Human beings are not things needing to be motivated and controlled; they are four dimensional - body, mind, heart, and spirit.

Consequences are governed by principles, and behavior is governed by values; therefore, value principles!

The undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites and passions

The way we see the problem is the problem.

The more aware we are of our basic paradigms, maps, or assumptions, and the extent to which we have been influenced by our experience, the more we can take responsibility for those paradigms, examine them, test them against reality, listen to others and be open to their perceptions, thereby getting a larger picture and a far more objective view.

When we succumb to believing that we are victims of our circumstances and yield to the plight of determinism, we lose hope, we lose drive, and we settle into resignation and stagnation.

We think we see the world as it is, when in fact we see the world as we are.
