Warm greetings to this debut post of mine! Yes, there is always a first time for everything in life- the most important being our attempt to try & put our thoughts into action!
What really prompted me to write this is because I want to share what I’ve learnt from a recent 2-day course that taught and reminded me how important these following habits are:
Habit 1 : Be Proactive
Habit 2 : Begin with the End in Mind
Habit 3 : Put First Things First
Habit 4 : Think Win-Win
Habit 5- Seek first to understand, then to be understood
Habit 6: Synergize
Habit 7 : Sharpen the saw
The first 3 habits give us private victory, the last 3 habits lead us to public victory and we have to continuously sharpen the saw so that we are able to grow and renew ourselves in 4-Dimensions (Physical, Social/Emotional, Mental and Spiritual). Don’t most of us want to be highly effective people in this dynamic, globalised and fast-changing world?
I truly believe that we can if we really desire to do so as these sayings go -‘What the mind can conceive, we can achieve’ and ‘It is not aptitude but your attitude that determines your altitude’. When we consciously grow with the process of maturity and align our paradigms with our principles in life, we can be strong, courageous, happy and enthusiastic people.
Human beings by changing the attitudes of the mind can surely change the outer aspects of their lives. Recognising one’s life values & principles, and one’s determination to achieve them and act on them is self-empowering. It is by spending on oneself that one becomes rich. Ask yourself a key question. What can I offer to others? Being able to make meaningful contributions, do what we love and to bless the lives of others are the cornerstone of having abundance & true happiness in life!
