Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
More Quotes from Stephen R. Covey:
In addition to self-awareness, imagination and conscience, it is the fourth human endowment-independent will-that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developed through the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how to use this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.Stephen R. Covey
