Stephen Covey quotes about
More essential than working on attitudes and behaviors is examining the paradigms out of which those attitudes and behaviors flow.
Success in one role can't justify failure in another.
Balance isn't either/or; it's 'and'.
As we create synergy among the roles of our lives, there's more of us to put into the time we have.
Whenever you experience stress of any kind, look into yourself and ask, In what way am I compromising my innermost values in this situation?
What difference would a clear vision of my principles, values, and ultimate objectives make in the way I spend my time?
Consult the wisdom of your heart as well as your mind.
The best way to develop courage is to set a goal and achieve it, make a promise and keep it.
The key to acting with integrity is to simply stop playing the game.
Make specific appointments with yourself to work on goals, and treat an appointment with yourself as you'd treat an appointment with anybody else.
To set and work toward any goal is an act of courage.
The great apparent dichotomy is that the more we give, the more we get.
If we want to make a change in our lives, we should first focus on our personal attitudes and behaviors.
Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs. Don't ignore that longing to make a difference.
