8. Thoughts become actions
A man found an eagles egg and put it in the nest of a barnyard hen. The eagle hatched with the brute of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects, he clucked and cackled and thrashed his wings and would fly a few feet into the air. Years passed by and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents. The old eagle looked up in awe ‘who is that?’ he asked. ‘That’s the eagle, the king of the birds’ said his neighbour, ‘he belongs to the sky we belong to the earth, because we are chickens’. So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.

10. Every great breakthrough is a break WITH.

Going to present
Habit 1

18. Habit 1 Be proactive
Raise your hand if you have said 3 or more of the following:
I cant
I have to go
I don’t know how
He makes me so mad!
There is nothing I can do
She thinks I am not good at….
I cant control that class!
I hate Mondays
Not until you can say
I am what I am today
because of the choices I
made yesterday.

Characteristics of a Proactive Person
Respond according to their values
S -> R or S -> freedom to chose -> R
Accept responsibility for their own behavior. We make choices according to our values, purposes, and vision.
Focus on their Circle of Influence

19. Response Ability Responsibility Food for thought…
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Viktor E. Frankl
Underlying Principle – Individuals are responsible for their own choices and have the freedom to choose.
Key Paradigm – “I am responsible for my behavior and the choices I make in life.”
Responsibility
Response
Ability

20. Proactive Reactive Stimulus and Response Stimulus Response
Freedom
to Choose
Self-Awareness……..Heart
Imagination………….Mind
Conscience…………..Spirit
Independent Will…….Body
Between stimulus and response one has the freedom to choose. Of the three central values in life ( experiential, creative and attitudinal) what matters most is how we positively respond to circumstances (attitudinal). We are only being effective by focussing our time and energy on  “circle of influence” rather than on our “circle of concern”. That is to say we are being proactive rather reactive. The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it instantly, correct and learn from it. Its about Leadership – what do I / we want to accomplish?
Reactive
Stimulus Response

21. Internal frame of reference / self-referential person:
Uses themselves as the context or reference frame. Considers their model of the world as the standard by which others are judged. Compares progress made to their own standards and works to improve against their own past results as opposed to that of others

What mental attitude must you adopt in order to fulfil these actions?

24. Habit 2: Begin With The End In Mind
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where," said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you’re going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
Underlying Principle – Mental creation precedes physical creation.
Key Paradigm – “I can choose my own future and create a vision of it.” “I will create results mentally before beginning any activity.”

25. Mission Statement Example
"My mission is to champion others to grow personally, professionally, emotionally and spiritually by using my compassion, my unique perspective, and my belief in others' inherent goodness, integrity, and enormous potential."
