Stephen Covey
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
Stephen Covey
Instead, I have an abundance mentality: When people are genuinely happy at the successes of others, the pie gets larger.
Stephen Covey
We tend to get what we expect - both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more when we expect less, we tend to get less.
