I just saw this quote in a newsletter I get:
“Sow a thought,” Stephen Covey writes in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, “reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.”
Any thoughts?
Hi Tom,
Seems like a good thought to me!
By the way, here's a trick I've been using lately...
Let's say you want to figure out what you should do right now, this instant. Imagine that the exact situation you're in right now is happening, all the problems you're facing, all the opportunities, all the stresses - but one month in the future.
If this was happening one month in the future, what should you do in that situation?
This trick "distances" yourself from all your current feelings, emotions, etc., and I think you can make a more logical decision...
(Otherwise, your present decisions may not be logical!)
Well, that's what I'm doing nowadays, anyway...
Best wishes, :)
Dien
