The habits of highly effective people
Lift off takes a lot of effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension
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
Habit2: Begin with the end in mind
The key to the ability to changeis a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value
Habit3: Put first things first
The key to time management is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule but to schedule your priorities
It’s almost impossible to say NO to the popularity of urgent, non important matters, if you don’t have a bigger YES burning inside
“Things which matter most should never be at the mercy of things which matter least” Goethe
“You can only achieve win/win solutions with win/win processes”
Habit5: 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 people’s lives is nót (even close to) listening
Habit6: 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 bé 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” Bruce Barton
Be a Champion of Change with the 7 Habits Are you able to change important areas of your life? Are you just living day to day, or toward a hope? Do you prioritize your time and energy well? How often do you feel bullied by others? Do you understand others ... and vice versa? What are your unique talents? Are they important? Does your life often feel “out of balance”? What does “success” mean to you? (family, friends, community, hobby, career, faith) What is required to obtain that success?
Are you willing to change course? Two battleships assigned to the training squadron had been at sea on maneuvers in heavy weather for several days. I was serving on the lead battleship and was on watch on the bridge as night fell. The visibility was poor with patchy fog, so the captain remained on the bridge keeping an eye on all activities. Shortly after dark, the lookout on the wing of the bridge reported, “Light, bearing on the starboard bow.” “Is it steady or moving astern?” the captain called out. Lookout replied, “Steady, captain,” which meant we were on a dangerous collision course with that ship. The captain then called to the signalman, “Signal that ship: We are on a collision course, advise you to change course 20 degrees.” Back came a signal, “Advisable for you to change course 20 degrees.” The captain said, “Send, I’m a captain, change course 20 degrees.” “I’m a navy officer second class,” came the reply. “You had better change course 20 degrees.” By that time the captain was furious. He spat out, “Send, I’m a battleship. Change course 20 degrees.” Back came the flashing light, “I’m a lighthouse.” We changed course. Will you crash against the principles ... or change course?
