The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R. Covey) / quote 111 of 203
The circle of influence is filled with be's
The Circle of Influence is filled with the be’s—I can be more patient, be wise, be loving. It’s the character focus. Anytime we think the problem is “out there,” that thought is the problem. We empower what’s out there to control us. The change paradigm is “outside-in”—what’s out there has to change before we can change.
