The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass - when what we do doesn't contribute to what is most important in our lives.
Stephen CoveyThe key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
Stephen CoveyLook at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're not doing or should be doing that's the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself. That thought is the problem.
