16. HABIT 7 : SHARPEN THE SAW
A long healthy & happy life is the result of making contributions of having
meaningful projects that are personally exciting & contribute to & bless the
lives of others
PRINCIPLE : To maintain & increase effectiveness, we must renew ourselves in body,
heart, mind & soul.
Sharpen the Saw is a daily process of renewing
for four dimensions of
our nature : Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Social
/ Emotional.
These four dimensions sustain and increase our
capacities and help us
discipline our mind, body and spirit. This daily
private victory is a
victory over self. Not only does the daily Private
victory stimulate growth,
but it also helps us to achieve the Public Victory.
As we achieve these
victories through renewal, we cultivate and
nurture the other six habits.

• Physical Dimension : Assume you’ve had a
heart attack in the last month. How would you
approach exercise & nutrition?
• Social / Emotional Dimension : Assume that
everything you say about people will be heard
by them. How might you choose your words
differently?
• Mental Dimension : Assume your knowledge
& skills will be obsolete in two years. What new
learning avenues would you explore?
• Spiritual Dimension : Assume you have a year
to live. What legacy would you want to leave ?
