“आपका दिमाग बहुत शक्तिशाली है, जब आप इसे सकारात्मक विचारों से भर देंगे तो आपके जीवन में बदलाव आना शुरू हो जाएगा |”  – अज्ञात

जीवन का आनंद लेने के लिए सबसे जरूरी यह है कि आप खुश रहे और खुश आप खुश तभी रहेंगे जब आप सकारात्मक सोचेंगे |

इन तीन सालों में मैंने अपने साथियों और गुरुओं से बहुत कुछ जाना और सीखा | इस वर्ष की कक्षा का अनुभव बहुत ही अलग और अच्छा था क्योंकि इस वर्ष मैंने जाना कि अपने प्रति ईमानदार कैसे रहना है और अपने डर का सामना कैसे करना है | ‘Hot Seat’ Activity का अनुभव काफी अनोखा था जिसमें हमने अपने साथियों अनुभवों से बहुत कुछ सीखा | कक्षा के सभी सदस्यों के साथ जो लगाव हो गया है वो एक परिवार की तरह महसूस करवाता है आशा है कि आगे की कक्षाओं में भी हम सभी साथ ही हों | मैं अपने facilitators को तहे दिल से धन्यवाद देना चाहूँगी कि उन्होंने मुझे स्वयं पर विश्वास करना सिखाया |

‘खुद से नहीं हारोगे, तो अवश्य जीतोगे।’ – स्वयं पर विश्वास रखें तो जीवन आनंदमय हो जाएगा |

This class all about the way we live our life. It is great experience for me with all my great people. The all people are new for me except few as rejoined last year after child care leave. This class talks about to ideantify our innner and hiden fear and love to live with it without any fear. It’s a story about our ego, compassion, compromises and no expectation.

I came to know about my hidden fear. I must not fear, Fear is mind killer, I will face my fear, I will permit it to pass over me and through me, And when It has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. It was a wonderful journey. This leaning was interesting, interactive, and pupose ful because of both the facilitators. All people shared their expirences, leaning. Pinky mam is bealiving that the show must go on and Juhi maam says that Nothing is possible in life. It is a big challenge, face it. I connect both of her tag lines  with many form. We went orphange and saw the people, how they live, even they are not aware about their problem thay just love and live their life as thay have. Guys, we are blessed to have many thing in our life so only love your life with your way with no expectation. If you feel you have problebms in your life then visit orphange and even think about people those dont have much but happy in their life. Life is really simple, but men insist on making it complicated.” Thank you all for this beautiful experience.

The journey of 8 days with the wonderful teammates and the facilitators made me believe in myself more. Being in the same group for the last three years gave the comfort zone,  we laughed and cried together, shared things with each other without the fear of being judged. Each individual is there to listen to you and guide you wholeheartedly.

‘Hot seat’ was a wonderful experience where we got a chance to listen to and help our friends and colleagues with their problems. Where you feel connected to each one of them and try to learn and gather something from them.

One of the most beautiful parts of the life class was the visit to the school of special kids. We always crib about our life and our problems, little things used to disappoint me so much, spending time with the special kids made me realize the value of life, value of health, and how blessed we are of having everything we wish to have.

Life is beautiful the way it is. Stay true to yourself, give your best, rest everything will be fine.

I am really thankful to my facilitators for listening to me and letting us do all the mischiefs.

I am going to miss Life class and wish to be in the same group for the rest of the years 🙂

Truly Grateful to Fountainhead school for giving us such a platform where we grow.

Gratitude!!!

 

सबसे  पहले तो पिंकी मॉम और जूही मॉम का बहुत -बहुत शुक्रिया जिन्होंने Integrity का सही मतलब समझाया | इस क्लास के बाद यह समझ आया कि हमारे अंदर का डर क्या है और उसे कैसे भगाए | हम ही जो अपने जीवन के उतार- चढ़ाव के ज़िम्मेदार हैं हम किसी को इसका ज़िम्मेदार नहीं मान सकते |अंत में इतना ही कि हम सब एक ही कश्ती में सवार हैं तो इसके लिए हमें डरने की ज़रूरत नहीं हैं बस अपने जीवन को खुशहाल तरीके से जिए और जीवन को और खुशहाल बनाने की कोशिश करें|

Yes, that is my key take away from this year’s life class. Amazing facilitators, learned lot from their experiences. Getting to know more that how life is full of uncertainties through my teammates sharing. I still cannot believe how these 3 years have passed by. From 7 habits to, love classes to integrity. Leaving behind my fears and getting to know to love oneself, forgiving others and self is the best gift that I can give to my self.

My visit to orphanage made me realize the bitter side of life and how lucky I am. We crib on pity issues but looking at them and knowing about their life made each one of us cry there and value life. The same experience and some glimpses that we could capture of the visit I shared with my family and especially my kids and they were also moved and touched. Even my young kids Diyan – 5 years and Misha 9 years closely got to know how harsh life can be and they have started valuing each thing and specially relations in their life.

I could not have asked for better teammates. We all laughed together, cried together and had fun with chai and lemonade ki chuski together. It would not be wrong if I say this team is my 2nd family. We all each one of us are different colour but when put together we are a ‘RAINBOW’ and that is why our team rocks and proud to be a part of this team. Looking forward to share the same space with you all in coming years and if not then ‘Show must go on…’

So what do I say about the life class experience which I had throughout the year with the best facilitators which I could ever ask for. I still remember the way I got comfortable with my life class group during the first ice breaking activity of the session only and how I managed to pour in my real life experiences in front of my group members without a second of doubt.

When I look back to the amazing journey I went through, I realize that all the sessions encouraged me to think critically about reviewing my life choices and my perspective. The 7 habits of highly effective people is helping me somewhere around the corner because the thing I was mostly struggling with was to put first things first and I could see a significant improvement in my quality of work in later part of the year when compared to term 1 of the academic year 2019-20.

The death activity, the letter writing activity, the beach activity, the potlucks, the laughs, the cries, the perspective sharing, the movie watching, the little things series,the dance breaks will always be the memories I will cherish forever. Thanks for the wonderful journey throughout.<3

The first class started with getting to know each other. Each and every activity was very interesting and fun to do. It was a very beautiful learning experience. The habits were taken up in connection to the real life connections. The entire planning, venues and content along with surprises was done keeping in mind the life learning experiences for the participants. Practical based applications played a major role in the entire class. The facilitators Swati Ma’am and Varsha Ma’am did their best possible in all the sessions. They made a point that all participants gave their contribution in the activities and participated well. They kept motivating us all the time. They shared real life examples to keep the participants engaged and learn various things from the sharing experiences.

7 Habit Beta Class taught a lot of things that are important for personal as well as professional life.

We look forward to such wonderful times again 🙂

“One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others want you to be, rather than being yourself.”
― Shannon L. Alder

There is no doubt that the majority of people in the world are knowingly or unknowingly living a life which is not what they aspire for. A life driven and guided by someone else or may be to make someone or some people happy. This is a harsh reality and even if we ignore it, the bitter truth remains. Among all this chaos and hustle-bustle comes a breeze of fresh air in the form of life classes that we have in our school. It has been three years, we have been a part of these classes but we still feel butterflies in our stomach thinking about the next session. It’s not only the learning and new approach that we have acquired towards life through these sessions, but more than that it is the relationships that we have developed during the course that we cherish. We all are a part of Integrity class and have thoroughly enjoyed each and every session this year which began with the discussion of our prime thoughts and its possible effects in our lives. It was an eye opening session as we got to know the probable reasons of our certain behaviours which were unexplained earlier. We also discussed our personal and professional problems at great length and that was possible only because of the immense trust and respect that we have for everyone in the team. We listened to everyone patiently and analysed every problem critically and came to a unanimous conclusion so as to help everyone come out of any distressful situation they are in with a promise to follow it. But, alas the icing on the cake was the visit to the orphanage of differently abled which was a true realisation of why it is important to count your blessings. All the discussions and cribbing about our slightest discomfort in life looked so trivial in front of the challenges these people are facing. We spent a couple of hours with them and it was a pure joy to serve them or help them in whatever way we could. It was a lump in the throat moment to witness them savouring the simple meal or singing their favourite songs with panache. It was a moment of a lifetime and we left that place with a heavy heart and a promise to see them again. It is impossible to forget the lessons we learned and the camaraderie that we shared throughout the year and it will remain with us forever. I hope we continue to share the same bond and same members in the upcoming life classes next year with new goals, new insights and more wisdom.

The journey of learning seven habits was exhilarating. I loved the part when we were sharing our experiences, including facilitators, which made me feel blessed to have such a wonderful life. Although I was following few habits but the sessions made it more explicit and provided new strategies to implement these habits in a more effective way. The engagements were very interactive but it could be more fruitful if we get more real life application. I enjoyed the beach visit and skill building sessions. Concluding, I would like to thank the facilitators for investing their time for my development.

FEAR has two meaning:-

Forget Everything And Run

OR

Face Everything And Rise

I choose second one and I succeed in that just because of my both facilitators (Sanjana ma’am and Aiymen ma’am) and my team members. I love the kind of people who help you expand your life, learn new things and grow consciously. My both facilitator did the same. After knowing my fear I realized that what you fear will not go away by constantly thinking , It will go away when you see it for exactly what it is.

This was life changing experience which needs lot of passions and control of my mind, that is quite difficult for me but I am doing it gradually I know I will overcome to it.

I must not fear, Fear is mind killer, I will face my fear, I will permit it to pass over me and through me, And when It has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain- By Frank Herbert.

Heartily Thanks to FS and both my facilitator to give me chance to change my life.
