without brace, and a heart that is open.
3. REFLEX TO RELAX
– Everything comes from and returns to relaxation
4. NURTURE CURIOSITY
– Every time you nurture curiosity, you open wider the door to all your possibilities
5. TIME & TIMING
– The only time to act is NOW, but there are lots of nows to choose from
6. SEEK COMMUNICATION (but be able to control)
