Stand apart from your dreams. Look at them. Wrestle with them until you're convinced they're based on principles that will bring results. Then use your creative imagination to explore new applications, new ways of doing things that have the principle-based power to translate dreaming into doing.

Consider: What difference would a clear vision of my principles, values, and ultimate objectives make in the way I spend my time?

We need to move beyond time management to life leadership

Unless we learn from living, how are we going to keep from doing the same things- making the same mistakes, struggling with the same problems- week after week?

We often get into ruts, on treadmills, caught up in patterns and habits that aren't useful. We don't stop to ask, what can I learn from this week that will keep next week from essentially being a repeat of the same?

We're constantly making choices about the way we spend our time, from major seasons to the individual moments in our lives. We're also living with the consequences of those choices

Independent will is our capacity to act. It gives us the power to transcend our paradigms, to swim upstream, to rewrite our scripts, to act based on principle rather than reacting based on emotion or circumstance.

Until a person can say deeply and honestly, I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday, that person cannot say, I choose otherwise.

It doesn't matter where you're coming from? all that matters is where you aregoing. You can't talk your way out of problems you behave yourself into.
