  1. Grasshopper Philosophy
  2. Five Principles

Lifestyle and mindset betterment

"4. We focus all our efforts on lifestyle and mindset betterment."

While education nurtures the mind, and faith nurtures the soul, there is one more crucial element to Grasshopper Philosophy: the idea of getting things done.

It believes in a practical approach to recovery: a better lifestyle, and a better mindset. This encompasses changes such as better relationships, or more gratitude for existing relationships. Grasshopper Philosophy believes that proactive change in physical and mental environments is key.

To get there, Grasshopper eliminates as many barriers as possible for people to perform the internal and external work, but:

"... the responsibility for the potential quality of work rests on both the materials and instruction provided by Grasshopper. However, only the individual can control their effort. This is why we also focus on faith and motivation."
