  3. Identification: Continually looking into yourself to see what makes you uniquely happy.
  4. Centrality: Making sure that what makes you happy is central in your life.
  5. Recasting: Converting problems into opportunities, transforming trauma into something meaningful.
  6. Options: Approaching life with multiple scenarios, being open to new possibilities, a flexible life script.
  7. Appreciation: The choice to stay in the present, making each experience precious, appreciating deeply.
  8. Giving: Sharing yourself with friends and community.
  9. Truthfulness: The choice to be honest with yourself and others in an accountable manner by not allowing societal, corporate or family demands to violate your internal contract.
