Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.
Stephen CoveyWhether we are aware of it or not, whether we are in control of it or not, there is a first creation to every part of our lives. We are either the second creation of our own proactive design, or we are the second creation of other people's agendas, of circumstances, or of past habits.
Stephen CoveyOur lives are the results of our choices. To blame and accuse other people, the environment, or other extrinsic factors is to choose to empower those things to control us.
Stephen CoveyYou are dependent if you allow the weaknesses of other people to ruin your emotional life!
