Daily Reflections for Highly Effective People

"If you adopt a pattern of life that focuses on golden eggs and neglects the goose, you will soon be without the asset that produces golden eggs.

On the other hand, if you only take care of the goose with no aim toward the golden eggs, you soon won't have the wherewithal to feed yourself or the goose"

 

It's always a constant challenge to be so consistent with our principles, just based on being conscience of all your principals all the time. It's great to acknowledge growth though.

"Our unique human endowments lift us above the animal world. The extent to which we exercise and develop these endowments empowers us to fulfill our uniquely human potential."

 

'Between stimulus and response is our greatest power, the freedom to choose'

 

"because we are, by nature, proactive, if our live are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by conscious decision or by default, chosen to empower those things to control us."

 

Be proactive, don't be reactive.

Being reactive is slavery. Know your worth and value your worth by being proactive and change what you want to change. Do it now!

 

"True independence of character empowers us to act rather than to be acted upon. It frees us from our dependence on circumstances and other people and is a worthy, liberating goal."

 

The secret to success is consistency, if you stop you won't move, if you never stop you'll always keep moving, gaining momentum.

Don't stop.

 

"YOU ARE NOT YOUR HABITS. You can replace old 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.

 

"The Abundance Mentality flows out of a deeper inner sense of personal worth and security. It is the paradigm that there is plenty out there, and enough to spare for everybody. It results in sharing of prestige, of recognition, of profits, of decision making. It opens possibilities, options, alternatives, and creativity."

 

Love the feeling, is a fruit of love, the verb.

Reactive people make it a feeling. Hollywood has generally scripted us to believe that we are not responsible, that we are a product of our feelings. But the Hollywood script doesn't describe the reality. If our feelings controlled our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so.

 

It's back, and It's not going anywhere.

"On a ten point scale, if i am at level 2 in any field of skill, and have a desire to move to level 5, i can't move straight there. I have to move toward and conquer step three.

A thousand mile trip starts with the first step, and it can only be made one step at a time"

You must take it one step at a time! Get educated as much as possible.

 

No problems PRTe, probably the most relevant one thus far to everyone on here as you said. We must all adapt and change to beat out plight, without these changes in behavior, these changes in scripts, we will be doomed to forever repeat the past.

"The way we see the problem, is the problem"

 

"People can't live with change if there isn't a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about, and what you value."

 

I only have access to one book, is there another i should read?
