Level 0: Supreme Being
Earlier, I mentioned the behaviors for my life are based on a set of “Core Beliefs”. My highest level core belief is the concept of a “Supreme Being”!
Thinking about the idea of a Supreme Being led me to realize and adopt qualities that would be useful in helping me to be a WINNER in life!
I have a sense of self, order and purpose about my life. Having a sense of order is the quality that prevents a life of chaos! Having a sense of self and purpose is what prevented exploitation from others that did not have my best interests at heart.
These are qualities and behaviors I was then able to pass on to my children! As an aside, these are traits I should have gotten from my CULTURE!

Behaviors I adopted to be a WINNER!
- To always remember life is much harder and less enjoyable when you are a LOSER!
- To realize that the things I wanted in life are in limited supply and I would have to COMPETE with others for those things! There are WINNERS and there are LOSERS!
- To compete, I would have to LEARN marketable skills and talents because we live in a capitalist society which means the quality of your life is highly related to the quality of your income!
- To overcome the narrative that because my ancestors were SLAVES, I am a VICTIM and that it is not my fault if I turn out HELPLESS, USELESS and HOPELESS!
- To realize the ACTIONS of people ( politicians, members of the government and media ) count 1,000 times more than their words! FOLLOW THE MONEY! They are RICH and you are NOT!
- To realize politicians, members of the government and media; and maybe even church leaders have a VESTED INTEREST in keeping you HELPLESS, USELESS and HOPELESS! In this way, they can have lucrative careers “PRETENDING” to help you!
These are qualities and behaviors I was then able to pass on to my children! As an aside, these are traits I should have gotten from my CULTURE!
