7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 7

Part 2

Habit 7: sharpen the saw

3. Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful, when you

do the wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass-it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact  

directions and paths you need to tread.

4. Soul: study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspiration, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

 Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.
