Moving from Success to Peace• PERMIT yourself to acknowledge that some of our old beliefs
about who we are (and others) might not be true;
• EXPLORE the possibility that there is something about ourselves (and others) that we don’t fully understand, of which could change everything;
• ANNOUNCE that we are willing for new understandings of ourselves (and others) that could produce new possibilities;
• COURAGEOUSLY examine these new understandings and allow these new truths and knowledge to enlarge our lives;
• EXPRESS our lives as a demonstration of our deepest, highest self, rather than denying them.
