If we spend most of our time concerned about things we cannot truly directly influence, what we can influence will be reduced. If we spend our energies on those things over which we can expect positive results, we will expand our influence.
Stephen CoveyA moment of choice is a moment of truth. It's the testing point of our character and competence.
Stephen CoveyThe ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is the key professional and personal competency of our time.
Stephen CoveyOnce we are self-aware, we must choose purposes and principles to live by; otherwise the vacuum will be filled, and we will lose our self-awareness and become like groveling animals who live primarily for survival and propagation. People who exist on that level aren't living; they are "being lived".
