Habits

          It is hard for me to choose just one habit among the all important seven which will be of most use to me in the future. They each seem to need each other. And in a world where there is SO many ideas, habits, and information, Covey has narrowed it down to only seven.
          I like the concept of win/win. Especially in business it can be made to seem that if we want to be successful, you must beat out others. What a game changing concept, that to reach our goals we should help others to feel good and "win" as well. Our employees can win, our partners can win, our customers can win and even other business can win if we have the right attitude. This particular attribute reminds me of how the Savior would conduct a business. And if I can feel that the savior would approve of my business plan and conduct, then it is full steam ahead in my eyes.
         Another habit which could have heavenly attributes would be to begin with the end in mind. When I think of this, I think of having an eternal perspective. Can we see where we want to be, are we heading down that path? Not only in our personal life but in our business dealings. I want to be able to forego the instant gratification of the now and see the big picture.
