Effective Living

"Intrinsic security doesn't come from what other people think of us or how they treat us. It doesn't come from our circumstances or our position. It comes from within. It comes from accurate paradigms and correct principles deep in our mind and heart. It comes from inside-out congruence, from living a life of integrity in which our daily habits reflect our deepest values.

You are not your habits. You can replace old patterns of self-defeating behavior with new patterns, new habits of effectiveness, happiness and trust-based relationships. I encourage you to open the gate of change and growth.

True independance of character empowers us to act rather than be acted upon. It frees us from our dependence on circumtances and other people and is a worthy, liberating goal. But it is not the ultimate goal in effective living."

Stephen R Covey
