Points to Ponder From “Daily Reflections For Highly Effective People” By Stephen Covey
Our character – basically – is a composite of our habits — Because they are consistent – often unconscious patterns – they consistently – daily – express our character and produce our effectiveness ……………. or ineffectiveness — p. 46
It becomes obvious that if we want to make relatively minor changes in our lives — we can perhaps appropriately focus on our attitudes and behaviors — But if we want to make significant — quantum change – we need to work on our basic paradigms — p. 31
Change — REAL CHANGE — comes from the inside out — It doesn’t come from hacking at the leaves of attitude and behavior with quick fix personality ethic techniques — it comes from striking at the root — the fabric of our thought – the fundamental – essential paradigms – which give definition to our character and create the lens through which we see the world — p. 317
You can decide within yourself how circumstances will affect you — Between what happens to you or the stimulus – and your response to it — is your FREEDOM or POWER to CHOOSE that response — p. 69
The word proactive means more than merely taking initiative — It means that as human beings – we are responsible for our own lives — Our behavior is a function of our decisions – not our conditions — We can subordinate feelings to values — We have the initiative and the responsibility to make things happen — p. 71
If you’re proactive — you don’t have to wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences — You can consciously create your own — p. 131
