How Dr. Covey have impacted my life

After attending the 7 habits workshop, one obvious concept of‘ Be Proactive’ is creating a huge impact in my life. The voice of Dr. Covey have echoed in my memory ever since“ Between what happen to us( the stimulus) and our response, there is a space! In that space lies our power and freedom to choose our response”.
I found that the principle shifts the power back to ourselves. It is really powerful and enable us to take back the control of our emotional life. Before, my mood and emotion is quite fluctuate and keep swing throughout the day( which later I learned that I am the one who allow the stimulus to have the influence in my life). Now, I am more conscious and enjoy practicing to find‘ the space’ from any stimulus versus my response!
Though Dr. Covey’ s body is no longer be with us but I’ m sure that his great work, with principle based, will be imprinted in people’ s heart and will continue to have a tremendous impact on people’ s life forever.
