The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R. Covey) / quote 178 of 203

Writing a mission statement changes you

As you do, other people begin to sense that you’re not being driven by everything that happens to you. You have a sense of mission about what you’re trying to do and you are excited about it.
