Play this game in groups of four. Find the word that does not belong to the same category as the other words in the same group. I see things in a very different way now. I know what it feels like to not have any friends. Seeing things from another point of view can make all the difference in our attitude toward others.

Buying a cup of coffee and a small package of cookies, she staggered, laden with luggage, to an unoccupied table. She was reading the morning paper when she became aware of someone rustling at her table. She did not want to make a scene, so she leaned across and took a cookie herself. A minute or so passed. More rustling. He was helping himself to another cookie. By the time they were down to the last cookie in the package, she was very angry but still could not bring herself to say anything.

Then the young man broke the cookie in two, pushed half across to her, ate the other half and left. Some time later, when the public-address system called for her to present her ticket, she was still fuming.

Imagine her embarrassment when she opened her handbag and was confronted by her package of cookies. She had been eating his. How kind of him to share his last cookie with me! In addition, we should open our minds and hearts to new information, ideas, and points of view. Is it obvious that if you want to make big changes in your life, change your lens.

Everything else will follow. In reality, both of your paradigms are probably incomplete and are holding you back from real communication with each other. So get ready. Luckily, there is one center that you can always count on. Friends are important but should never become your center. Sometimes they talk behind your back or develop new friendships and forget yours.

They have mood swings. They move. Believe it or not, the day will come when friends will not be the biggest thing in your life. In high school I had an amazing group of friends. I loved these guys. Now, years later, we live far apart, and new relationships, jobs, and family take up our time. As a teen, I never could have fathomed this. People will change, you will change. Possessions also come in the form of titles and accomplishments, such as—head cheerleader, star of the play, valedictorian, student body officer, editor in chief, or MVP.

There is nothing wrong with achieving success and enjoying our stuff, but things should never become the center of our lives. In the end, they have no lasting value. From the quality of our hearts, not the quantity of things we own. After all, he who dies with the most toys. She never wore the same outfit twice. It was a real turnoff to me. Now, watch the instability it creates in Brady. You never loved me. If who I am is what I have and what I have is lost, then who am I?

I loved it! She was her own person and had her own inner strength. Her moods were independent of mine. This goes for getting a boyfriend or girlfriend, too. If you make your crush the center of your life, it can sometimes come off as desperate or needy. Independence is far more attractive than dependence. You can usually tell when a couple becomes centered on each other because they are forever breaking up and getting back together.

As a seventh grader I was already working as hard as a college student. I wanted to be a brain surgeon, just because it was the hardest thing I could think of. I would get up at six every morning all through school and not go to bed before 2 A. I felt teachers and peers expected it of me. My parents tried to loosen me up, but my own expectations were as great as that of teachers and peers.

I realize now that I could have accomplished what I wanted without trying so hard, and I could have had a good time doing it. Our education is vital to our future and should be a top priority. School-centered teens often become so obsessed with getting good grades that they forget that the real purpose of school is to learn.

You can do extremely well in school and still maintain a healthy balance in life. Parent-Centered Your parents can be your greatest source of love and guidance and you should respect and honor them, but living to please them above everything else can become a real nightmare. But all I could see in their eyes was disappointment. It was all I could do not to cry. What did they want from me? That was my sophomore year of high school, and I spent the next two years trying to make my parents proud of me.

I played basketball and I hoped that they would be proud—they never came to see me play. I was going to go to college to be a teacher, but there was no money in that, and my parents felt that I would be better off studying something else—so I did. Every decision I made was prefaced with the questions—What would Mom and Dad want me to do?

Would they be proud? Would they love me? But no matter what I did, it was never good enough. I felt out of control. I felt worthless, useless, and unimportant. So I started to live my own life, by the principles that I thought would bring me happiness—like honesty with myself and my parents , faith in a happier life, hope for the future, and belief in my own goodness.

In the beginning I sort of had to pretend that I was strong, but, over a period of time, I became strong. Finally I struck out on my own and had a falling out with my folks, but it made them see me for who I was, and they loved me.

They apologized for all the pressure they put on me and expressed their love. Other Possible Centers The list of possible centers could go on and on. Being sports- or hobbies-centered is a big one. How many times have we seen a sports-centered jock build his identity around being a great athlete only to suffer a career-ending injury? It happens all the time. And the poor kid is left to rebuild his life from scratch. And what about being hero-centered?

If you build your life around a rock star, famous athlete, entrepreneur, or powerful politician, what happens if they die, do something really stupid, or end up in jail? Who will you look up to then? Sometimes we can even become enemy-centered, and build our lives around hating a group, a person, or an idea.

There are countless websites dedicated to hating particular topics or celebrities. What a waste of time! Why not put that energy toward something that makes you happy? Another common center is being self-centered, or thinking the world revolves around you and your problems. As you can see, all these and many more life-centers do not provide the stability that you and I need in life.

We should. Principle-Centered—The Real Thing In case you were starting to wonder, there is a center that actually works. What is it? Drumroll, please. We are all familiar with the effects of gravity. Throw a ball up and it comes down. Just as there are principles that rule the physical world, there are principles that rule the human world. They apply equally to everyone, male or female, rich or poor, famous or obscure.

If you live by them, you will excel. Here are a few examples: Honesty is a principle. Service is a principle. Love is a principle.

Hard work is a principle. Respect, gratitude, moderation, fairness, integrity, loyalty, and responsibility are principles. There are dozens and dozens more. They are not hard to identify. Just as a compass always points to true north, your heart will recognize true principles. For example, think about the principle of hard work. I remember one time being invited to play in a golf tournament with my college football coach.

He was a great golfer. After all, I was a college athlete and all college athletes should be great golfers. You see, I stunk at golf. Especially my coach. So I was hoping that I could fool him and everyone else into thinking I was good.

Why me? As I stepped up to hit the ball, I prayed for a miracle. It worked! A miracle! I had hit a long shot, straight down the middle of the fairway. I turned around and smiled to the crowd and acted as if I always hit like that. Thank you very much.

In fact, it took only about five more shots for everyone around me, including my coach, to realize that I was a complete golf sham. Take the principle of honesty. As Cecil B. We can only break ourselves against the law. A principle- centered life is simply the most stable, immovable, unshakable foundation you can build upon, and we all need one of those. Can you? Ironically, living a principle-centered life is the key to excelling in all the other centers.

It is impossible for us to break the law. If you find no one trusts you, the principle of honesty might just be the cure you need. The one who escaped asked permission of his officer to go and bring his brother in. Just as the soldier reached the lines with his brother on his shoulders, the wounded man died. The long and short of it is principles rule. So carry on! It is the story of a dysfunctional, phobia-laden, immature, pea-brained leech named Bob who never, ever goes away.

He attaches himself to Dr. Bob is delighted! He no longer has to worry about how to get all the way home from Dr. Though small, these steps can become powerful tools in helping you achieve your larger goals. Consider what might be causing them to act that way. Remember, whatever is most important to you will become your paradigm or life-center. What occupies my time and energy? Begin today to treat others as you would want them to treat you.

Think about what matters most to you. Consider if they are in harmony with the principles you believe in. Go the extra mile and do more than is expected. All change begins with you. Several colleges recruited me straight out of high school, but I chose BYU because they had a tradition of producing all-American quarterbacks like Jim McMahon and Steve Young, both of whom went on to the pros and led their teams to Super Bowl victories.

Although I was the third-string quarterback at the time, I planned on being the next all-American! The thing that really bugged me, though, was that he was right. I was holding back, and I knew it. I had a hard decision to make—I had to either quit football or triple my commitment. Over the next several weeks, I waged a war inside my head and came face-to-face with many fears and self-doubts.

Did I have what it took to be the starting quarterback? Could I handle the pressure? Was I big enough? It soon became clear to me that I was scared, scared of competing, scared of being in the limelight, scared of trying and perhaps failing.

And all these fears were holding me back from giving it my all. So I committed to give it my all. I decided to stop holding back and to start laying it all on the line.

The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort—he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature.

It was simply a private battle that I fought and won inside my own mind over a period of several weeks. Once I committed myself, everything changed. I began taking chances and making big improvements on the field.

My heart was in it now. I knew it, and the coaches saw that. As the season began and the games rolled by one by one, I sat on the bench. Although frustrated, I kept working hard and kept improving.

Midseason featured the big game of the year. Needless to say, that was the longest week of my life. At kickoff my mouth was so dry I could barely talk. But after a few minutes I settled down and led our team to victory.

Afterward, lots of people congratulated me on the victory and my performance. That felt good. I knew it happened months before in the privacy of my own head, when I decided to face my fears, to stop holding back, and to brace myself for one supreme effort. Beating Air Force was a much easier challenge than overcoming myself. Private victories always come before public victories.

We learn addition before algebra. If you want to make a change in your life, the place to begin is with yourself, not with your parents, your teacher, or your girlfriend or boyfriend. All change begins with Y-O-U. Not outside in.

I am reminded of the writings of an Anglican bishop: When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world; As I grew older and wiser I realized the world would not change. And I decided to shorten my sights somewhat and change only my country. But it too seemed immovable.

As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but alas they would have none of it. This is what this book is all about. Changing from the inside out, starting with the man or woman in the mirror. The Personal Bank Account H ow you feel about yourself is like a bank account. Just like a checking or savings account at a bank, you can make deposits into and take withdrawals from your PBA by the things you think, say, and do.

On the other hand, when I break a promise to myself, I feel disappointed and make a withdrawal. So let me ask you. How is your PBA? Are you loaded or bankrupt?

The symptoms listed below might help you evaluate where you stand. Small deposits over a long period of time is the way to a healthy and rich PBA. They promise to hang out on the weekend and they forget. After a while, you stop trusting them.

Their commitments mean nothing. We should treat the commitments we make to ourselves as seriously as those we make to the most important people in our lives. Make a promise to yourself and keep it. Because it gets you focused outward, not inward. Ironically, a by- product of serving others is feeling wonderful yourself. In fact, I had the best seat on the entire plane. Seat 1A.

Before boarding, I noticed a young lady who had several carry-on bags and was holding a crying baby. Let her have your ticket. I know how hard it can be flying with kids. As we boarded the plane, I was surprised at how good it made me feel to watch her sit down in seat 1A. There she was with her baby, both asleep in big and comfortable seat 1A.

And I felt like a million bucks. For the past three years, when I grew out of my clothes, me and my mom took them over to her. Go out of your way to invite the kid who sits alone in class out with you and your friends. Write an email or thank-you note to someone who has made a difference in your life, like a friend, a teacher, or a coach. Giving gives life not only to others but also to yourself. Splashes of green adorn its banks. Trees spread their branches over it and stretch out their thirsty roots to sip of its healing waters.

The River Jordan makes this sea with sparkling water from the hills. So it laughs in the sunshine. And men build their houses near to it, and birds their nests; and every kind of life is happier because it is there.

The River Jordan flows on south into another sea. Travelers choose another route, unless on urgent business. The air hangs heavy above its water, and neither man nor beast nor fowl will drink. What makes this mighty difference in these neighbor seas? Not the River Jordan. It empties the same good water into both. Not the soil in which they lie; not in the country round about. This is the difference. The Sea of Galilee receives but does not keep the Jordan.

The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea is shrewder, hoarding its income jealously. It will not be tempted into any generous impulse. Every drop it gets, it keeps. The Sea of Galilee gives and lives. This other sea gives nothing.

It is named the Dead. There are two kinds of people in this world. There are two seas in Palestine. It means not expecting yourself to be perfect by tomorrow morning. It means learning to laugh at the stupid things you do.

Being gentle also means forgiving yourself when you mess up. The past is just that, past. Consider what went wrong and why. Learn, and make amends if you need to. Then drop it and move on. Throw that voodoo doll out with the trash. The easiest way to get rid of them is for the ship to harbor in a freshwater port, free of salt water. Here, the barnacles loosen on their own and fall off. The ship is then able to return to sea, relieved of its burden.

Are you carrying around barnacles in the form of mistakes, regrets, and pain from the past? Perhaps you need to allow yourself to soak in fresh water for a while. Hit the refresh button. Letting go of a burden and giving yourself a second chance may just be the deposit you need right now.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Only have one life to live, so you better make the best of it.

Honesty comes in many forms. When people look at you, do they see the genuine article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? This goes for your Internet persona, too. I was really good at it.

It takes courage to be honest when people all around you seem to be getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing from work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit into your PBA and will build strength. Why was it so successful?

But it quickly becomes much more than that. The message for us here is about rejuvenation, about unplugging, about taking time to listen to the natural world around us. Go sit somewhere and ponder the clouds.

Find a tree stump and listen to the wind or birds or maybe even the beating of your own heart. Now all this might sound a bit hokey, but trust me, humans today live in a constant storm of stuff and we all need to take a deep breath and unplug occasionally, just to renew our spirits.

There I had a hockey stick, a ball, and a bare concrete wall on which I could take out my frustrations. It did wonders for my hockey game, but it was even better for my family relationships. Arian told me about his refuge. All alone in the quiet, dark, and spacious auditorium, he could get away from all the hustle and bustle, have a good cry, or just relax.

Allison found a garden all her own: My dad died in an industrial accident at work when I was little. When I really need him I go to the top of the slide at the local grade school playground. I have this silly feeling that if I can go to the highest place I will be able to feel him. So I climb up to the top of the slide and just lie there.

I talk to him in my thoughts and I can feel him talking to my mind. I want him to touch me, but of course know that he cannot. I go there every time something really is bothering me and I just share my burdens with him.

Exercise can do it, like going for a walk, running, dancing, or kickboxing. Some teens have suggested watching old movies, talking to friends who crack you up, or recording music and making videos on your computer. Others have found that writing in their journals helps them cope. Habit 7, Sharpen the Saw, is all about taking time to renew your body, heart, mind, and soul. So hold your horses. The truth is, talents come in a variety of packages.

You may have a knack for reading, writing, or speaking. You may have a gift for rhythm, being hilarious, remembering details, or being accepting of others. You may have organizational, musical, or leadership skills.

And as this girl attests, it builds esteem. You might die laughing when I tell you that I have a real talent and love for weeds. I realized that I always noticed them, while others just wanted them cut down. So I started picking them and pressing them—and eventually making beautiful pictures and postcards and art objects with them. I have been able to cheer many a sad soul with one of these personalized cards.

It makes me an explorer. His story is set in the Teton mountain range that stretches high above the plains of Idaho and Wyoming. The Grand Teton, the tallest of the Teton peaks, juts 13, feet above sea level. As a young boy, Bryce had the picture-perfect baseball swing. Until his tragic accident. While playing with a BB gun one day, Bryce accidentally shot himself in the eye. Fearing that surgery might permanently impair his vision, the doctors left the BB in his eye.

Months later, when Bryce returned to baseball, he began striking out each time at bat. He had lost his depth perception and much of his vision in one eye and could no longer judge the ball. I was convinced that I would never be able to do anything again.

It was a big blow to my confidence. Since he lived near the Tetons he decided to give climbing a try. So he dropped by the local Army store and bought nylon rope, carabiners, chalks, pitons, and other climbing necessities. He checked out climbing books and studied how to tie knots, hook up a harness, and rappel. Soon he began climbing some of the smaller peaks surrounding the Grand Teton.

Bryce soon realized that he had a knack for it. Unlike many of his climbing partners, his body was strong and lightweight and seemed to be perfectly built for rock climbing. It took him two days. Reaching this goal gave him a massive confidence boost. Bryce got faster and stronger every time. A climbing ranger named Jock Glidden had set a record on the Grand by running to the top and back in four hours and eleven minutes.

I know you can do it. He stopped only twice: once to take rocks out of his shoes and once to sign the register at the summit to prove he had been there. He felt utterly amazing. A few years later, Bryce received a surprise call from Kim. Your record has just been broken. I know you can do it! With him were friends, family, Kim, and a crew from the local television station to film his run.

As before, he knew the hardest part of the climb would be the mental aspect. He obviously did not want to become one of the two or three who die each year while attempting to scale the Grand.

The rise and fall in altitude from Lupine Meadows to the top and back is about 15, feet. As he ascended up, up, up the mountain, his heart pounded and his legs burned. Concentration was intense. The descent became so steep at times that he was taking ten- to fifteen-foot strides. He passed some friends who later told him his face had turned purple from oxygen depletion.

He had done the impossible! Word spread fast and Bryce became known as the fastest climber in the West. My ability to climb gave me something to work for and was a great source of self-esteem.

Most important, Bryce has found a way to make a living doing what he loves to do. Oh, by the way, the record still stands. And Bryce still has that BB in his eye. Keep Promises to Yourself 1 Get up when your alarm goes off. Decide when you will do it. Then keep your word and do it. Magnify Your Talents 5 List a talent you would like to develop this year. Write down specific steps to get there.

Each time you catch yourself putting yourself down, you have to replace it with three positive thoughts about yourself. Try it. Renew Yourself 9 Decide on a fun activity that will lift your spirits and do it today. For example, turn up the music and dance. Get up right now and go for a fast walk around the block.

Good luck! Growing up in my home was at times a big pain. Because my dad always made me take responsibility for everything in my life. You choose to be mad. Change teachers. Find a tutor if you have to. He was always challenging me, making sure that I never blamed someone else for the way I acted.

Luckily my mom let me blame other people and things for my problems or I might have turned out psycho. Just get off my back and leave me alone. But, with hindsight, I see the wisdom in what he was doing. He wanted me to learn that there are two types of people in this world—the proactive and the reactive—those who take responsibility for their lives and those who blame; those who make it happen and those who get happened to.

I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. Can you imagine doing algebra before learning addition and subtraction? Not gonna happen. The same goes for the 7 Habits. Proactive or Reactive. Are you in the habit of reacting to these kinds of everyday things, or are you proactive?

The choice is yours. It really is. How many times have you been driving down the road when suddenly somebody cuts in front of you, making you hit the brakes? What do you do? Scream at them? Flip them the bird? Let it ruin your day? Or do you just let it go? Laugh about it. Move on.

Reactive people make choices based on impulse. They are like a can of soda pop. When life shakes them up a bit, the pressure builds and they suddenly explode. Get out of my lane! They think before they act.

Unlike reactive people who are full of carbonation, proactive people are like water. Shake them up all you want, take off the lid, and nothing.

They stay calm, cool, and in control. You feel hurt and betrayed. Shove past her as you storm off. After all, she did it to you. Recently, a new employee joined the crew and he gets the coveted Saturday afternoon shift—the shift you were hoping for.

I was predetermined to be this way. You just ruined my day. You are. I must have things to be happy. Notice that reactive language takes power away from you and gives it to something or someone else. People infected with victimitis believe that everyone has it in for them and that the world owes them something.

The world owes you nothing. It was here first. Color has not stood in my way and I learn so much from white and black teachers and counselors alike. But it only resulted in him feeling that I was taking the side of the white man. I remain convinced that the only person who can hold you back is yourself. I mean, like, all the time. There were times I wanted to pound the guy, but I somehow managed to keep my cool and ignore him. Whenever he insulted me, I made it a personal challenge to treat him well in return.

I had faith that things would work out in the end if I acted this way. In a matter of a few months things began to change. Often all it takes is one person to create a friendship. To top it off he then has the nerve to question the price I charged him for the broccoli.

To my horror, I discovered that he was right. I had put the wrong code numbers in the register for the broccoli. Now I was extra irritated and so tempted to lash out at him to cover for my own mistake. It will just take a couple of seconds. It felt so good. I had apologized, but I had also said what I wanted to say. It was such a simple little thing, but it gave me such inner conversion and confidence in this habit.

Being reactive is way, way easier. Without question, though, being proactive is the higher road and one that will take you much farther in the not-so-long run. The key then is to get in the habit of being proactive so you can run on autopilot and not even have to think about it. Then Never underestimate the huge difference small changes can make.

But there is one thing we can control: how we respond to what happens to us. And that is what counts! Picture two circles. The inner circle is our circle of control.

It includes things we have control over—ourselves, our attitudes, our choices, our response to whatever happens to us. Surrounding the circle of control is the circle of no control. You guessed it!

Ignore the rude comment, avoid making the mistake next time, and get an umbrella for the rain. You are the star of your own life. Focus on what you can influence. Renatha told me a story that illustrates this point. Instead of ignoring the comments, Renatha became angry and spent the rest of the week stewing. When the game arrived, her only goal was to prove to this woman that she was a good player. To make a long story short, Renatha played poorly, spent much of her time on the bench, and her team lost the game.

Proactive people, on the other hand, focus elsewhere. By doing so they experience inner peace and are primed for whatever comes their way. I can get through it. Mitchell, a self- made millionaire, a sought-after speaker, a former mayor, a river rafter, and skydiver. And he accomplished all this after his accidents.

Mitchell says sometimes people try to guess how he was injured. A car wreck? The real story is more astounding than one could ever imagine. On June 19, , he was on top of the world—young, healthy, and popular. The day before, he had bought a beautiful new motorcycle. That morning, he soloed in an airplane for the first time. The bike went down, crushed my elbow and fractured my pelvis, and the gas can popped open on the motorcycle.

The gas poured out, the heat of the engine ignited it, and I got burned over 65 percent of my body. He was unconscious for two weeks, and then he awakened.

Over four months, he had 13 transfusions, 16 skin-graft operations, and several other surgeries. Four years later, after spending months in rehabilitation and years learning to adapt to his new handicaps, the unthinkable happened. Mitchell was involved in a freak airplane crash, and was paralyzed from the waist down. He had been a mountain climber, a skier, an active outdoors person, and he was convinced his life was over.

Before all this happened to me, there were 10, things I could do. Now there are 9, I could spend the rest of my life dwelling on the 1, that I lost, but I choose to focus on the 9, that are left.

First is the love and encouragement of friends and family, and second is a personal philosophy he has gleaned from various sources. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or a starting point.

I have no time to ponder that which has been denied. I hope and believe that you will be proactive and strong in these defining moments. I remember a major setback of my own. Two years after I had become the starting quarterback in college, I seriously injured my knee, had surgery, fell behind, and subsequently lost my position. I felt sick.

It was my senior year. As a backup, I had a choice to make. I could complain, bad-mouth the new guy, and feel sorry for myself. I could make the most of the situation. Luckily, I decided to deal with it. I was no longer throwing touchdowns, but I could help in other ways. So I swallowed my pride and kept supporting the team, working hard and preparing for each game as if I were the starter.

I chose to keep my chin up. Was it easy? Not at all. I often felt like a failure. Sitting out every game after being the starter was humiliating. Keeping a good attitude was a constant struggle. Was it the right choice, though? Most important, I took responsibility for my attitude.

I cannot begin to tell you what a positive difference this singular decision made in my life. It happened when I was at a fair. He took me on a long walk and we ended up down at the dugouts at the high school. That was where he raped me.

You wanted this to happen to you anyway. I kept quiet about it for two years. Finally, I was attending a help session where people who were abused told their stories and this one girl got up and told a story similar to mine. When she said the name of the boy that abused her, I started to cry because it was the same one who had raped me.

It turned out that there were six of us who were victimized by him. Fortunately, Heather is now on the road to recovery and has found tremendous strength in being part of a teen group that is trying to help other abuse victims.

By coming forward, she put a stop to more girls getting attacked by the same boy. That is a proactive and powerful act. Too afraid to tell anyone I tried to bury my hurt and anger.

Now that I have come to terms with what happened, I look back on my life and can see how it has affected everything. In trying to hide something terrible I ended up hiding myself. Many people have been through the same experience as I have or something that is related. Most hide it.

Some are afraid for their lives. Others want to protect themselves or someone else. Confronting it is the only way to sew up that bleeding gash. Find someone to talk to, someone you feel comfortable with, someone you can trust. And the truth has to be told. Abuse thrives in secrecy. By telling another person, you immediately lighten the load you carry. Talk with a loved one or friend you can trust, go to sexual-abuse support meetings, or visit a professional therapist.

Sharing your secret with another is an important step in the healing process. Take the initiative to do it. Please refer to the abuse hotlines listed at the back of the book for help or information. One girl mentioned her mother. Another kid talked about his brother. One guy was noticeably silent. I asked him whom he admired.
