Peak performers develop powerful mental images of the behavior that will lead to the desired results. They see in their mind's eye the result they want, and the actions leading to it.

Self-mastery calls for thorough familiarity with one's mental and emotional strengths. And it calls for sustaining a commitment to personal growth - the understanding of what makes you tick as an individual - as well as personal development.

On course doesn't mean perfect. On course means that even when things don't go perfectly - you are still going in the right direction.

Values provide perspective in the best of times and the worst.
