In this article I would like to introduce you to a powerful training method used by the worlds greatest athletes.

It is called “Mental Rehearsal”

When used with goal setting mental rehearsal will produce amazing results.

In this method you use the incredible power of your imagination to visualize your goals as already achieved.

Here is how you use mental rehearsal (visualization).

Sit or lay down in a quiet spot and get your body into a deep state of relaxation. Try to clear your mind of all thoughts by breathing deeply and repeating a simple phrase like “thank you” over and over again.

Then, with a feeling of total belief visualize yourself dunking.

Visualize yourself in as much detail as you can. See the bleachers in the gym all around you, smell the leather ball, feel the hardwood floor under your feet, hear the ball bouncing on the floor as you approach the basket, feel your legs coil as you begin to explode upward, feel yourself floating towards the rim and dunking the ball into the hoop, feel your arms tighten as you hang on the rim for a second or two before you drop back down to the ground. When you hit the ground feel the pride and satisfaction you will feel after a great dunk.

Visualize yourself dunking as often as you can. Dream of dunking in your spare time. What this does is program your subconscious mind at a deep level. When you get your subconscious mind to believe any goal – it is just a matter of time before it happens.

Here are the 4 things to keep in mind when using mental rehearsal.

(1) Intensity…make sure your image is as emotional as possible. Feel the pride and satisfaction of a

great dunk! Make the emotions as strong and real as possible.

(2) Detail…make your pictures as vivid as possible. The clearer you can see your goal the faster it will

be achieved. Use all your senses.

(3) Duration…hold the image as long as you can. Give your subconscious mind time to absorb and

believe the picture.

(4) Frequency…like I mentioned earlier, visualize your goal as often as you can. Science hasn’t

figured out how this works yet– but there is a direct relationship between the frequency of your

visualizations and the time it takes your subconscious mind to believe it and make it a reality.

There you have it. The most powerful mental technique on the planet. If you practice mental rehearsal on your goals you will be able to dunk faster than you ever thought possible.

See you at the top.

Studies have shown that a strong relationship between medical conditions/problems and mental health exists. It is estimated that up to one-third of individuals with a serious medical condition experience symptoms of depression. Chronic illness can trigger or exacerbate depressive (feelings of helplessness or despair) or anxiety symptoms (concern about the future), not to mention both the mental and physical stress of coping with a prolonged illness. The limitations of the medical condition significantly alter a person’s life, which could create huge and seemingly overwhelming situations. Self image, independence (or lack of), and social interactions are obstacles that are put to limits. Lastly, emotional problems could slow down or prevent full recovery from medical conditions.

The severity of a medical condition typically varies with each person and that person’s subjective ability in addressing the challenges a chronic or prolonged illness can bring up. Medical challenges are not limited to the aging population, as hearing loss, vision impairment, endocrine disorders, gastric issues, surgery, as well as autoimmune diseases could happen to all age groups. Any one of these could create feelings of loss (loss of mobility, social interaction, resources, finances, and one’s own mortality). The rate for depression occurring with other medical illnesses is quite high:

• Heart attack: 40%-65%

• Coronary artery disease (without heart attack): 18%-20%

• Parkinson’s disease: 40%

• Multiple sclerosis: 40%

• Stroke: 10%-27%

• Cancer: 25%

• Diabetes: 25%

The relationship between medical issues and mental health is a two-way street. Mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and substance abuse have a strong link to physical ailments. Sleep and fatigue due to mental health problems affect and stress us, and if we are not given enough time to replenish our body we become more susceptible to illness. When we are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks our body experience what is referred to as flight or fight syndrome, which is just one clear example of the stress these mental health issues have on our body. This would also make our body more prone to illness and breakdowns.

Another factor to consider in addressing medical conditions and mental health is medication. Some medications have side effects that could amplify emotions such as anxiety or depression. If a person has substance abuse problems, the risk of abusing prescriptions is greatly increased. Energy level or lack thereof, creates less ability to socialize and increase feeling of isolation, and medications can amplify these feelings as well. Also, some medications may have other side effects such as a change in sexual desire, which could affect self confidence and relationship issues.

It is important to understand that medical challenges could have a huge impact on a person’s psyche. Identify emotional issues that may surface or are surfacing, and have a dialogue with your support group to educate them on what you are currently feeling and what you may experience later on. Try to develop regular sleep patterns and resist the urge to isolate. Your doctor can educate you and your loved ones on medications and side effects. Inviting a loved one or significant other in on such a discussion will only serve to educate them better on what you are feeling and how best to cope with it. There are some exercise programs out there such as water aerobics that may be possible for some with doctor approval. Monitoring your diet is another way to stay both physically and mentally healthy. Lastly, seek out a therapist who has experience working with individuals with medical conditions to get the best help for your situation.

Do you know where you were when you heard that Robin Williams had died? I do. I felt like I had lost a family friend. Back in the day when TV meant something, Robin was a breath of fresh air, even on Happy Days.

He even made the Fonz look cooler. Then there was Mork and Mindy. His Johnny Carson appearances, including being one of the last two guests to be on Carson’s show.

Robin’s love of Jonathan Winters helped a whole new generation learn about a brilliant, improvisational comedian who had a great influence on Robin. From The World According to Garp, The Fisher King, Goodnight Vietnam to Aladdin, Robin grew and brought us along with him with kindness, humility and a never-ending well of creativity.

Then one of my troubled teen’s parents said to me: “You know, Robin seemed a lot like your clients” and it hit me. He did seem a lot like my clients. Creative people. Sensitive people. People struggling with life. Some with Aspergers. Some with Bipolar or other mental health issues but they had one advantage that Robin did not (I really wasn’t going to say me, please)… they had not learned how to succeed in life. They were stuck and nothing before our work had worked. The work which did help them was being mentored to use their talents to rise above their challenges. To have a mentor that could discuss their private fears free of the “real world”, friends and family.

Of course, this made me happy and hopeful for my clients but very, very sad for my lost family friend. Robin. Through his successes, his genius, his drive to push himself into new territories, Robin played the old magician’s trick of misdirection. We were looking at the wrong hand while the other was suffering.

There are three things I will take away from this.

1) Those who can should decide right now to mentor our troubled Millenials. Millenials with addictions, those with anxiety, those with mental illness and those with learning challenges.

2) We must be ever-vigilant to also mentor the Millenials who seem to be successful but underneath the surface are also suffering. Those with the same issues and more who are good at misdirection

3) In a world filled with divisions, hatred, war, gatherings of people wishing to cut off the head of democracy, we must counter that with love for all people, find those Millenials who might fall under the thrall of hatred and calls to war and help these Millenials to find how to be great from their powers of kindness, grace and charity.

Here is what I promise to do. I intend to train 1000 mentors by the year 2020, to help young people, focusing on Millenials in inner cities and underdeveloped nations to offer the three things I have just mentioned. This I so vow.

I will also begin to share some of the different challenges that face mentors in helping Millenials in upcoming articles. Feel free to send me any questions that may arise.

Share with me and the readers what you shall do to help these young people and then commit to start tomorrow. Keep a journal. Do 30 minutes a day. Five minutes a day when nothing else is possible.

We will find that mentoring these Millenials may be the best remedy to a troubled world.

“Key metaphors help determine what and how we perceive, and how we think about our perceptions”. M. H. Abrams

Perceptions are created from life experiences, and they can be your greatest source of encouragement, or create your biggest mental block. Working as a therapist and life coach I spend a lot of time delving into the perceptions of those people I work with by using interpretive images such as metaphors. Why? Metaphors tell a story or provide a visual cue to help us see alternative ways of looking at personal challenges.

Creative and powerful, metaphors have a uniquely meaningful influence, bringing together clarity and attention to your specific situation. Some refer to this experience as an “aha moment”. One of the most transforming, is the key metaphor that stems from the optical viewer known as a kaleidoscope. Described as a “key” metaphor because it offers up ever-changing images and constantly shifting perspectives that everyone can relate to. Speaker Rosabeth Moss Kanter illustrates the kaleidoscope metaphor as a window to the world, in that you look at a set of elements, and with intention reassemble those floating bits and pieces into how you perceive yourself, and your world. All of which make up your life. The smallest shift having the potential to create a new awareness, as was the case in the story of my friend’s daughter Kate.

My Friends Daughter: Story of the Seen and Unseen

As the door opened, my friend was struck by the tears streaming down her daughter’s face.

Stumbling to speak through her tears, my friend’s daughter said “It’s not fair, it’s not my fault, it’s just not fair”! Curious my friend stopped what she was doing to listen. She wanted to know more about what had made her daughter so upset.

“What’s not fair Kate?” my friend asked.

Justifying her tears, my friend’s daughter said “Because I’m the tallest in my class I always get put last in line. Just once I would like to be first, it’s not my fault. I didn’t ask to be tall, it’s just not fair”.

Calmly my friend replied. “Kate do you remember the lesson of the Kaleidoscope?”

“That sometimes you need to go exploring to find a solution” replied Kate.

Okay then, said my friend,” let’s go exploring. Why don’t we begin by lining up just you as you would do in school “. Kate looked at her mother and did as she requested. Now standing behind her, my friend using her best militant voice yelled out “about-face” and Kate found herself first in line, right where she wanted to be.

Excited Kate said “Oh mommy, if all I want is to be first in line, I just need to turn around”!

By prompting Kate to think about the lesson of the Kaleidoscope along with intentional instruction from my friend, Kate was able see her situation in a new and different way. Whether or not you agree with the concept that problems are created when you stop seeking solutions is not important. What is helpful is the realization that challenges cannot be transformed into opportunities when an obstacle you are facing consumes all your attention.

Take-away: Even though what you see may not be up to you or me, the way it is viewed is up to you.

Making Your Kaleidoscope

While I don’t believe you need any practical excuse for owning a kaleidoscope other than for the sheer enjoyment, so don’t forget to find the fun in exploring creative solutions!

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life!

Are you constantly improving or have you hit the proverbial glass ceiling? Any golfer with reasonable eye/hand co-ordination can score in the eighties consistently on a regulation length golf course.

How can I make the above statement with any confidence?

I’ve met over 11,000 students during the past 32 years of teaching the game for a living. The skill levels ranged from rank beginner to twenty year veteran. The majority progressed steadily for the first five years, then the rate of improvement either slowed down or stopped altogether.

On the practice range, their skill level is so far beyond their actual handicap, that it seemed like two different people. The goal in this series is to help you consistently transfer the skills you already have, from the practice range to the golf course.

How many golfers do you know that have the skill set to play bogey golf or better, but struggle for years to break ninety?

An awareness of these (unconscious) beliefs will help you achieve optimize results from your current skill level, by changing the way you feel. As we all know, golf is a game of feel.

Belief # 1: Focusing on Mistakes Will Lead To Improvement

Have you ever hit a perfect shot? Of course you have. Can you recall what you were thinking? I’ll bet you weren’t thinking about swing mechanics; left elbow straight, shift the weight, delay the wrist release, lead with the hips and so on…

Golfers are conditioned to focus on mistakes. Does the habit of continually looking for swing flaws help you feel better? I doubt it. It perpetuates the feeling that you will never master a consistent swing.

So what’s the alternative?

Train yourself to lock in the feeling of the good shots. This is easier said than done. The majority of high-handicap golfers automatically start berating themselves after one poor shot; they obsess over the poor shots and take the good shots for granted. You must learn how to reverse the process.

Get excited over the good shots. How you feel is based on your memories. Memories are linked to emotion. Positive emotion instantly recalls memories of success which improves your chances of re-creating the results.

Take five minutes a day to mentally replay your best shots. Recall as much detail as possible; the more vivid the memory, the quicker it will be recalled when needed. Eventually, you will develop the habit of instantly replacing the memories of poor shots with successful ones.

You may not have the physical skill to hit three-hundred yard drives like the Tour professionals, but any golfer can develop the mental beliefs that keep you on the path to constant improvement.

In Part II, we look at the belief that you can consciously change your swing.

Go out, have fun and just hit the damn ball!

Creative thinking is necessary in many cases. Whether your trying to solve a tough problem, start a business, or write an article creative thinking is critical. People need to “think outside the box” when it comes to creative thinking. We are such creatures of habit. We don’t like to think differently than others because we don’t want to be thought of as strange or different. But it’s those strange and different people that make a difference in this world.

Here is a list of 10 metal blocks that will keep you from being creative.

1. Trying to Find the “right” answer. One of the worst aspects of formal education is we have been taught to find the right answer. In real life there may be more than one right answer. Many of us form mental blocks when looking for the right answer when more than one answer is available.

2. Logical Thinking. Not only is there more than one right answer, life can be very illogical. If you are a logical thinker it is a mental block to your creativity. Think in metaphors and it will help you communicate the illogical things of life.

3. Following Rules. Rules are very important at times, but they can also be a destructive force and a mental block to creativity. People don’t like to think outside the rules. Many celebrate the rebels of life but few are brave enough to emulate them.

4. Being Practical. I am a very practical person. I will not do something if it doesn’t have a practical use. This is good sometimes but it can also be a mental block to creativity. Try to approach a problem with “what if” and go out and do the crazy thing instead of being so practical.

5. Play is not work. Allowing your mind to be at play is perhaps the most effective way to stimulate creative thinking. Most people, however, disassociate play from work. You’ve heard the expression “work hard and play hard.” All you have to do as a creative thinker is realize they are the same thing.

6. That’s not my job. We live in a very specialized world it is so easy for us to think, “that’s not my job.” When you are in business for yourself and getting those creative juices flowing everything is your job.

7. Being a “serious” person. I am a very serious person. Sometimes it is a mental block for me. I get too serious and I’m not able to think. If you have to take on the persona of a fool to be creative, then do it.

8. Avoid Ambiguity. We are all ambiguous to some degree. However, we want to divide complex situation into black and white boxes. This can lead to disaster. It’s an innate characteristic of the human psychology to desire certainty, but it’s the creative thinker who rejects the false comfort of clarity when it’s not really appropriate.

9. Being wrong is bad. Because of the way we are taught in school, we hate being wrong. Thomas Edison was wrong 1,800 times before getting the light bulb right. The best thing we can do is learn from our mistakes. But we let being wrong become a mental block and we don’t learn from the mistakes we make. Ask yourself, what can happen if I’m wrong? Not much. But great things can happen if you dare to be wrong and learn from your mistakes.

10. I’m not creative. You are denying that you are human if you deny that you are creative. We’re all limitless creative, but only to the extent that we realize it. Stop telling yourself that you aren’t creative. It’s a lie.

Of you want to have success in your life you need to overcome the mental blocks that keep you from that success. Being a creative thinker is one sure way to success.

I was looking for psychotherapy through dream translation when I was a young adult and I became a mother. I couldn’t imagine that my psychotherapy through dream translation was my purpose in life, but I could recognize this truth when I found it.

I became mentally healthy thanks to dream therapy, especially after discovering that the unconscious mind that produces our dreams is God’s mind. I understood that I had to help the world understand the value of this psychotherapeutical method. It happened not only because I was intelligent enough to understand the importance of my discoveries, but because God showed me that I had to transmit my knowledge to the world.

Since then, I stopped being a writer. I had to become a doctor. Instead of writing beautiful poems I had to be a hero into practice, and deal with terror.

God made me study the abnormal behavior that characterizes the mentally ill and understand the meaning of absurdity. I became one-thousand-years-old, even though I seemed to be only 29-years-old at that time.

I had to help my patients stop being desperate. I worked hard curing many people during nineteen years, before being able to publish my first scientific book.

My work couldn’t be theoretical. Carl Jung’s method of dream interpretation had to be simplified in order to have practical value. Everyone had to follow a few simple steps to find sound mental health, without so many complications. I became extremely objective.

I’m still an artist, but now everything I write always is important and serious. I’m always giving explanations and lessons.

I helped many people without payment. I was giving support to my patients like a nun, and not like a cold doctor. This is why I was with them in the worst moments of their lives.

I became so religious that I stated giving lessons to nuns and priests. After six years of atheism and a few years of doubts without really believing in God, I became very religious when I found scientific proof of His existence thanks to the information I had in dreams.

My old friends were surprised when they saw that I became a missionary. My religiosity was not expected by anyone. Everybody knew that I was atheist when I was young, after suffering from a tragic car accident. They also knew that I was indifferent and lazy.

I stopped being selfish and distant. I paid attention to other people’s problems.

Everyone around me believed that I was silly because I was so generous instead of being as selfish as I could. I was a hero without support or recognition. My materialistic family despised my sacred mission.

Today many people are glad because of my obedience to the unconscious guidance. They admire my persistence besides all obstacles, dangers, and humiliations.

I didn’t doubt for a second that I had to defend God’s existence and prove to the world that everyone must obey the divine guidance in dreams. This is why I was so persistent.

I wouldn’t have the courage to deal with so many problems if the scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung wasn’t so important. This method helps you understand God’s words in dreams. Its importance is not only psychological.

God sends us secret messages in dreams when we are not listening to our evil anti-conscience, which is our wild conscience. After discovering the existence of the anti-conscience I could clarify all the obscure points in Carl Jung’s work. Everything started making sense.

On the other hand, my life biography was marked by many tragic experiences and the death of many people who were close to me, when they young. This fact made me care about the meaning of death. I had to find answers for all questions.

My life biography also was marked by my father’s schizophrenic behavior, which I used to observe without being able to understand his reactions. He was very cruel with everyone. Fortunately, with me he was an angel because I looked like him and I was very intelligent when I was a child.

Besides my father’s example, I was shocked by the fact that one of my best friends from the time we were teens became psychotic and completely lost his identity when he became a young adult. My friend Arnold started following a useless treatment with a psychiatrist, which was based on medication. After following this painful treatment that didn’t help him in any way for five years, he put an end to his own life.

His example showed me the tragedy I would have to deal with. I had the obligation to help those who end up like my mentally ill friend.

Many people feel that their life was ruined by psychiatric medication. They feel that they don’t have a functioning brain because of their doctor’s mistakes. They also have tremors and many other unbearable symptoms, which were caused by dangerous medication that shouldn’t be allowed.

I had to become a psychiatrist and psychologist through dream translation and help many people who had no chances to overcome their mental illness, in order to prove to the world the effectiveness of this treatment. Everyone found sound mental health thanks to the divine guidance. When they didn’t cooperate relating their dreams, I had a series of dreams about their case.

Dream translation is a natural and safe treatment for mental disorders and unbearable symptoms. The unconscious psychotherapy in dreams cures your psyche with comprehension. This is the only treatment you can trust because it is based on wisdom and sanctity, and not on dangerous suppositions.

Fasting can be stimulating not only for the body, and the regeneration of cells, but for the regeneration of cells in the mind. For centuries religious fasts have been occurring to bring one closer with the divine, and to increase spiritual awareness. Today, fasting occurs mainly in traditional eastern medicine and traditional practices. What are the benefits for the mind of fasting? Are there techniques that we can apply while fasting to increase mental awareness or brain function?

There are three types of fasting: dry fasting, juice fasting, and modified fasting. Dry fasting is when the individual refrains from all food and drink throughout the fasting period. Juice fasting allows the individual to consume water, as well as pure vegetable and fruit juices that contain no modified sugars. Modified fasting often involves water and juices, as well as small quantities of herbal teas or steamed vegetables. The most common type of fasting that restores mental alertness is juice fasting, as the body is still gaining valuable nutritional requirements.

Mental alertness is said to increase with the practice of fasting. Fasting has been shown to stabilize mental functions, and decrease nervousness within the individual.

Not only can mental health be increased, but fasting can help to cure the body of habits that have been developed such as alcohol, caffeine or bad foods. They release the chemicals from the body, and the brain loses the dependence on these items.

Mental alertness may be increased by the willpower and energy that it requires to abstain from all sources of food and drink during the time while one is fasting.

At the beginning of the fast, energy levels are increased as the carbohydrates and sugars are being drawn from the body. After these have been excreted, the body enters a state of autolysis, in which it refers to its own supply of cells for energy. This increased energy level often gives the individual who is fasting the determination to continue on the fast.

Individuals that fast for religious reasons or otherwise have all reported a peace of mind or tranquility that comes with the fasting. These increased levels of peace have led to studies that have correlated fasting with decreased levels of stress.

There are many benefits to fasting, and these are only a few of the known mental health benefits. Fasting can increase your mental awareness by giving a feeling of strength over the needs of the body, which can lead to stronger immune and belief systems alike.

Are you wondering how to set boundaries with your difficult adult child who has a mental illness? It is hard to have adult children that make poor choices that cause problems in their lives and in their parents’ lives; it is even more difficult to have adult children who have mental illnesses that contribute to those choices. When our children have eating disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD or any other mental illness, it poses additional complications and we may be inclined to “help” too much. Here are four questions to answer that will enable you to figure out whether you are helping too much. Answering them will give you guidance for setting boundaries.

Is your helping necessary? There are times when “helping” prevents your child from taking responsibility and growing into what he/she “should” be doing. There are also times when “helping” is truly necessary. You have to weigh the positive against the negative benefits of stepping in. You also have to take into consideration what your child truly cannot do for himself/herself due to the mental illness. This is an important determination and needs to take all aspects into consideration and may require you to accept less than perfect behavior and/or do more than you would if your child were mentally healthy.

Is your helping encouraging? All of your “helping” should encourage your adult child to do better and become more independent. It shouldn’t be so controlling that it takes away the incentive for your adult child to try or that it sends the message that he/she is incapable of handling his/her own life. Helping someone to help themselves is the goal. All of us learn best when we are in control of our choices and directly experience the consequences of them.

Is your helping healthy? You care about your child and feel responsible for him/her especially because he/she is “sick;” but, do you care about yourself too? It is critical that you do. What do you need? What do you want? What are you feeling? What is good for you? Is it good for you to talk to or see your child? Is it good for you to help? Is it good for you to have your child live in your house? Is it good for you to let go? Because of your legitimate concerns, you have hyper-focused on your child and what your child needs. This is natural, but it needs to shift. You may have worn yourself out to save your child. You have given emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially, physically, and relationally. Now it is time to consider yourself too, because you can’t lose yourself to save your child and end up losing both of you.

Is your helping working? The definition of “insanity” is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Think about all the things you have done over and over that haven’t worked. It is good to have hope but it needs to be grounded in reality. If certain things have never worked, try something different. You have to analyze the effects of the things you are doing by looking at how they are affecting your child. Make a cost versus benefit analysis and decide whether each thing is working and whether something else might work better. Your expectations might also have to be more reasonable to be in line with what is possible.

The mental illness makes your situation more complicated and obviously has to be taken into consideration. When setting boundaries with your difficult adult child with a mental illness, answer these four questions so that your boundaries will be good for both of you.

Each of us reacts to situations differently, depending on his own temperament. Numerology can analyze your name and predict how you will respond to problems based on four basic categories: Mental, Physical, Emotional, and Intuitive. And to see how you react to problems involving thought, we need to calculate your Mental number.

Your Mental number is how you approach problems that mainly require thought; decisions based on what you know. All problems have elements each category, but mental problems tend to have very little cross-over into the other categories.

Calculating your Mental Number

Your Mental number is determined by counting the number of mental letters in your use name, and then reducing the sum to a single digit using fadic addition. In Numerology, the following letters are classified as Mental letters: (A, G, H, J, L, N, and P).

As an example, actor Johnny Depp has a Mental temperament number of (6) as shown below.

Johnny Depp = (J, H, N, N) + (P, P) = (4 + 2) = (6)

The following is a list of Mental numbers, and how you approach mental problems with each one.

Mental (0)

This value shows that you dislike making decisions based on facts. You have a difficult time studying and lack confidence in your own powers of reason and logic.

Mental (1)

This value shows that you are an original thinker, able to find new and exciting ways of doing things. You tend to be impatient and will dominate discussions concerning your thoughts and ideas.

Mental (2)

This value shows that you enjoy knowledge for its own sake and are good at detailed work. Collaboration is easy for you; because you see both sides of every question.

Mental (3)

This value shows that you bring your creativity to every mental problem. You need constant stimulation to avoid becoming bored. You see the funny side of life, and tend to be something of a practical joker.

Mental (4)

This value shows that you approach problems with logic and reason. You like solid practical ideas, and mistrust the unusual or the untried solution. Your plans are always workable and well thought out.

Mental (5)

This value shows that you have a quick and agile mind. You love new plans and ideas. You have many interests and are constantly jumping back and forth between them. You are a good conversationalist.

Mental (6)

This value shows that you think responsibly, and are a creative problem solver. You always see the difficulties of others in your thought processes.

Mental (7)

This value shows that you have good analytical skills if people will leave you alone to use them. You need solitude and hate it when others interfere in your decision making process. You see a great deal but tend to keep your observations to yourself.

Mental (8)

This value shows that you have a powerful and efficient business sense. You are driven to succeed and are a strong, tough champion for your thoughts and ideas. Guard against the tendency to be greedy about material things.

Mental (9)

This value shows that you have a broad vision of what needs to be done. You are not a detail person. You are idealistic and considerate of your fellow man when making plans.
