“When we constantly worry and re-examine the past in order to discover what's wrong with the present, we reinforce the same thought process that will create exactly what we are trying to escape.”
Dr. Robert Anthony

Stephen R. Covey
“Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn into the world... Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feeling to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured.”
Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

“Have you ever been in a room with many unhappy people? How did it feel in there? Now imagine what billions of unhappy people are doing to the planet. Unfortunately, we have become so accustomed to this energy that we don't even notice it anymore. It's as thick as molasses everywhere with the exception of a few pockets of joy now and then.”
Dr. Robert Anthony

“I have come to understand that when we enter this world, we all do so with two wings. One is the Wing of Infinite Power. This is your connection with the Universe, and whether you know it or not, that wing is flapping by your side supporting you twenty-four hours a day 365 days a year from now to eternity. The other wing is that which you have consciously activated. This is the Wing of Self-Action. This wing has to fly equally as hard as the Wing of Infinite Power. When it does, you will have flight into the world of unlimited possibilities where anything and everything is possible for you. Then and only then will you understand how truly powerful you are and that you have all it takes within you to create what you desire.”
Dr. Robert Anthony

Stephen R. Covey
“The language of reactive people absolves them of responsibility.

Reactive vs. Proactive Voice

"There's nothing I can do" vs. "Let's look at our alternatives"
"That's just the way I am" vs. "I can choose a different approach"
"He makes me so mad" vs. "I control my own feelings"
"They won't allow that" vs. "I can create an effective presentation"
"I have to do that" vs. "I will choose an appropriate response"
"I can't" vs. "I choose"
"I must" vs. "I prefer"
"If only" vs. "I will”
