Being a Spirited Mustang

 Menu

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People:

  1. Be Proactive
    Are my actions, based upon self chosen values or upon my moods, feelings, and circumstances?
  2. Begin With the End in Mind
    Have I written a personal mission statement which provides meaning, purpose, and direction
    to my life? Do my actions flow from my mission?
  3. Put First Things First
    Am I able to say no to unimportant, no matter how urgent, and yes to the important?
  4. Think Win-Win
    Do I seek mutual benefit in all independent relationships?
  5. Seek First to Understand, Then Seek to be Understood
    Do I avoid autobiographical responses and instead faithfully reflect my understanding of
    the other person before seeking to be understood?
  6. Synergize
    Do I value different opinions, viewpoints, and perspectives of others when seeking solutions?
  7. Sharpen the Saw
    Am I engaged in continuous improvement in the physical, mental, spiritual, and social/emotional
    dimensions of my life?
