Understood true meaning of this quote during Life class (Integrity) on 18th.
During session got an opportunity to understand the underlying root cause of superficial behaviour that have become habit during the course of life.
Now that new insider side of mine is exposed to Me, Will strive to HANDLE IT !
in Integrity LC i learn about truth. we have to live with honesty and after that there is no fear in your mind. always fear come in mind it is all about due to assumption. life is very much long and in every stage we have to go ahead with fear but we have to face that fear with honesty not with assumptions.
so in mind always keep that “I can handle it” and with this thought if we live there is no fear come. so i learned this in 2 day LC.
Be original, be transparent, be real, be openminded or many other positive words like these can be correlated with Integrity. I believe an individual should be able to see him/herself proudly in the mirror without shame that matters a lot. If we are transparent or honest to oneself then only we can be others.
Both the sessions were well planned, enjoyable, and smooth.
Thank you!

To be very honest, this LC for Integrity was the one I enjoyed the most. It was like a mirror session to me, to understand and introspect on ‘What kind of person I am?’ and ‘WHY I am that kind of person?’. It’s not everyday that you introspect and understand yourself, as to what kind of fears and insecurities you hold. The Integrity class gave us that opportunity to identify our fears and understand the reasons behind it. One thing that I understood and agree, was that there are certain things that are not going to be in our control, and worrying about it or fearing it is not going to do any good. As true and and as practical this may seem. This is also on the other hand equally Difficult for most of us to let go. I mean who is completely able to ‘Let go’ their fears. I think we can’t. We can never let go our fears, but one thing that I understood is that by contemplating our fears and understanding them, we definitely sum up the courage to face and live with that fears.
Acceptance is another important thing. It took me some time to understand the level 3 fear, but when I did [or not, completely], at least I understood that it is the very nature to level 3 fear, because not everyone can identify them, these fears are the one that we are in denial with and we mostly overlook them. I have accepted and understood my level 1 and 2 fears, whereas I am still working on understand the level 3 fears.
In a nutshell, these 2 days really were some good food for thought, and the sessions were light with so many stories from each of the participants as well as the facilitators.
Chaahat Dhall,

Integrity means, doing the right thing when no one is watching. I always believe you should be true to yourself and be able to face yourself because at the end because you have to face yourself rather than others. In class, I have learnt the levels of FEAR. Fear comes and it is natural but the main thing is you accepting it and moving on. I really liked the short stories that we discussed and the quote that, ‘Fear will never go away as long as you continue to grow’. So, for that you have to experiences your fear which falls on level 1 and level 2.
‘I can handle it’ is the motto that you have to keep saying it to yourself to just keep moving in life.
I am looking forward to learn more in our next sessions.
Before attending the Integrity workshop, my definition of integrity was “Doing the right things even when nobody is watching” However after attending the workshop, I got to learn the new definition of integrity i.e You need to be true to yourself also and not just to others. It helped me in introspecting my fears, categorize into the 3 levels of fears and would definitely help me overcome the fears by the due workshop. The quote “I can handle it” which according to me means I can’t afford to stay afraid of my fears. I need to overcome them sooner or later, then why not now? The integrity class is a good blend of “7 Habits” and “Love Class” Judging others is one of the human behaviour, the behaviour of a person depends upon their beliefs, values, society they live in, upbringing, etc. So this behaviour cant be changed overnight. It takes years to change the basic mentality of a person. I would like to thank Fountainhead School for giving us the platform for personal development.
When you are in a virtual set up, if the sharings still touch you and help you resonate with the situation, then half the work is done. Listening to experiences with provocations from mentors help in opening up. Never looked at the FEAR this way. They say ‘Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst’, but is that easy? Hoping – YES, but not all of us are prepared for the worst. What can be worse than this adverse time, life is in a stand still, still we all moving ahead and are shining. True learnings with constant discussions on how we can believe that YES, I CAN DO IT, I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. The emojis and GIFs activity in the session was so helpful. It helped in introspecting, analysing and evaluating. Some heard and some new stories and the status of mind of the protagonist, all are lessons for life, food for thought…life is not easy we all know, but we surely can make an effort to make it interesting. I would end with the quote – Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. If not optional, atleast we can prepare ourselves mentally and physically….Well made connection of 7 habits and Love class with Integrity.
When it comes to life classes, I feel the following quote is a perfect example of it.
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin
I am blessed to be a part of life class wherein we enrich our learning with others’ experiences. Before attending the ‘Integrity’ class, I was very inquisitive as I have heard a lot about it from my friends that it is all about the application of the ‘7 habits’ and ‘Love class’. But now when I am experiencing it I can make connections with the ‘7 habits’ and ‘Love class’. When we talk about fears it is also connected with legitimate and illegitimate pain along with having faith in ourselves. This workshop was sort of a reflection process that helped me to rethink my fears from different lenses and also gave me insights to handle the same. I am looking forward to the upcoming classes which will surely help me to become a better version of myself. Till that I will always remember the inevitable mantra, ‘Come what may, I can handle it’.
