Be Effective, By Jordyn Pebbles

"You can't live principals you can't understand." - Stephen R. Covey

In Stephen Coveys '7 habits of highly effective people' he states the 7 habits that create a high effectiveness in ones life. Inside-Out: The change starts within.

1. BE PROACTIVE: He writes about how life doesn't just 'happen'. It is all created by oneself. We all need to start taking full responsibility for our lives.

2. BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND: Are you at the point in your life right now where you are looking to be? Start envisioning in your mind the greatness that you would like to achieve.

3. PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST: There is no need for us to overextend ourselves. This is where # 1 and 2 combine together. Life management. Our purposes, roles, values and priorities. Ask yourself this, "What do I find my greatest worth within?"

4. THINK WIN-WIN: Unlike what we have all been told, life is a cooperative rather than a competitive arena. When we start living like this we start to possess integrity, maturity and an abundance mentality.

5. SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD: How much more important it is to understand the things that are going on in the world that surrounds us! We must learn that communication is one of the most important skills inherited in life.

6. SYNERGIZE: "Two heads are better than one" It is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open mindedness, and finding new solutions to old problems.

7. SHARPEN THE SAW: Preserving and enhancing the greatest assets we have - US! Having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of our life: physical, social/emotional, mental and spiritual.

Each and every one of us can live with an abundance of effectiveness. Apply these to your life and see how much your mind and outlook change. Easily will our life goals be achieved.
