Habit 7: sharpen the saw

3) Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong. Your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass—it gives direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to tord.

4) Soul: study scriptures and other scared literature daily. In other words, feed your sprit because your sprit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul—sharping activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a dairy or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

1.       Body. Eat wholesome foods fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, Tabaco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to be early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

2.       Mind. Think positively. Read study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

Habit 6: synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn't have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to dropbox is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and father you’ll go, synergy doesn't just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, its all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. Not instrument is more important than another, just different.

Habit 5

5. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood

Because most of the people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustration in life is that many don’t fell understood. This habit ill ensure your teens learns the most important communication skill there is: active listing.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are-a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent).

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as well we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than we talk. Learn to listen to learn.

Listen, really listen for understanding. Seek first to understand then to be understood-listen.

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Win-Win always creates more. Pherhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-lose and lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think.  Win-Win or no deal.

Habit 2: begin with the end in mind

If teen’s aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values goals, and what they stand for, they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road, map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive honestly and with integrity-that you earned it with perfect honesty.

                   Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand they are responsible for their happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment their responsibilities, their obligations choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision.
