Habits have a tremendous gravity pull

Lift off takes a lot of effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension

Ready for take off ?

Habit 1:
Be proactive
You are respons-able: able to choose your respons!

Circle of Concern
We have a wide range of concerns, but not all of them fall into our circle of influence

Circle of influence

Proactive people focus their efforts in their circle of influence, causing the circle of influence to increase

Reactive people focus their effort in the circle of concern. The negative energy generated by that focus causes the circle of influence to shrink

Anytime we think the problem is out there,


that thought is the problem

You can choose your language

Reactive:
I must If only They made me If I had

Proactive: I prefer I will I choose

I can be

Habit 2:
Begin with the end in mind

The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value

Habit 3:

Put first things first

The key to time management is not to prioritize whats on your schedule but to schedule your priorities

Its almost impossible to say NO to the popularity of urgent, non important matters, if you dont have a bigger YES burning inside

Things which matter most should never be at the mercy of things which matter least

Goethe

Habit 4: Think Win/win

You can only achieve win/win solutions with win/win processes

Its not your way or my way, its a better way

Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood

We have such a tendency to fix things up with good advice, but often we fail to take the time to diagnose, to really deeply understand another human being first

Reading your own autobiography into other peoples lives is nt (even close to) listening

Habit 6:

Synergize

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

When we are left to our own experiences, we constantly suffer from a shortage of data

The person who is truly effective has the humility to recognize his own perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction with the hearts and minds of other human beings

In order to have influence, you have to open yourself up to b influenced

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Read, write, relax, exercise, play, love, get involved, meditate

Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things I am tempted to think there are no little things
