What difference would a clear vision of my principles, values, and ultimate objectives make in the way I spend my time?
Stephen CoveyBeing proactive is more than taking initiative. It is recognizing that we are responsible for our own choices and have the freedom to choose based on principles and values rather than on moods or condition. Proactive people are agents of change and choose not to be victims, to be reactive, or to blame others.
Stephen CoveyThe place to begin building any relationship is inside ourselves, inside our circle of influence, our own character.
