs and unconscious rules2. Your life values3. Your references4. The habitual questions that you ask yourself5. The emotional states you experience in each moment

Master System:

<ol><li>First, we must believe, “Something must change”.</li><li>Second, we must believe, “I must change it”.</li><li>Third, we have to believe, “I can change it”.</li></ol>

Specific Beliefs 

<ul><li>Raise your standards and believe you can meet them.</li><li>Develop a sense of certainty that we can and will meet the new standards before we actually do.</li><li>In life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know.</li><li>In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. </li><li>It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.</li></ul>

Change

<ol><li>What to focus on?</li><li>What things mean to you?</li><li>What to do to create the results you desire?</li></ol>

The Three Decisions That Control Your Destiny Are:

<ul><li>Success is the result of good judgment. </li><li>Good judgment is the result of experience.</li><li>Experience is often the result of bad judgment.</li><li> In order to succeed, you must have a longterm focus.</li><li>Often, what seems impossible in the short term becomes very possible in the long term if you persist.</li><li>Realize that the hardest step in achieving anything is making a true commitment-a true decision.</li></ul>

Long Term

<ul><li>Make decisions often and learn from them.</li><li>When experiencing a problem, ask yourself, “What’s good about this? What can I learn from this?”</li><li>Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.</li><li>Know that it’s your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.</li><li> For most people, the fear of loss is much greater than the desire for gain.</li></ul>

Decisions

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

Sense Of Certainty

1. Decide what you want2. Take action3. Notice what’s working or not4. Change your approach until you achieve what you want

The Ultimate Success Formula

<ul><li>Everything you and I do, we do either out of our need to avoid pain or our desire to gain pleasure.</li><li> It’s not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.</li><li>Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.</li></ul>

Beliefs

<ul><li> It’s not actual pain that drives us, but our fear that something will lead to pain. </li><li>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.</li><li>We’re not driven by the reality, but by our perception of reality.</li><li> Break through some short-term pain in order to gain long-term pleasure.</li></ul>
