Week 1

Every human has four endowments: self awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative imagination.  These give us the ultimate freedom, the power to choose, respond, and change.

Steven Covey

These four endowments are the things that separate us from animals.  As Covey says, these things give us the power to change our lives and surroundings.  It is our job as humans to use this ability for good.  We should use our independent will and creativity to create positive change in our personal lives and the world as a whole.  We should use our conscience to make good choices.  We should respond to problems in our lives with positive, creative solutions.
