- You do not control the results in your life.

- You do not control the reactions of other people to you.

- You do not control the state of your health.

- You do not control the amount of money earned.

- All this is done by principles.

<strong>The principles control everything</strong>

>Stephen Covey said: "We control our actions, but the consequences that result from these actions are controlled by the principles."

In his book <em>"7 Habits of Highly Effective People"</em> Stephen Covey defines the principle as "a natural law like gravity. It is different from value. Values are subjective; principles are objective. Gravity ... if you drop something, gravity will control the process of falling. "

As a rule, you do not immediately experience the consequences of your actions. If you smoke one cigarette, you will not get cancer. <strong>If you spend $ 10 on coffee every day, it will not shake your financial stability. However, in the long run these habits can have serious consequences.</strong>

Obesity, debts, identity crisis, destroyed marriages. <strong> These things are governed by principles, and also are conditioned by daily decisions and erroneous assumptions.</strong>

What was once small will inevitably become big.

<em>Consistency and consistency are the key;</em>

Thus, if you do not continue to improve or maintain the current state, you will inevitably degrade.
