The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history.

Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less.
Stephen Covey

The commitments we make to ourselves and to others, and our integrity to those commitments, is the essence and clearest manifestation of our proactivity.

The key to motivation is motive. It's the why. It's the deeper yes! burning inside that makes it easier to say no to the less important.
Stephen Covey
Image
Start small, make a promise and keep it. Then, make larger promises and keep them. Eventually, your honor will become greater than your moods or your circumstances, which includes your medical condition and other people's stereotypic observations. Once you overcome this comparison based mentality, your confidence will soar.

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.
Stephen Covey
Image
Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus.

We don't invent our missions, we detect them.

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.
Stephen Covey
Image
Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Stephen Covey

Leadership without mutual trust is a contradiction in terms.
Stephen Covey
