What is a Habit?
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act,
but a habit. Aristotle
Knowledge(what to, why to)
Desire(want to)
Skills(how to)

PARADIGMThe way you see
something,your point of view,frame of reference,
or belief.
![Page 8: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815cc7550346895dcacf62/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is a paradigm shift? A paradigm shift is a way of looking atsomething differently. We are stepping “outside the box”. When we make a paradigm shift we can see,think, feel and behave differently. Example:• People used to think the Earth is flat.• Sailors proved the Earth is round.
(a paradigm shift occurred)

Frank Koch wrote: Two battleships assigned to the training squadron had been at sea on maneuvers in heavy weather for several days. I was serving on the lead battleship and was on watch on the bridge as night fell. Shortly after dark, the lookout on the wing of the bridge reported, "Light, bearing on the starboard bow." "Is it steady or moving astern?" the captain called out. Lookout replied, "Steady, captain," which meant we were on a collision course.The captain then called to the signalman, "Signal that ship: We are on a collision course, advise you change course 20 degrees."
![Page 10: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815cc7550346895dcacf62/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Back came the reply, "Advisable for you to change course 20 degrees." The captain said, "Send, I'm a captain, change course 20 degrees." "I am a seaman second class" came the reply. "You had better change course 20 degrees." By that time, the captain was furious. He spat out, "Send, I'm a battleship. Change course 20 degrees." Back came the reply, "I'm a lighthouse." We changed course.
Steven Covey (in “The 7 habits of Highly Effective People”) tells that story to teach that principles are “like lighthouses.” They are natural laws that cannot be broken.”

Teenagers are the product of their environment, upbringing, and choices. Are their choices
proactive or reactive? They need to choose how they act. They need to take responsibility
for their choices and their life.

3. Brainstorm. (Name all the solutions you can think of, no matter how crazy they may seem.)
4. Think about each solution:*Does it honor the values of your family, yourself, and others whom you respect?*Would it solve the problem?*Would it affect yourself and others for better or worse?
![Page 29: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815cc7550346895dcacf62/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5. Choose a solution, and act on it.
6. Evaluate the outcome:*Is the problem solved?
*Did the solution produce the results you expected?
*How did the solution fit with your feelings and values?
*Did the solution fail to meet your or the other party’s needs in any way?
*What else happened?*Would another solution
work better?

their strengths as opposed to their weaknesses? Do members understand – and share – the common goals
and vision? Is there a detailed plan of action for success?Do family members respect and appreciate one another? Does the family take a break from time to time to just
have fun together?
