Stephen Covey (Stephen Richards Covey) Quotes
Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.Stephen Covey

But at times you have to make decisions that sometimes hurt others in order to live.
