F.L.A.P.P. : the Five Levels of Attitudes That People Possess

turn fear into faith
fear freezes you in place
faith frees you to move forward
live on your faith and not on your fears

turn loneliness into liberation
loneliness is a state of mind
liberation is a state of being

turn anger into ambition
anger is the loss of control
ambition is taking control

turn pain into progress
pain is destructive
progress is productive
let your pain be the emotion that propels you 

turn pleasure into performance
pleasure is about feeling good
performance is about doing good
