“I believe that a life of integrity is the most fundamental source of personal worth. I do not agree with the popular success literature that says that self-esteem is primarily a matter of mind set, of attitude—that you can psych yourself into peace of mind. Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.”
~ Stephen R. Covey from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
There’s a reason The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was named the #1 Most Influential Business Book of the Twentieth Century and over 15 million (!!!) copies have been sold: It’s a powerful book.
In this Note, we’re going to take a quick look at each of the 7 Habits and help you make a “paradigm” shift into living your greatest life. Let’s start by recognizing the fact that, as Covey advises, “Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus.” PRIVATE victory comes BEFORE public victory.
