Mindset Transformation: "Rather than judge others as good or bad or yourself as good or bad, recognize it's your perception that makes the judgment. Therefore, when you shift your perception to neutral and you adopt an attitude of acceptance, you dissolve the emotional charge that allows you to control your behavior, and you lead optimum results with others."
