More Quotes by Stephen Covey
Little kindness and courtesies are so important. In relationships, the little things are the big things.
Be a light, not a judge, be a model not a critic. Little by little, your circle of influence will explode and you will avoid the emotional metastasizing cancers of complaining, criticizing, competing, comparing and cynicism, all which reflect victimization, all of which are the opposite of being proactive.
Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.
The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.
Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
You don't see the world as it is, you see it according to who you are.
See every problem as an opportunity to exercise creative energy.
