Quote of the Month

Highly Proactive People recognize their "response-ability" -- the ability to choose their response.

They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior.  Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.

- Stephen Covey
