what an interesting thread. It's a great personal development exercise because
-it make us think about what is important for us
-it will allow us to compare with Steve when the book is released and thus have great insights;

Here is what I think are important principles that we can find at the root of many people's problems :
-Identity : Who are you? What do you identify with? Do you believe in oneness or duality? The sense of identity we have can be either very empowering or disemporewing.
-Acceptance : Do you accept and surrender to what IS or do you resist the present moment in some way?
-Clarity : Do you know what you want or are you not sure? Do you know your values?
Being clear about what we want allow us to direct our energy efficiently.
-Congruence : Do you have any internal contradictions? any contradicting beliefs? Are you very polarized? do you live according to your values or is there a gap between what you think and what you do?
The more congruent you are, the bigger your flow of energy.
-Connection : Can you share, vibe and have the relationships you want?
Are you connected to your true sense of Self?
Can you learn technical knowledge from other people/sources?
Do you feel a connection between you and the rest of the world?
-Freedom : Do you own all your personnal power/energy or do you give away some of it?
Do you express yourself fully or do you care about what people think?
Do you make your choices freely or there is external pressure?
Do you take 100 % responsibility or do you blame others for your life situation?
