CORE ATTRIBUTES

Here are Dean Graziosi's Core Attributes of "Totally Fulfilled" people from his book by the same name:

#1. Totally Fulfilled people are positive, optimistic people who create their own reality and don't let their past, other people's negative views of them, or life's challenges defeat them. They surround themselves with other positive people and condition themselves for success.

• Reality is really what you perceive it to be.
• No one can have power over you unless you let them.
• Chances are, others conditioned you for mediocrity.
• Your path to success is only blocked by the Limiting Beliefs you and others have placed there.
• Your Limitless Beliefs allow you to access all the power of your "Core" to overcome those Limiting Road Blocks.
• To become Totally Fulfilled, transform your Limiting Beliefs into Limitless Beliefs.
• You are what you believe. You can do what you believe.

#2. Totally fulfilled people are open minded and willing to consider that there are always multiple solutions to any problem.

• Totally Fulfilled people are open minded and welcome challenges to accepted ways of thinking and doing.
• When you open your mind, the universe responds with other solutions to your problems.
• Limiting Beliefs prevent most people from being open-minded.
• Practice doesn't make perfect, it makes Permanent.
• Money is not the root of all evil - know your reasons for wanting to attract it into your life.
• The past doesn't determine the future.
• Being Totally Fulfilled is a journey, not a destination.

#3. Totally Fulfilled people are passionate and committted. Like my great grandfather and grandmother, they have passionate dreams of a better life for themselves and others. They are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that others are cared for. They don't view this as a sacrifice but an honor.

• Your beliefs won't change on their own.
• You must take control of your beliefs.
• Generously give yourself the gift of limitless beliefs.

• You choose how to respond to other people and the attitude you will have.
• Gratitude can transform your outlook and your life.

• By transforming Limiting Beliefs to Limitless Beliefs, you tap your potential to achieve anything you desire.
