what we believe about ourselves and our purpose has a powerful impact on how we live, how we love, and what we learn. - Stephen Covey

We can't live without eating, but we don't live to eat.

If you organize your family life to spend even ten or fifteen minutes a morning reading something that connects you with these timeless principles, its almost guaranteed that you will make better choices during the day — in the family, on the job, in every dimension of life. Your thoughts will be higher. Your interactions will be more satisfying. You will have a greater perspective. You will increase that space between what happens to you and your response to it. You will be more connected to what really matters most.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.
