Principles are the simplicity on the far side of complexity.
Stephen Covey
Image
All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.

We not not our feelings. We are not our moods. We not even our thoughts.

Common sense is not always common practice.
Stephen Covey

There's no better way to inform and expand you mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature.

It comes from within.
Stephen Covey
Image
Where there's no gardener, there's no garden.
Stephen Covey
Image
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.
Stephen Covey
Image
We think we see the world as it is, when in fact we see the world as we are.
Stephen Covey
Image
Live the law of love. We encourage obedience to the laws of life when we live the laws of love.
Stephen Covey
Image
It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.
