In Habit 2, Stephen challenges us to envision our own funeral, and consider, "What would you like each of the speakers to say about you and your life?… What character would you like them to have seen in you? What contributions, what achievements would you want them to remember?

Dr. Frankl hypothesized that we have three parts to our nature: our body, our mind, and our spirit. But his deepest conviction is that most—not all—diseases originate in the spirit. That is, in a sense of meaninglessness, a sense of hollowness, a sense of purposelessness. No mission. No vision. No future.

First, take responsibility for your life; and second, take initiative. It's that simple. Be an agent, not a victim. Don't wait for life to happen to you; happen to it. Be the driver of your life, not just a passenger. Live out of your imagination, not your past.

God's love causes the beauty of what He loves, our love is caused by the beauty of what we love.

It is only to the individual that a soul is given.

There's a beauty on the inside of you - and it shows on the outside too.

Love yourself for who you are. You are beautiful inside and out, and nobody can take that away from you.

To love yourself as you are is a miracle, and to seek yourself is to have found yourself for now. And now is all we have, and love is who we are.

I was lucky - I found what I love to do early in life.

Of all that Heaven produces and nourishes, there is none so great as man.

...God's love is so real that He created you to prove it.

Love yourself - Do it now! Don't wait until you get well or lose the weight, or get the new job, or the new relationship.
