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 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 their assignments,
their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is
right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the couch.
Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. obey with exactness, and great
things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.
Choose the Right!!!
