I started going through the book “The 7 Habits of High Effective People” again and figured I’d share here. 

• Be Proactive
• Begin with the End in Mind
• Put First Things First
• Think Win-Win
• Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
• Synergize
• Sharpen the Saw

Each day I’ll elaborate on one of the habits to give more context. 

Hope you all have a great day!!

Let’s break down Habit #1 from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Be Proactive.

The book says being proactive means more than just taking initiative. It means that as human beings, we are responsible for our own lives. 

We must recognize that our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. This habit is about taking responsibility for our lives, knowing that we can influence our outcomes by focusing on what we CAN control - our actions, attitudes, and mindset. Instead of reacting to external circumstances, we choose our responses based on our values. 

The author says that proactive people focus on their "Circle of Influence" which includes things they can directly affect, rather than wasting energy on the "Circle of Concern" - things outside their control.

Let’s take charge of our actions and mindset. Choose to respond with intention, no matter what comes your way.

Have a great day everyone.

My dad made me read Og Mandigo and Norman Vincent peele self help books growing up

Any good ones you’d recommend? I haven’t read many books

you cant go wrong with either author on that topic.  Think and Grow Rich is a classic
How to win friends and influence people also comes to mind
