Definition of living an InControl life :
1. You do what you love, you love who you are doing it with and doing it for and how you are doing it.
2. Being conscious of whats happening in your lives
3. Exploring opportunities to optimise your potential, away from your ego
4. Enjoying the journey in getting what you want, create the positivity
5. Challenging yourself and surroundings to grow
6. Empowering your life and help others

The core of being in control is the CONSCIOUSNESS. Then comes the 3 cornerstones, which is CONTENTMENT, CONSISTENCY, and CONVERSION.

There’s 12 pillars, which you may encounter at different stages in life:
1. Character- the ability to always stay in control of our actions and thoughts
2. Communication- the ability to make everything so simple that everybody can understand
3. Curiosity- the desire to know more, do more, and add value
4. Compass- the ability to make wise decisions and pick the right direction
5. Courage- the ability to get out of your comfort zone
6. Collaboration- the ability to boost the spirit of togetherness and inclusion by thinking and acting as a team
7. Connection- The ability to be likeable and charismatic
8. Competency- the steppingstone to confidence
9. Companion- the ability to pick the right circle
10. Cash- The ability to store, invest, and smartly grow your wealth
11. Condition- The ability to retain a healthy state of the body, mind, emotion and soul
12. Contribution- the ability and desire to make the world a better place to live

Impactful and insightful, simply the best self-help/growth book I’ve read this year so far! I took slightly more than a month to read this intentionally while annotating crazily, making notes in every single chapters as if I was studying for exams
