Chapter 3 is the final piece of the puzzle on your way to conquering your very own personal victory. Habit one shows us that we are in charge of our own destiny. It empowers you to change your program that may have been put in place since childhood. Habit two starts the process of identifying what it is you want to be through your powers of visualization. This is the mental creation of the end you desire. Habits one and two are the prerequisite to chapter three which will put your mental creation into a physical force. It’s the day in day out action you will need to take. With the foundations set, you will be able to practice effective self management through your principle centered lifestyle.
The successful person has a tendency to do what other people won’t do. It’s not that they necessarily like it but their strength of purpose will overcome the doubts. The chapter gives you the opportunity to critically examine where you spend your time. There are 4 quadrants to choose from and your answers may well surprise you. Is your day consumes with urgent matters? Is everything you do classified as important? Are you one of the many who are swamped on a daily basis by what is called “crisis management”?
You will gain a terrific understanding of what effective people do to manage their time. Habit 1 suggested you are the programmer, habit 2 sheds light on writing the program and habit 3 is all about running the program or in fact, “living the program”. Living the program is not something we do every now and then. If it is in line with our principle centered pathway, our program becomes how we live our lives day in day out. How we spend our time is absolutely paramount to our levels of success. The chapter delivers towards the beginning of “public victories” with some further examination of the P/PC balance and a concept which was brand new to me called “The Emotional Bank Account”.
The emotional bank account is a metaphor for something that describes the amount of trust that has been built up in any given relationship. Courtesy, kindness and honesty are examples of deposits into a bank account and discourtesy, cutting off and disrespect are withdrawals that can deplete your account. Without a positive emotional bank account that has established a trend of continual deposits, withdrawals will tend to have a compounding and negative effect.
This concept can be adapted to every relationship you have whether it be personal or business, the power of a positive account will always increase your level of trustworthiness and integrity. Learn, understand and implement the content contained in these pages and you will not only change your life but you will be well and truly ready for the public victories that are about to follow.
