All Decision-making Is A Values-clarifying Exercise.

If You Don't Make A Conscious Effort To Control Your Focus-and Decide In Advance Which Things You're Going To Focus On-you'll Be So Pulled By The Demands Of The World That You Will Soon Find Yourself Living In Reaction Rather Than Living A Life Plan You've Designed For Yourself.

In Essence, If We Want To Direct Our Lives, We Must Take Control Of Our Consistent Actions. It's Not What We Do Once In A While That Shapes Our Lives, But What We Do Consistently.

It's Not The Events That Shape My Life That Determine How I Feel And Act, But, Rather, It's The Way I Interpret And Evaluate My Life Experiences.

Simply By Changing Your Habitual Vocabulary, You Can Instantaneously Change How You Think, How You Feel, And How You Live.
