Stephen Covey Quotes

I think perception is important.

Paradigms are like glasses. When you have incomplete paradigms about yourself or life in general, it's like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription. That lens affects how you see everything else.

Our perspectives on situations act like a lens through which we view the world.

You can only see what you believe—nothing else is possible.

Remember, we see the world not as it is but as we are. Most of us see through the eyes of our fears and our limiting beliefs and our false assumptions.

My perspective will create my perception

There are some oddities in the perspective with which we see the world.

Things don't change. You change your way of looking, that's all

We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.

Our understanding is correlative to our perception.

You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.

We see the world not as it is, but as we are.

What a man sees depends on what he looks at and what his previous experience has taught him to see.

The way you see things depends a great deal on where you look at them from.

We must look at the lens through we see the world, as well as the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.

There's nothing wrong with the world. What's wrong is our way of looking at it.

The only way to be happy is to realise how much depends on how you look at things

It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

Life can show up no other way than that way in which you perceive it.

We all see only that which we are trained to see.

Each of us literally chooses, by his way of attending to things, what sort of universe he shall appear to himself to inhabit.

When once your point of view is changed, the very thing which was so damning becomes a clue to the truth.

We cannot alter facts, but we can alter our ways of looking at them.

Perception is reality.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
