Habit 4

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat benefit.

Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-Win will fit your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

-Anon

When you choose the right, you will always feel good about what you have done. You will feel proud for accomplishing something good. When making a decision, always remember to do what’s right. If you feel that you did something bad, then most likely it is because you did something wrong. After a while, you will start feeling guilty and you will not have a clear conscience. Think twice before making a decision, especially if you don’t know what the consequences might be.

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light- CTW is darkness.”

-Call/Haymore

I think that this statement means that choosing the right is the best thing to do. Comparing CTR with the light makes sense because when you choose the right, you will brighten not only your day but others too. You will feel happy that you have chosen the right. When choosing the wrong, it compares to darkness because darkness means loneliness and guilt.
