<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

<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>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> 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>

Long Term Pleasure

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

<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>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>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

<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>
