7 Habits of
Highly Successful Teens
Habit 1
(By Sean
Covey but modified)
Habit 1: Be Proactive.
Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help
your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people
understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They
don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize
that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship;
that they are in court, that they are the in control, control of their
decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive
people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward
with enthusiasm toward the achievement of assignment, their duties, their responsibilities,
their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the
rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school politics. Obey your
parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive
and take initiative.
