The way we see the problem is the problem.

Self-awareness is our capacity to stand apart from ourselves and examine our thinking, our motives, our history, our scripts, our actions, and our habits and tendencies.

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

People who end up with the good jobs are the proactive ones who are solutions to problems, not problems themselves, who seize the initiative to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.

If we want to make a change in our lives, we should first focus on our personal attitudes and behaviors.

Begin with the end in mind.

Reactive people... are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior.
