4 " We have an internal check and balance system. By design we are so filled with possibility, opportunity, with greatness that when we live small, within the bottom of our capability, we innately know we should be living greater than that, and it creates a disconnect inside that leads us to feeling empty, unhappy, maybe even depressed.

6 " Smiling Bloopers• Insincere smiling can backfire! (Different from a shy smile that just beckons a friendly " hello." )• Transitioning from a smile to a straight face, too quickly, may give others the impression that you are fake or do not like them.• Going overboard and smiling all the time, especially when it is inappropriate, will make you appear insincere.• If your mouth smiles, but your eyes don’t, there is a disconnect that can make you appear less authentic and trustworthy. "

8 " With physical prep work, you know if you go to the gym, you will get size. There's no chance it won't happen. The emotional prep work is a variable.
