Mr. Covey has some
very clear messages Liberals should try to understand. We are all responsible
for our actions!!!
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the
proactive person. Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances,
by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values - carefully
thought about, selected and internalized values.
It is our willing permission, our consent to what happens to us, that
hurts us far more than what happens to us in the first place.
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 feelings to values.
