Proactive people carry their own weather with them.

Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.

If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.

The more people train their counsciousness, the more sensitivie they are to it. It's like you had your own voice coming to you.

You basically get what you reward. If you want to achieve the goals and reflect the values in your mission statement, then you need to align the reward system with these goals and values.

See every problem as an opportunity to exercise creative energy.

It is in the ordinary events of every day that we develop the proactive capacity to handle the extraordinary pressures of life. It's how we make and keep commitments, how we handle a traffic jam, how we respond to an irate customer or a disobedient child. It's how we view our problems and where we focus our energies. It's the language we use.
