- All people experience the world from the Inside-Out (we create our experiences via our moment-to-moment thinking).
- Ignoring this truth does not diminish its power.
- Easy to understand intellectually but not so much experientially.
- All humans have innate psychological well being.
- You don’t have to attain anything to be mentally healthy.
- Every person has gold within.
- This is the difference between the disease model (what is wrong with you) versus the well-being model (what is right/good about you).
- Regardless of the outcome, you will be okay.
- The sun always rises.
- When in doubt, see #12
- All people are doing their best given their level of understanding.
- Compassion and grace abound from this level of awareness.
- Love is a natural byproduct of a clear head.
- Love requires no thought, ego or intellect.
- Love and judgment cannot simultaneously co-exist.
- Our mind-set will always rise and fall despite our best efforts of control and manipulation.
- There is no need to freak out or do anything when in a low or aggravated state of mind.
- When left alone your mind will self-correct back to its natural state: clarity.
- Fresh and new thinking will always arrive.

- When you understand the source of all insecure feelings originate within, you are looking in the right direction.
- You exert personal power from this grounding.
- You are not a victim to circumstance.
- Looking elsewhere increases clutter and reduces your state of mind.

- I wish I understand this truth decades ago :).
- There is no need to engage or to take every thought seriously.
- You exercise your free will when you choose to ignore any thinking which creates ill feelings.
- Thoughts hold no inherent power or influence.
- You do not experience your circumstances. You experience your thinking.
- Remember, you don’t always have the same feeling/reaction to the identical circumstance.
- As your thinking fluctuates so does your experience.
- Proceed.
- Regardless of any insecure or agitated feeling.
- Remember #3, #6, #7, #8, #9 :).
From a clear head everything above makes sense. When cluttered, all bets are off.
Thanks for reading.
