In the space between stimulus (what happens) and how we respond, lies our freedom to choose. Ultimately, this power to choose is what defines us as human beings. We may have limited choices but we can always choose. We can choose our thoughts, emotions, moods, our words, our actions; we can choose our values and live by principles. It is the choice of acting or being acted upon.
Stephen CoveyEvery person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen CoveyNone of us see the world as it is but as we are, as our frames of reference, or maps, define the territory.
