5Th Habitude for the Freshmen 2 October 2017

2 October 2017 5th Habitude for the Freshmen ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ “Golden Buddha” ● The​ ​ image to the right falls under Purpose ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ● The Golden Buddha focuses on the importance of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ embracing our natural abilities, talents, and passions. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● How do we use our strengths in our daily lives? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ Reference of the Golden Buddha statue in Thailand: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Wat Traimit is the Temple of the Golden Buddha located in Bangkok, Thailand. Buddha statues were often covered in plaster or stucco to disguise them from invading armies, so invaders wouldn’t attempt to steal these priceless artifacts. If you visit this seated Buddha in Bangkok, it’s actually free of charge. When workers were moving a statue one day, a rope slipped and the statue fell. It cracked. Upon inspection, the workers noticed something gold inside. Pealing away the plaster, they discovered a solid gold statue of Buddha. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● “We are a shell on the outside We judge each other’s shell believe there’s gold inside of all of us.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ … ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ … ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● What moves us to act? What are our strengths? Discover what we have to offer. ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ We need to take our own personal inventories. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● What is it we have to offer that naturally causes us to influence others in a positive way? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● When we focus on our strengths daily, we are able to become better leaders and have greater influence on others. Do you know your strengths? What is your natural zone of influence? ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Recommended - Take some personality or occupational traits tests. Here are a couple examples: ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp ● https://www.truity.com/test/big-five-personality-test Two kinds of leaders ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1. Habitual → A person who naturally leads regardless of what is going on (10 to 15% of leaders). ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. Situational → A person who says he or she is not a great leader, but put in the right situation that matches her ​ ​​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ strengths, she is naturally equipped to lead using intuition and influence. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ What determines your performance as an individual and a leader? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “Your Potential” represents what you’re capable of doing. What you can ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ pull off. ​ ​ “Your Perspective” represents what you think you’re capable of doing. ​ ​ ​ ​​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The dotted line is where most people spend their time and efforts. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Both of these lines impact what we potentially accomplish. Most of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ our days are consistent with our perspective. Joyce Brothers states, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “It is impossible to perform consistently in a manner that is ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ inconsistent with the way we see ourselves.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ We can often perform at a higher level, but this level sometimes doesn’t necessarily meet our vision or our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ perceived level of self-esteem, so we often retreat to a lower level of perspective. What would happen if we ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ discovered our true potential? We often focus on directing our energy toward addressing our weaknesses than ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ playing to our strengths. Image what we could do or become if we played to our strengths and reached our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ potential...
