Behavior before feeLinGs*

"The problem with people is that they think if they feel better they will act better. You can't feel your way to better behavior, YOU BEHAVE YOUR WAY TO BETTER FEELINGS. If you want to feel better about others, you have to treat them nice first. If you want to feel better about school, you have to do the work first. If you don't do the work, even if someone helps you feel better for a short time, tomorrow you're going to do the same thing and you're going to feel bad all over again." 

You must behave your way to success, not wait for success to teach you how to behave.
You must be a good partner to have a good relationship, not wait to feel like you have a good relationship to behave like a good partner.
You must be good at your job and put in the time to feel satisfied with your job, not wait for your job to treat you well before you work hard.
Once you embrace this, your life will change in ways you never imagined.*
