  11. HABIT 1 (Cont.) • Lord, grant me the serenity • To accept the things I cannot change • The courage to change the things I can • And the wisdom to know the difference

  12. HABIT 2 • BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND • What is the centre of my life – spouse, family, possessions, work, money, church, sport, friends, etc • Do these centres give me a sense of self-worth all the time • Do I frequently put aside family, etc, assuming that everyone will understand that earning money comes first

  13. HABIT 2 (Cont.) • At the end of my life, what do I want to have accomplished • Write a personal mission statement

  15. HABIT 2 (Cont.) • We need to identify our values and goals – if you don’t know where you are going, you cannot make informed decisions • Identify the different roles in your life and write one or two goals for each role • What do you want from life • What do you value • What are your gifts and talents

  16. HABIT 2 (Cont.) • Work on your goals each day • Accept that you cannot achieve your goals in every role every day or every week • Prioritise • Be the change that you want • Be the leader that you want

  17. HABIT 3 • PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST • Having decided what is important in my life, I make sure that those people and things are not sidelined by what seems urgent, or by other people’s agendas • We reap what we sow • Cannot sow potatoes and reap tomatoes • There are things that are urgent, but not important

  18. HABIT 3 (Cont.) • Some things are important but not urgent • That is why goals are important to help us identify what is important in our lives • Important things are those that contribute to our mission, our values, our goals • They require us to be pro-active, to plan ahead and be ready to seize opportunities • Through doing them consistently we will produce desired results

  19. HABIT 3 (Cont.) • If we keep doing what we are doing, we will keep getting what we are getting • Effective personal management means • Dealing with things that are important but not urgent • Eg, building relationships, writing a personal mission statement, doing long term planning, sharpening the saw (reading, going to gym, etc) • Long term maintenance • These are all things that we know we need to do, but seldom get around to doing, because they are not urgent

  20. HABIT 4 • THINK WIN WIN • I learn to cooperate with others in a way that builds trust, ensures our mutual benefit, success and effectiveness, and allows everyone to be a winner • What makes us not to acknowledge the potential in others and affirm their unique gifts? • What makes us not to affirm others unique gifts, encourage their individual potential and to want the best for them? • What makes us not be able to love unconditionally?

  21. HABIT 4 (Cont.) • Is it an insecurity in ourselves which prevents us from cooperating with others, from being prepared to combine our talents and share the credit for the greater benefit of all? • Win win is a way of thinking that regards relationships as more important than issues • Most of life is not a competition • We don’t have to live each day competing with our spouse, our children, our colleagues, our neighbours or our friends

  22. HABIT 4 (Cont.) • “Who is winning in your marriage” is a ridiculous question • If both people in a relationship are not winning, then both are losing • As a pro active person, you can choose your responses and rise above your win/lose conditioning • Consider ongoing relationships and the building of trust as more important than issues • Stay in communication and seek a better way, a more generous way • Replace meanness with generosity of spirit

  23. HABIT 5 • SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD • I learn to listen, with genuine intent to understand what matters to the other person, before expecting him or her to listen to me

  24. HABIT 5 (Cont.) • When we are truly interested in what another person is saying, 3 important things happen • We give them a sense of self-worth • Trust is built up • We can decide what to do on the basis of knowledge rather than assumption or ignorance

  26. Habit 5 (Cont.) • Seek first to understand is a correct principle • It is practiced by effective doctors, lawyers, executives, managers, parents, students and many others whose success depends on first understanding symptoms, instructions, etc • Once you have proved that you understand the other person in depth, he or she will be more willing to listen to you • When both parties understand both perspectives, we find ourselves on the same side looking for solutions together

  27. HABIT 5(Cont.) • Lord make me an instrument of your peace • Where there is hatred, let me sow love • Where there is injury, pardon • Where there is discord, union • Where there is doubt, faith • Where there is darkness, light • Where there is sadness, joy • Lord, grant that we may not so much seek • To be consoled as to console • To be understood as to understand • To be loved as to love • For it is in giving that we receive • It is in pardoning that we are pardoned • And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

  28. HABIT 6 • SYNERGISE • I learn that by working together we can achieve far more than either one of us could achieve on our own • 1 + 1 = 3 or more • The combined actions of a group of bodily organs • Each part of our bodies fulfils a particular function • Our health and well being depends on all the parts combining in their different strengths and weaknesses • Consider the peaceful transition of SA to a democracy – it is called a miracle • Synergy is the essence of miracles
