More Quotes by Stephen Covey
We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.
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.
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.
Live your life by a compass, not a clock.
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.
To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.
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.
The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.
