Key Takeaways:


Your subconscious beliefs—not conscious goals—shape 95% of your outcomes.


The “sword” symbolizes tools like clarity, congruence, and commitment.

Values are a hierarchy, and they govern your decisions more than intentions do.


To level up, you must reset your internal “thermostat” for success.
