1: Survival
Life is about dealing with my needs and feeling good by getting what I need.
2: Dependency
Life is about pleasing others (or the gods) so that they give us what we need.
3: Winning
Life is about getting what I want by taking or creating advantages for myself.
4: Belonging
Life is about knowing what's right and what's wrong and making sure others do the right thing, too.
5: Systems
Life is about knowing how to make good things happen, keeping the benefits, and always improving.
6: Letting Go
Life is about being free to be whoever we are. If we stopped telling others what to do, we would have world peace.
7: Boundaries
Life is about drawing boundaries, saying no is for the best. Who I am and what I want changes often.
8: Curiosity
Life is an experiment. All we can do is the best that we know, so we should all know more.
9: Empathy
Life is about learning where and how to shine the light. I am not the main character, I am just the spotlight. What is revealed is what I illuminate.
