Capability is the HOW: I develop skills. I learn to walk, talk, play the piano, perform math calculations. I am aware that I can learn NEW skills and capability. To become a capability a skill must be a repeatable, practiced, automatic behavior, not just a fluke.

SPIRIT MISSION - CONNECTIVITY. I am part of a bigger system. I recognize I am connected to a broad system of friends, family, community, global and Spirituals entities. How do I fit here? What will I contribute here? OVERALL PURPOSE, BELIEFS, SENSE OF SELF EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE. I choose who I want to be, how I want to live. My existence is significant. I decide what I am capable of and how I want to behave. I distinguish me. UNCONSCIOUS MIND SUPPORTS OR DENIES CAPABILITIES. I consider the standards, values and motivations behind the behavior. I provide direction based on what I believe happened and what I think is possible. Limiting beliefs can stop me from feeling/being capable. SEMI-CONSCIOUS ACTIONS GIVE DIRECTION TO BEHAVIORAL ACTIONS. I generate a changes in motivation, permission and/or direction. Capabilities direct behavior. I get a grip on situation. ACTIONS & REACTIONS RE: WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ENVIRONMENT: Conscious actions. I do, say and think things on purpose with some intention, and also react the stimulus. REACTIONS: Experiencing sensations, I have automatic, unconscious reflex reactions to environmental stimulus. This Is how something happened or came about. Causation for what happened in the situation (story) Is outside of me, I observed it and was affected by it.
