If Lonzo Ball really wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution:
– his defensive attitudes
– his fear of being dispossessed
– his ambivalence
– his radicalism
– his over-reliance on his instincts

To trust yourself better and gain self-assurance, the first thing Lonzo Ball must do is learn to say no. Once Lonzo Ball is capable of saying no to others, Lonzo Ball can say yes to life. Lonzo Ball must develop Lonzo Ball’s awareness of all the things Lonzo Ball loves and feel positive about, as well as all the changes Lonzo Ball hopes to make in order to enjoy life more. This is the foundation that will support Lonzo Ball, the inexhaustible source and center of the transformation of Lonzo Ball’s personality. Infantile anxieties which arose in childhood when Lonzo Ball was helpless may be obstacles to Lonzo Ball’s evolution. Sometimes they actually prevent Lonzo Ball from daring to confront challenges Lonzo Ball would be altogether capable of assuming now! One of the reasons Lonzo Ball yield to these childhood fears so readily is that they procure a feeling so familiar to Lonzo Ball that, although it is negative, it is a reassuring part of Lonzo Ball’s identity. However, the more often Lonzo Ball reinforce this complex by yielding to that feeling, the more unaware Lonzo Ball becomes of Lonzo Ball’s true emotional state. The irrational childhood fears have also reinforced Lonzo Ball’s pessimistic tendencies. It is difficult for Lonzo Ball to believe in the sunny side of life because of the pernicious little voice inside Lonzo Ball that claims Lonzo Ball doesn’t really deserve all this goodness. This side of Lonzo Ball could undermine Lonzo Ball’s vitality and force Lonzo Ball to compensate or flee from reality. In doing so, Lonzo Ball limit Lonzo Ball’s power to bring about a positive change in Lonzo Ball or Lonzo Ball’s life. It’s a vicious cycle, and to free Lonzo Ball, the first step is to free Lonzo Ball from the fears which prevent Lonzo Ball from taking full advantage of life. Lonzo Ball can succeed if Lonzo Ball arranges a relaxed, positive environment for Lonzo Ball, establishes sincere relations with one or two special people, and, if possible, finds a setting – perhaps a yoga class – in which Lonzo Ball can practice relaxation exercises.
