Sean Covey Quotes

One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem.

While you're in the moment of anything that's confusing in your life, you're in the moment, and you have to figure it out. You can go up or down. And I just kept working on the higher road, and trying. I got very involved with medication.

We all go through sad times, but I was brought up to be positive.

There's a way of dealing with hardships that are healthier than going out. That's what I've learned.

In life, you're going to have a lot of problems. Everybody's got problems. Some is worse than others. Some is sickness. Some, like me, you've got problems that you don't like that come up. But you've got to handle them.

Always take a good look at your problems as they are going to be with you for a long time.

That's what I'm attracted to: how people face struggle - with humor - and how they handle tough situations in their lives and in conversations.

Some people just don't have the tools to deal with the stuff life throws at them.

When life is going to present you with tons of problems - really hard ones, some less hard, some debilitating - it's what you do about them that matters.

It's good to think about real life, no? Because real life isn't just dreams and happiness.

The ability to find solutions to life's challenges is what makes us grow as a person.

The best advice I can give to anyone going through a rough patch is to never be afraid to ask for help.

The key to happiness - as any good fairy godmother will tell you - is not to avoid problems, but to overcome them.

I have wondered why is it that some people are less affected and torn by the verities of life and death that others.

Some people give their problems swimming lessons instead of drowning them.

One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you’ve got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference.

Do not try to fix whatever comes in your life. Fix yourself in such a way that whatever comes, you will be fine.

Watch yourself as you go about your daily business and later reflect on what you saw, trying to identify the sources of distress in your life and thinking about how to avoid that distress.

Help other people to cope with their problems, and your own will be easier to cope with.

Life gives no one immunity against adversity, but life gives to everyone the power of positive thought which is sufficient to master all circumstances of adversity and convert them into benefits.

In real life, people in the most dire situations must cope through humor.

It seems nobody really talks about what we do with our emotional pain. Only the ascendant perhaps, who have learned how to fully meditate or do yoga or whatever through their emotional pain.
