Successful problem solvers have five basic beliefs about themselves and life that problem makers don't have
1. What happens to me in life is caused by what I decide
2. I expect good things to happen when I make good decisions
3. I have far more choices in life than it seems
4. Every choice and decision has a consequence
5. No problem in life is so big that I can't deal with it in some way to some degree using I.D.E.A.L
