No fear, no self-doubt: Act "as if." Self-confidence and self-assurance are what it's all about. Do whatever you need to develop these qualities.
Awareness: Be aware of what's going on within you and around you in nature, in the world, and in the lives of others.
Authenticity: Drop the mask. Speak the truth. You are no one if you are not yourself.
Industry: Get things done. Work hard at it! Throw yourself 100 percent into whatever you're doing. And stick to it! Talent grows with practice. Be disciplined in doing what you've chosen to do.
Excitement: Make all of life an adventure. If things are dull, make something happen.
Connection: Love the one you're with. Tremendously. Passionately. Truly. Madly. Deeply. It feels good to love. But if that's too much, then make a connection. Collect somebody.
Mastery: Pay your dues. Master a few things. Your choice, but do get good at them.
Habits: Have good habits. Then you won't always have to remind yourself. You'll do those boring little things automatically -- use sunscreen; eat salads and veggies; get enough sleep; exercise; drink water; save 10 percent; don't smoke -- those little things that over the long haul keep you healthy and happy.
Contribute: Be a contributor to the group. Be a worthwhile and worthy group member. Have something to say, a game to play, an idea to keep things moving.
Challenge: Always take the challenge to do something difficult. Stretch yourself. "We choose to do these things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
Insight, Learning and Discovery: Think. And learn. And make discoveries. And be curious about the world around you.
Joie de Vivre: Make life joyful. Let the simple things thrill you.
Forgiveness: Adversity is a gift.
