More quotes by Stephen Covey

A long, healthy, and happy life is the result of making contributions, of having meaningful projects that are personally exciting and contribute to and bless the lives of others.
Stephen Covey

In our own lives, having a mind-set of expecting to win increases our odds of winning. It helps us get better results. And better results help us increase our credibility and self-confidence, which leads to more positive self-expectancy, and more winning - and the upward cycle continues. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.
Stephen Covey

I can change. I can live out of my imagination instead of my memory. I can tie myself to my limitless potential instead of my limiting past

Stephen Covey

Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives.
