• Even though your heart gets broken, it is better to love and be vulnerable, to share your feelings, say "I love you," and give appreciation-even to people who don't appreciate being appreciated.
• Believe in your dreams. Believe that the dreams that were put in your heart were put there by God and it's part of your purpose to fulfill them, and in doing that, you serve others. By having a loving relationship, you serve others by modeling that relationship. It's not selfish to love yourself. To care about others, to be involved in making a difference, in serving others. When you contribute, you feel better about yourself.
• We have a culture that seems to think if you can't solve a problem in 30 minutes-about how long a TV show lasts-give up. I think most people don't push through the hard times, they throw in the towel too early. ?
There is a God. He's behind you, believes in you, cares about you. He wouldn't have created you, then left you alone. Just tune in, meditate, pray, ask for guidance, and give back through tithing and making a difference and reaching out in love.
Special Wisdom of Stephen Covey
To do well you must do good, and to do good you must first be good. -STEPHEN COVEY
His seven habits of highly effective people, briefly, are these:
1. Be proactive. Take the initiative and be responsible.
2. Begin with the end in mind. Start any endeavor-a meeting, a day at the office, your adult life-with a mental image of an outcome conforming to values you cherish.
3. Put first things first. Discipline yourself to subordinate feelings, impulses, and moods to your values.
4. Think win-win. Seek mutual benefit.
5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Listen with the intent to empathize, not with the intent to reply.
6. Synergize. Value the differences. Create wholes that are greater than the sum of their parts.
7. Sharpen the saw. Take time to cultivate the four essential dimensions of your character: physical, mental, social/emotional, and spiritual.
Here are some more of Covey's profound statements:
• Private victories precede public victories.
• More important than being successful is being significant. Significance means making a contribution to others.
