More quotes by Stephen Covey
Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition - such as lifting weights - we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.
Stephen Covey
As we make and keep commitments, even small commitments, we begin to establish an inner integrity that gives us the awareness of self-control and the courage and strength to accept more of the responsibility for our own lives. By making and keeping promises to ourselves and others, little by little, our honor becomes greater than our moods.
Stephen Covey
Common sense is not always common practice.
Stephen Covey
We can act instead of being acted upon.
Stephen Covey
You can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is.
Stephen Covey
When I started teaching I realized that I had never had such a level of satisfaction and such a feeling of fulfillment and sense of contribution. Just like that. But, usually it's more cumulative, slow, evolutionary and less revolutionary.
Stephen Covey
The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don't have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.
Stephen Covey
Each of us guard a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside.
Stephen Covey
The greatest and most inspiring mountain climbing achievements in history are not so much stories of individual achievement, but are stories of the extraordinary power of a unified, talented, prepared team that stays loyally committed to one another and to their shared vision to the end.
Stephen Covey
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Stephen Covey
Interdependency follows independence.
Stephen Covey
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
Effective people do two things: they strive to do excellent work, and they prioritize.
Stephen Covey
When we say that leadership is a choice, it basically means you can choose the level of initiative you want to exercise in response to the question, ‘What is the best I can do under the given circumstances?’
Stephen Covey
An abundance mentality springs from internal security, not from external rankings, comparisons, opinions, possessions, or associations.
Stephen Covey
Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost daily in people's lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure.
Stephen Covey
Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall.
Stephen Covey
Independent thinking alone is not suited to interdependent reality.
Stephen Covey
Self-mastery and self-discipline are the foundation of good relationships with others.
Stephen Covey
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.
