The only person I know, is the person I want to be

The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.

We develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and obstacles.

Empathic listening takes time, but it doesn't take anywhere near as much time as it takes to back up and correct misunderstandings when you're already miles down the road; to redo; to live with unexpressed and unsolved problems; to deal with the results of not giving people psychological air.

Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Remember that our reactions are a product of our perceptions, and our perceptions are a result of what is at the center of our life.

Our problems and pain are universal and increasing, and the solutions to the problems are and always will be based upon universal, timeless, self-evident principles common to every enduring, prospering society throughout history.
