Interdependency Follows Independence.

Effective People Do Two Things: They Strive To Do Excellent Work, And They Prioritize.

Most People Say Their Main Fault Is A Lack Of Discipline. On Deeper Thought, I Believe This Is Not The Case. The Basic Problem Is That Their Priorities Have Not Become Deeply Planted In Their Hearts And Minds.

We're Responsible For Our Own Lives.

Priority Is A Function Of Context.

If I Really Want To Improve My Situation, I Can Work On The One Thing Over Which I Have Control-myself. I Can Stop Trying To Shape Up My Wife And Can Work On My Own Weaknesses. I Can Focus An Being A Great Marriage Partner, A Source Of Unconditional Love And Support. Hopefully, My Wife Will Feel The Power Of Proactive Example And Respond In Kind. But, Whether She Does Or Doesn't, The Most Positive Way I Can Influence My Situation Is To Work On Myself, On My Being.
