1. They respond to crises and errands rather than goals. (take initiative instead)2. They take action based on what feels urgent. (be proactive instead)
3. They react to life instead of anticipating it. They don’t have the discipline to plan. (begin with the end in mind instead)
4. They don’t listen well are motivated to communicate their needs before hearing out someone else. (listen to people first instead)
5. They are selfish, seeking to meet their own needs first, often at the expense of others. (find the win/win instead)
6. They don’t exercise their imagination in helping others out and are content with managing what exists rather than creating possibilities. (look for synergies instead)
7. They don’t work at improving themselves on a regular basis. (sharpen your saw instead)
If you recognize a habit of yours somewhere in the list, I recommend that you get Covey’s book. It will change your life.

I'm motivated to join God in his global reclamation project. He's on the move, setting his sons and daughters free from their places of captivity. And he's partnering with those of us who have been freed to go and free others.
