THE 12 MASTER PRINCIPLES OF A VITAL LIFE:
THE POWER OF PURE ENERGY What is the force for transforming the quality of our lives? What propels us forward to great achievement, and more importantly, fulfillment? What drives us to train our bodies, improve our relationships, and boost our finances?

fter spending three days of immersion in Unleash the Power Within, you have likely experienced incredible transformation, clarity, and have learned a myriad of strategies to take your life to the next level. The key now is making sure that you are able to maintain, and more importantly, build upon the momentum you have begun to create when you go home. The most important factor that will help ensure that you continue to take action and continue your progress is one simple power: ENERGY, There are many programs, products, books, and ideas in the world today about how to prevent disease, lose weight, increase your strength, or improve your appearance. In fact, we spend over $100 billion annually worldwide searching for the magic formula that will yield amazing fitness and alluring physical beauty. Yet, in the United States alone, two-thirds of the people are overweight, 25 million people suffer from diabetes, and half of the population are on some type of prescription drug for health problems. The situation is similar in most other industrialized nations of the world. The solutions to theses challenges, however, do not lie with technology, science, pharmacology, or even the many "quick fix" solutions available. Nor does it require you to put your time, money, and resources into an outside "expert" who will tell you what to do. Rather, this program is about taking charge once and for all of one of the most important areas of your life: how to revitalize and transform the level of physical health, energy, and vitality you experience daily. When you understand and follow the core principles that create health and energy, everything else falls into place: you look better, feel better, have more energy, and you begin to optimize all of the areas of your life that are most important to you. So, as you begin this program on how to create vital life and energy, let's make a commitment to hold ourselves to the highest standard possible—to play full out, to

take advantage of the resources that are available to us, to put aside any past beliefs or convictions that may be limiting us, and most importantly, to take care of our minds, bodies, and spirits at the deepest level. The result is that you will not only feel better and experience greater energy, but you will leave with a renewed sense of excitement, joy, and possibility for your entire life. Congratulations on making the commitment to take action and create the extraordinary health you deserve!
THREE PRIMARY OUTCOMES FOR THE PURE ENERGY PROGRAM: I
Learn the philosophy, tools, and strategies that create maximum health, vitality, and energy. Rather than focus on what will merely improve your health, our outcome is to give you the tools to absolutely optimize the quality of your health, energy, and life.
n| Provide you with expanded options and choices for creating health. Many of the concepts presented to you today may be new or even contrary to conventional wisdom that you may have been taught in the past. The goal of this program is to provide you with a 2nd opinion — an opportunity for you to think about, try on, and experience a new approach for creating the results you desire. 1
Empower you to take charge of your health and to take responsibility for the choices you make. There is so much information available to us in the area of health, it requires us to be vigilant and conscious about what we choose to believe, live by, and do in this important area of our lives.

THE 3 MASTER PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS:
THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE What creates extraordinary health? How do we create a level of vitality, energy, passion, and strength that is unsurpassed and never-ending? What is the secret to creating lasting change, not only in the area of health, but in any area of life?
N
o matter how extreme, miraculous, challenging, or complex a goal is in any area of life, most of them are obtainable with the right strategy and effort. A person can climb Mount Everest, lift 400 Ibs, stay awake for 72 hours straight, or lose 30 Ibs in 30 days and experience great victory. The true measure of success, however, is not in the initial attainment of a goal; rather, it lies with the ability for the change to be ^sustainable across time,context, _and rirnimstance. To create sustainable success and fulfillment, it requrreslrpsycriology and mindset that is based on an ongoing commitment to three principles:
I. CREATE THE BASE For anything to grow, you must create a strong foundation first.
III. CELEBRATE Set yourself up to win. All celebrating the victories.

I. CHALLENGE & GROW
THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE I. CREATE THE BASE For anything to grow, much less thrive, you must create a strong base. A tree must plant its roots deep in the rich soil, a lioness must learn how to hunt and protect her young, and a marathoner must create a foundation of endurance and strength. Your base consists of two parts: an gxtraordinary psychology and mindset as well as effective strategies for creating the lifestyle and habits that will produce ongoing results. For example, in the area of health, you need a strong mental base where you are in charge of creating beliefs and emotions that serve you; you also need a physical base that includes strategies such as breath, hydration, alkalinity, physical strength, and movement and structure. Remember, the immutable law of life: gO% of success in life is psycholpgy_and_2Q%-is mechanics. What is the 80% that will get you tKrough the challenges, obstaTlesTand difficult times? Once you manage your psychology, what strategies must you adopt to follow through? When your base becomes stronger and more powerful, there is less opportunity for your challenges to overcome you and halt your progress, success, and fulfillment.
II. CHALLENGE & GROW With a strong base in place, you have the foundation to not only deal with challenges, but to utilize them to grow. Thus, when the inevitable challenges arise, you can draw on your base of psychology, emotions, and daily habits to help pull you through. _Li£e_ is not perfection; it is growth. And, growth comes from pushing through the challenges ancTobstaclesTKat are T^etore us to attain the next level. Whatever you do to consistently create your base will shape your life and determine whether you meet your challenges with courage, faith, and determination or if you allow them to overcome you with fear, frustration, and overwhelm.
III. CELEBRATE & REWARD Finally, all momentum in life is created by celebrating the victories. You must set yourself up to win. Rather than wait to reward yourself after you've lost 45 Ibs and completed the Hawaii Ironman race, acknowledge your smaller wins along the way. As you celebrate your success, it creates a deeper hunger to build an even stronger base and pull yourself to even greater victory and triumph. In addition, you will raise your standards for what is possible and the rituals and habits necessary to make this sustainable success a part of who you are. j

THE POWER OF THE HUMAN BODY You possess a gift, a power that you can use immediately to transform the quality of your life.
I
t's the same power that allows your heart to beat over 100,000 times a day without even having to think about it. It pumps over 6,000 quarts of blood per day through a network of blood vessels that, if you were to put them end to end, would reach over 60,000 miles—enough to circle the earth twice at the equator. Just one strand of DNA in a single human cell would stretch two meters end to end. You have a set of eyes that instantly make over 10 million different color distinctions. You have muscles that if they were to work together and pull in one direction, would equal 25 tons of pulling power. Seventy-two of these muscles coordinate perfectly to create human speech. Your nose can distinguish over 10,000 distinct smells. Your 206 bones coordinate to allow you to move in virtually any direction. All of these processes are run by a body that's made up of about 98% water and that is run by a three-pound lump of matter we call our brain—a device that manages the whole process, continuously monitors everything, and works for over 80 years with very little care needed for it. And it runs on about as much electricity as you might use for a 10-watt light bulb. Its power, even with today's technology, is still greater than the fastest, most powerful computer on earth. With all this power within you, with this incredible computer—because your mind is probably the greatest computer on the planet—you can accomplish any dream or goal you desire if your brain is run properly. If your body runs ineffectively your goals remain just dreams.
ISN'T IT TIME YOU MADE FULL USE OF THE CAPACITY WITHIN YOU? ISN'T iT TIME TO TAKE CHARGE, APPRECIATE, AND UNLEASH THE MAGIC AND POWER WITHIN YOU NOW?
