The Accelerators

Point One: Acceptance. Accepting without anger or frustration the fact
that situations and circumstances are as they are and not the way they
“should be.”

Point Two: Empathy. Understanding of, resonating with, and placing
value on the experience of others.

Point Three: Purpose. Connection to a meaningful cause beyond your
own self-interest.

Point Four: Individuation. Seeing yourself as truly separate from others
and ending the need to compare and contrast.

Point Five: Practical Wisdom. Applying knowledge in active ways.

Point Six: Faith. Confidence in goodness and the probability of a
positive outcome.

Point Seven: Enjoyment. Conscious experience of and satisfaction
with the present situation.

Point Eight: Discipline. Rigor and structure that channel energy so
results are strategic rather than impulsive.

Point Nine: Generativity. Nurturing the growth and development of
those that come after you.
