Internal Victories Precede External Victories.

If You Organize Your Family Life To Spend Even Ten Or Fifteen Minutes A Morning Reading Something That Connects You With These Timeless Principles, Its Almost Guaranteed That You Will Make Better Choices During The Day--in The Family, On The Job, In Every Dimension Of Life. Your Thoughts Will Be Higher. Your Interactions Will Be More Satisfying. You Will Have A Greater Perspective. You Will Increase That Space Between What Happens To You And Your Response To It. You Will Be More Connected To What Really Matters Most.

The Ability To Subordinate An Impulse To A Value Is The Essence Of The Proactive Person.

Being Proactive Is More Than Taking Initiative. It Is Recognizing That We Are Responsible For Our Own Choices And Have The Freedom To Choose Based On Principles And Values Rather Than On Moods Or Condition. Proactive People Are Agents Of Change And Choose Not To Be Victims, To Be Reactive, Or To Blame Others.

A Long, Healthy, And Happy Life Is The Result Of Making Contributions, Of Having Meaningful Projects That Are Personally Exciting And Contribute To And Bless The Lives Of Others.

You Are Dependent If You Allow The Weaknesses Of Other People To Ruin Your Emotional Life!
