Top Changing Your Behavior Quotes

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By William Faulkner

Listen: it's got to be all honeymoon, always.
Either heaven, or hell:
no comfortable safe peaceful purgatory between
for you and me to wait in until good behavior or forbearance
or shame or repentance overtakes us. — William Faulkner

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Pete Cashmore

We have this revolution that's happening in our lifetime. The Information Revolution is changing absolutely every industry and every part of life and society and behavior. — Pete Cashmore

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Charles Duhigg

At some point, if you're changing a really deep-seated behavior, you're going to have a moment of weakness. — Charles Duhigg

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.
The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature. — Ezra Taft Benson

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Alan E. Kazdin

When I explain to parents that the research shows clearly that a one-minute time-out is sufficient for changing behavior and that we gain nothing but problems with much longer durations, — Alan E. Kazdin

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By B.F. Skinner

The ideal of behaviorism is to eliminate coercion: to apply controls by changing the environment in such a way as to reinforce the kind of behavior that benefits everyone. — B.F. Skinner

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By John C. Maxwell

As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behavior. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behavior. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works. — John C. Maxwell

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Nick Saban

Discipline is not punishment. Discipline is changing someone's behavior. — Nick Saban

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Malcolm Gladwell

Most psychologists believe that nature - genetics - accounts for about half of the reason why we tend to act the way we do. His point is simply that there are certain times and places and conditions when much of that can be swept away, that there are instances where you can take normal people from good schools and happy families and good neighborhoods and powerfully affect their behavior merely by changing the immediate details of their situation. This — Malcolm Gladwell

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Price Pritchett

The question is, when so many others cut corners, shave the truth, self-deal, believe in the fast buck, and follow the crowd along the low road of least resistance, can we even afford to travel the high road of ethical behavior? Frankly, we can't afford anything else. Any other competitive angle is a pure crapshoot in today's business world. Companies with shaky ethics and shabby standards will be crippled as they try to compete in our changing world. — Price Pritchett

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Carl Sagan

The time scale for evolutionary or genetic change is very long. A characteristic period for the emergence of one advanced species from another is perhaps a hundred thousand years; and very often the difference in behavior between closely related species -say, lions and tigers- do not seem very great... But today we do not have ten million years to wait for the next advance. We live in a time when our world is changing at an unprecedented rate. While the changes are largely of our own making, they cannot be ignored. We must adjust and adapt and control, or we perish. — Carl Sagan

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Graham Cooke

You don't become a new person by changing your behavior; you discover who you are in Christ and your behavior changes accordingly — Graham Cooke

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Sheena Iyengar

Changing our behavior purely for the sake of appearances may seem to conflict with the need to be authentic and consistent, but in many ways it is actually a result of those needs. After all, resolving the tension between standing out from the crowd and becoming isolated requires finding our niche in the world. But what would happen if we weren't accepted in the place where we felt we belonged? For others to see us as a "poseur" or as "delusional" would be painful. Even worse, what if they were right? The social consequences and self-doubt that follow when our self-perceptions conflict with how others see us can be just as destabilizing to our identity as conflicts between our own self-perceptions and actions. — Sheena Iyengar

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Cindy Vine

Gandhi once said, you are the change you want to see in the world. But I have to ask, how do you bring about the change in you? Because it stands to reason, first you have to change before you can change the world. Your beliefs have to change, because your beliefs influence your behavior and your daily interactions with others. Changing oneself is not easy. First, you have to admit that there are parts of you which need changing. Many of us do not want to admit that we are less than perfect, that we might have facets of our personality which needs change. Change is hard, so most of us give up before we start. But if things aren't right in our lives, we need to look at what part of us we can change to make it right. — Cindy Vine

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Sasha Issenberg

Maybe what stopped people from voting wasn't a lack of information about the candidates or a feeling that the outcomes of races didn't matter or a sense that a trip to the polls was inconvenient. What if voting wasn't only a political act, but a social one that took place in a liminal space between the public and private that had never been well-defined to citizens? What if toying with those expectations was key to turning a person into a voter? What if elections were simply less about shaping people's opinions than changing their behaviors? — Sasha Issenberg

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Louis Tice

Less fear; more hope: just four little four-letter words, but when they are vividly felt as emotion, they are behavior changing, life changing, world-changing. — Louis Tice

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Billy Graham

We have changed our moral code to fit our behavior instead of changing our behavior to harmonize with God's moral code. — Billy Graham

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Larry Bossidy

The foundation of changing behavior is linking rewards to performance and making the linkages transparent. — Larry Bossidy

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Ruben Ostlund

Why I'm interested in filmmaking is because a moving image is very, very powerful when it comes to changing human behavior. — Ruben Ostlund

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Hannah Arendt

every thought that deviates from the officially prescribed and permanently changing line is already suspect, no matter in which field of human activity it occurs. Simply because of their capacity to think, human beings are suspects by definition, and this suspicion cannot be diverted by exemplary behavior, for the human capacity to think is also a capacity to change one's mind. — Hannah Arendt

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By William B. Stewart

Being healthy means a wholeness in the living of one's life -- a dynamic and constantly changing balance that acknowledges the soundness of our physical state, the wholesomeness of lifestyle, the values that define our behavior, our intimate and collective relationships, the meaning and purpose of our work in the world, and the spiritual dimension of our existence. --William B. Stewart — William B. Stewart

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Yongey Mingyur

The essence of Buddhist practice is not so much an effort at changing your thoughts or your behavior so that you can become a better person, but in realizing that no matter what you might think about the circumstances that define your life, you're already good, whole, and complete. It's about recognizing the inherent potential of your mind. In other words, Buddhism is not so much concerned with getting well as with recognizing that you are, right here, right now, as whole, as good, as essentially well as you could ever hope to be. — Yongey Mingyur

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Hunter King

One bully changing their behavior for the better can have a profound effect on many, many lives. — Hunter King

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Andy Stanley

Victims don't want to be proactive about changing - they want to be proactive about making sure that the person who hurt them pays. And so we spend our energy telling our sad stories rather than taking responsibility for our behavior. Thus we open the door of our hearts and welcome in the Trojan horse of bitterness. And it stands there, a monument, a constant reminder of a debt someone has yet to pay. Somebody owes us. — Andy Stanley

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Keith Ferrazzi

Organizations can't change their culture unless individual employees change their behavior - and changing behavior is hard. — Keith Ferrazzi

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Stephen Jay Gould

Darwinian natural selection only yields adaptation to changing local environments, and better function in an immediate habitat might just as well be achieved by greater simplicity in form and behavior as by ever-increasing complexity. — Stephen Jay Gould

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Hilary Flower

Overall, your want to present yourself to your child as an ally, empathetic to his feelings, and responsive to his needs - even when your needs are conflicting. If your goal is to enlist your child's cooperation in changing his behavior, find ways to be as aligned with his emotionally as possible. By earning your child's trust, you are much more likely to reach him with your point of view than if you approach him in opposition. — Hilary Flower

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By A.S.A Harrison

In asserting that people don't change, what she means is that they don't change for the better. Whereas changing for the worse, that goes without saying. — A.S.A Harrison

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By David Hoffmeister

Turning something over to the Holy Spirit is a leap of faith that lets go of attempting to control outcomes. The core of alcoholism, anorexia, bulimia, smoking and a host of things the world calls addictions is control. The little willingness the Holy Spirit asks is the key to letting go of the attempt to manage the body and the world, which is the insane attempt to maintain a self-concept image that God did not create. An idea to contemplate from the Course is this: "Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world." The requirement is to change your thinking, not to focus on behavior and form. Behavior flows from thought, and transformation of the mind is synonymous with changing thought patterns from ego-based to Spirit-based. — David Hoffmeister

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Jurgen Appelo

The hardest part of continuous improvement in organizations is changing the behavior of other people. — Jurgen Appelo

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Jose Ferreira

Anyone who sincerely wanted to use policy to reduce illegal immigration should start by crafting legislation based on changing actual behavior. — Jose Ferreira

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By David Bohm

We are all linked by a fabric of unseen connections. This fabric is constantly changing and evolving. This field is directly structured and influenced by our behavior and by our understanding. — David Bohm

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Marc Morial

Money is not our primary aim. Changing the behavior and the practice of the gun industry is. — Marc Morial

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Eknath Easwaran

As meditation deepens, compulsions, cravings, and fits of emotions begin to lose their power to dictate our behavior. We see clearly that choices are possible: we can say yes, or we can say no.
... "All we are is the result of what we have thought." By changing our mode of thinking, we can remake ourselves completely. — Eknath Easwaran

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Geraldine Lee Wei Ling

I knew I could not live my life around a husband, now would I want a husband to live his life around me. Of course, there are any number of variations in marital relationships between those extremes. But there is always a need for spouses to change their behaviors or habits to suit each other. I have always been set in my ways and did not fancy changing my behavior or lifestyle. — Geraldine Lee Wei Ling

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Marjorie Spiegel

It seems that the desire to oppress others is so ingrained in many humans that they readily distort even a liberating theory or concept into its inverse, creating another wall of defense against positive change. Ultimately, an unbiased observer of human behavior must conclude that most action is not shaped by theory, but rather theories are shaped to conform to actions we have no intention of changing. — Marjorie Spiegel

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Anthony Kiedis

There wasn't any single moment of bedazzling revelation, it was more of an education process. The more I learned about the nature of addiction, the more I was willing to look at my own behavior and history. And the more I was able to help the people I was in there with, the more it all made sense. A lot of this process came through witnessing the sickness of these people I was in rehab with, for me to see these people and care about them, and to know how slim their chances were of ever changing the demonic possession they had been living with. I realized this was not the jail I wanted to live my life in. — Anthony Kiedis

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Jon Katzenbach

Start with changing behaviors, not mindsets. It is much easier to 'act your way into new thinking' than to 'think your way into new actions.' Recurring and consistent performance results from behavior change will lead to lasting changes in the way people feel, think, and believe in the long run. — Jon Katzenbach

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Tracey Garvis-Graves

T.J. seemed older than seventeen. Reserved almost. Maybe facing serious health problems eliminated some of the immature behavior that presented itself when you had nothing more to worry about than getting your driver's license, cutting class, or breaking curfew. — Tracey Garvis-Graves

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Bob Nelson

It is always easier - and usually far more effective - to focus on changing your behavior than on changing the behavior of others. — Bob Nelson

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Barry Schwartz

Years of research in psychology has shown that rewards and punishments can be very effective in changing behavior. But, at the same time, they can create an addiction to rewards and punishments. — Barry Schwartz

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Terrence Real

...changing one's own behavior is a much more promising strategy than insisting on change from the other. — Terrence Real

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Henry Cloud

Page 142: "When a spouse says to the alcoholic, "you need to go to AA," that is obviously not true. The addict feels no need to do that at all, and isn't. But when she says, "I am moving out and will be open to getting back together when you are getting treatment for your addiction," then all of a sudden the addict feels "I need to get some help or I am going to lose my marriage." The need has been transferred. It is the same with any kind of problematic behavior of a person who is not taking feedback and ownership. The need and drive to do something about it must be transferred to that person, and that is done through having consequences that finally make him feel the pain instead of others. When he feels the pain, he will feel the need to change ... A plan that has hope is one that limits your exposure to the foolish person's issues and forces him to feel the consequences of his performance so that he might have hope of waking up and changing. — Henry Cloud

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Fethullah Gulen

Islam's basic principles of belief, worship, morality, and behavior are not affected by changing times. Islam does not propose a certain unchangeable form of government or attempt to shape it. Islam has never offered nor established a theocracy in its name. Instead, Islam establishes fundamental principles that orient a government's general character. — Fethullah Gulen

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Marshall Goldsmith

After living with their dysfunctional behavior for so many years, people become invested in defending their dysfunctions rather than changing them. — Marshall Goldsmith

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Naomi Klein

The theory of economic shock therapy relies in part on the roleof expectations on feeding an inflationary process. Reining in inflation requires not only changing monetary policy but also changing the behavior of consumers, employers and workers. The role of a sudden, jarring policy shift is that it quickly alters expectations, signaling to the public that the rules of the game have changed dramatically - prices will not keep rising, nor will wages. — Naomi Klein

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By John P. Kotter

Changing behavior is less a matter of giving people analysis to influence their thoughts than helping them to see a truth to influence their feelings. — John P. Kotter

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By James Balog

Each of us can and must shift our behavior according to our ability. For some, that means changing diet, shopping locally, or putting solar panels on their house. For others, it means using their voice to inspire transformative change. — James Balog

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Georgia Byng

Now, we all have stories of how we got here, and prob-probably some of you feel angry who whoever it is who's left you here. But you must try and remember that they were like that because that's how they were taught to be. You m-must try to forgive them. Baby cuckoos can't unlearn their bad habits. But we should try to, and because what you learn as a ch-child you will pass on to people around you, from now on this house is going to be a house of happiness. From this evening on every single one of us is going to consider other people's feelings. — Georgia Byng

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Deepak Chopra

The normal experience of the body and its aging is a conditioned response (a habit of thinking and behavior). By changing your habits of thinking and behavior, you can change the experience of your body and its aging — Deepak Chopra

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Albert Speer

Hitler had a great gift for adjusting - consciously or intuitively - to his surroundings ... With enormous histrionic intuition he could shape his behavior to changing situations. — Albert Speer

Changing Your Behavior Quotes By Siobhan Davis

I lie awake in bed until way past midnight, fervently hoping Ky is going make an appearance at any moment to explain his behavior. But as the clock chimes two, I have no choice but to face facts.
He isn't coming.
And it feels ominous.
Like the winds are changing, and destiny is altering.
His absence is more than telling.
It has a finality to it that scares me half to death. — Siobhan Davis
