Habitude Lesson: The purpose of this lesson is “The Iceberg”
●The image to the left falls under Purpose
●The Iceberg image breaks down to the 10% above water-line which represents your skills. The 90% below the water-line represents your character, or the invisible parts of our lives. It’s what is below the surface that sinks the ship. 90% of our influence lies in the quality beneath the surface, yet we spend a large portion of our time working on the 10% of our skills that are found above the surface. I am reminded that we often focus on image, what people see, rather than substance.
Manyseekingopportunitieswilloftenfindbeyondtheirskillsthatwhatisessentialisourabilitytoworkwithothers,as well as our integrity, our values, and our overall substance. The story of the Titanic, the unsinkableship. The Titanic received five iceberg warnings. The last warning received the response, “Shut up, I’m busy.”
We often receive similar warnings, yet we state we are too busy to heed those warnings. “The Iceberg teaches me I must lead myself before I try to lead anybody else.”
If you lead yourself according to principles, others will want to follow without a title or a badge.
●“The Whistler Iceberg” → These are icebergs that have almost all of their surface matter above water. They make a lot of noise. These are like a lot of people who make noise but have little substance.
●“The Growler”➔ Iceberg that has equal amounts above and below the water. These are known for their twisting and turning. They are not stable and set.
Three Quotations that Speak to Integrity:
●“Your ability may carry you further than your character can sustain you.”
●“Leaders get into trouble when their integrity doesn’t keep pace with their giftedness.”
●“Our commitment to integrity can easily be eroded by your love of progress.” Weareinclinedasindividualstomoveforward,butattimes,wemaycompromiseourcharacterandintegrityinmaking progress.
“Your gift may put you on the stage, but it’s your integrity that is going to keep you there.”
Write down the Four Ingredients of Character:
●Self-Discipline → I have the ability to accomplish even when I don’t feel like doing anything.
●Emotional Security → I don’t always compare myself to others.
●My Values & Ethics → I live by principles that govern how I act.
●Sense of Identity → Know your strengths and weaknesses.
Give an example for each ingredient of character:
●Self-Discipline → ___________________________________
●Emotional Security → ___________________________________
●My Values & Ethics → ___________________________________
●Sense of Identity → ___________________________________
