Stephen R. Covey
True success requires abandoning superficial behavioral hacks in favor of a principle-centered, inside-out approach to personal and interpersonal growth.
Being proactive means recognizing your inherent ability to choose your responses and focusing your energy solely on the things you can actually control.
Beginning with the end in mind requires you to draft a personal mission statement that defines your ultimate destination and core values before taking action.
Putting first things first allows you to prioritize important but non-urgent tasks that build long-term capacity rather than simply reacting to immediate crises.
