3.     I AM joy, I create joyfully and playfully with ease.

4.     I AM divine intuition and trust life to unfold perfectly in every moment.

5.     I AM truth, I reveal truth gracefully authentic. I seek experiential truth rather than being right or correct. I allow myself to be wrong and am open for the third alternative.

15.  I AM time and space. My NO! creates my NOW!, which creates all the time I need.

The concept of writing my manifesto I was introduced by Rich Litvin, who has developed his document with Steve Hardison. Steve Hardison shares in the book about „The Ultimate Coach“ several versions of his own document.
