Thanks Pastor Craig, I love all of these but more particular, I really liked hearing you say to plan my next day the night before. Owning and operating two businesses can be very controlling of my planned day which I have been doing the day of instead of day before. I can see this as an opportunity to get more accomplished on my list. I also liked what you said about starting every interaction with the other person in mind.

The fourth habit is so good, as a former YL staff person we came up with a catchy phrase for "you-first leadership". When we see others we think and act like: "There YOU are" - and not "Here I am".
