You’re Going to be “Off Track” 90% of the Time. So What?
![Page 3: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Good families – even great families – are off track 90% of the time. The key is that they have a sense of destination. They know what the
“track” looks like. And they keep coming back to it time and time again.
![Page 4: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The key is in having a destination, a flight plan, and a
compass.
Invest the next few minutes in this presentation, and you will be given the most valuable tools ever to find your
destination for your family.

Have the end in mind:
A Beautiful Family Culture

HABIT 1
BE PROACTIVE
![Page 7: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We do not have to love.
We choose to love.
We do not have to love.
We choose to love.
![Page 9: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
To do carefully and constantly and kindly many little things is not a little thing.
![Page 10: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The way you treat any relationship in the family
will eventually affect every relationship in the
family.
![Page 11: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HABIT 2
BEGIN WITH THE
END IN MIND
![Page 12: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Create a clear,
compelling vision of what you and your
family are all about.
![Page 13: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A family mission statement is a combined, unified expression from all family members of what your family is all about and the principles you choose to govern your family life.
![Page 14: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
For the most part, families don’t have the kind of mission statement so critical to organizational success. Yet the family is the most important, fundamental organization in the world.
![Page 15: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Through a family mission statement you can let your children know that you are totally committed to them, and that you have been from the very moment of their birth or adoption.
![Page 16: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HABIT 3
PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
![Page 17: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Making Family a Priority in a
Turbulent World
![Page 18: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Okay, now, I know what you’re going to hear from people is “We don’t have the time. But if you don’t have the time for one night or at least one hour during the week where everybody can
come together as a family, then the family is not the priority.”
~ Oprah Winfrey ~
![Page 19: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Things which matter the most must never be at the mercy of things
which matter least.
![Page 20: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The place to start is not with the assumption that work is non-negotiable; it’s with the assumption that family is non-negotiable. That one shift of mind-set opens the door to all kinds of creative possibilities.
![Page 21: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The role of parents is a
unique one, a sacred
stewardship in life. Is there really
anything that would outweigh
the importance of fulfilling that
stewardship well?
![Page 22: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
HABIT 4
THINK “WIN~WIN”
![Page 23: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Moving from
“Me” to
“We”
![Page 24: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The question is this: “Would you
be willing to search for a
solution that is better than what
either of us is now proposing?”
![Page 25: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The commitment is this: “Let me listen to you
first” or “Help me understand.”
![Page 26: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The principle is this: What is important to
another person must be as
important to you as the other
person is to you.
![Page 27: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Parenting is not about being popular and giving in to every child’s whim and desire. It’s about
making decisions that truly are win-win – however they may appear to the child
at the time.
![Page 28: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
HABIT 5
SEEK FIRST TO
UNDERSTAND…THEN
TO BE UNDERSTOOD
![Page 29: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Solving family problems through emphatic
communication
![Page 30: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
There’s no way to have rich, rewarding family relationships without real
understanding
![Page 32: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Most mistakes with family members are not the result of bad intent. It’s just that
we really don’t understand. We don’t see clearly into one another’s hearts.
![Page 33: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
When you understand…
You don’t judge.
![Page 34: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Each person needs to be loved in his or her own special way. They
key to making deposits,
therefore, is to understand – and
to speak – that person’s language
of love
![Page 35: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The technique of emphatic listening is just the tip of the iceberg. The great mass of the iceberg is a deep and sincere desire to truly understand.
![Page 36: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
HABIT 6
SYNERGIZE
![Page 37: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Building family unity through celebrating differences
![Page 38: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
You must be able to say sincerely, “The fact that we see things differently is a
strength – not a weakness – in our relationship.
![Page 39: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Once you realize that each
problem is asking for a
response instead of just
triggering a reaction, you start to learn. You become a
learning family.
![Page 40: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
HABIT 7
SHARPEN THE SAW
![Page 41: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Renewing the family
spirit through
traditions
![Page 42: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Every family must take time to renew itself in the four key areas of life: physical,
social, mental, and spiritual.
![Page 43: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
If you organize your family life to spend ten or fifteen minutes a morning reading something that
connects you to timeless principles, you will make better choices during the day – in the family, on the job, in every dimension of life.
![Page 44: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Sharpening the saw is the highest leverage activity in life because it affects everything else so powerfully
![Page 45: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5465b49db4af9ff3478b46fc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
From Survival…To stability…To Success…To Significance
I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: The only ones among you who will really be happy are those
who have sought and found how to serve. ~ Albert Schweitzer ~
