7 habits

[macdobhran]

Since I'm leaving for Camp Jeep on Wednesday the daily 7 Habits is going to be longer than usual for the next two days.

• Even in the midst of people or circumstances that seem to ignore the principles, we can be secure in the knowledge that principles are bigger than people of circumstances, and that thousands of years of history haves seen them triumph, time and time again. Even more important, we can be secure in the knowledge that we can validate them in our own lives, by our own experience.



• We are limited, but we can push back the borders of our limitations. An understanding of the principle of our own growth enables us to search out correct principles with the confidence that the more we learn, the more clearly we can focus the lens through which we see the world. The principles don't change; our understanding of them does.



• The wisdom and guidance that accompany principle-centered living come from correct maps, from the way things really are, have been, will be. Correct maps enables us to clearly see where we want to go and how to get there. We can make our decisions using the correct data that will make their implementation possible and meaningful.



• The personal power that comes from principle-centered living is the power of a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual, unrestricted by the attitudes, behaviors, and actions of others or by the many of the circumstances and environmental influences that limit other people.

Thank you. I really like these daily reminders. I honestly think that it's helping me stay "honest" about my attitude. *smooches*
