Excellent life class.Totally worth it!

To begin with, I had heard alot about LIFE CLASSES during my training period about how these classes have changed their perspective or way of thinking . Which always made me wonder how this can actually be possible ? How can only sharing change your thought process ? ……But YES, I can say that now, it actually happened.

In this class, I learned that proactive language can make positive changes in your behavior and  it actually makes you feel powerful by taking charge of your life.

Another important thing that I learned is a Paradigm shift. It occurs when you change your perspective about something to understand other persons’ situations.

I have read about 7 habits but I learnt implementation during life classes : TO BE PROACTIVE, TO BEGIN WITH END IN MIND, TO PUT FIRST THING FIRST. And also how these habits can bring positive changes in your personal as well as professional life. 

A perfect picture of ‘Perfect Life’ and what’s stopping me from it.

“trust no future, however pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead!” live in present!! no past & no future

As Past is history and Future is mystery but Present is gift so enjoy!!

Primary Greatness Character, Value, Morals

Secondary Greatness Money, Position, Respect, Image, Popularity

Secondary greatness is important but not at the cost of Primary greatness.

The way we see the world is as if all the problem we face is all because of others but we never see their end of things maybe sometimes their story is way beyond our imagination we just need to be calm and either try to communicate may be the way of judging get changed.

Here we come with 1st habit  Be Proactive.

In any negative situation either we can react or we can respond.

we just need to take a pause is it really worth it, do our reaction will really change that situation if not than its better to just except it and respond accordingly.

Proactive people understand the we as a human, holds responsibility for our own lives. Its our own call whether to take initiative or responsibility for our life.

Then we came to know about Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence through which we come to know what actually we can control and what we cant as Swami Gopal Das said Birth, Death, and The Circumstances we face during life is not in our control what is there in our control is how we respond to this situations and what choices we make so we have to focus on solutions rather than complaining about problems.

Here we come with 2nd habit Begin With The End In Mind.

here we realise how things seems so small at the time of death what actually matter at time are the things we are least bothered about now.

Clarity about Vision and Mission and what actually they mean to us and how we should proceed. A clear idea of what type of person I am and around whom my life revolves and what kind of person i should be.

Principal Centered  to look at the balanced whole considering every factor and try to come up with best solution where no ones need is sacrificed.

it also states that whatever goal you make the end product should be there in mind as it is said that every winner wins twice 1st in mind and then in reality.

Here we come with 3rd habit Put First thing First

To achieve any goal you need to prioritise which work is to be done first and what is more important and these we have bifurcated into 3 things 1. Rock  2. Pebbles  3. Sand

• Rocks are the task which are most important
• Pebbles are the task which are important but its OK if it is delayed
• Sands are the task which u can do in your free time

Then we came across the concept of Emotional Bank A/C

As in bank we deposit money and withdraw it same way in any relation we have to deposit (love, Compassion, understanding) and we withdraw (Complains, Fights and Blaming) and there should be balance between them only withdrawal leads to breakups.

Thanks Ravindra Agrawal and Vaishali Patel for this wonderful session

I would like to share my incredible experiences of 7 Habit+Love Class.” The sessions helped to start the journey of self-discovery. Learning about being proactive taught me that I have the power to choose my responses to life’s challenges. I feel more in control, confident, and capable of facing any situation that comes my way. The time management aspect of the 7 Habits was an absolute game-changer for me. I learned to identify my priorities, set clear goals, and manage my time effectively. The Classes were a revelation for me, especially the segment on empathic listening. I realized that while I thought I was a good listener, I often found myself lost in my thoughts during conversations. Learning to listen with genuine empathy. I am now more patient and understanding, and I see how this simple change has made a positive impact on my interactions. The sessions allowed me to explore the concept of self-love and self-care in a profound way. I understood the importance of nurturing myself, mentally, emotionally, and physically.  The classes helped to embrace personal growth, and cultivate love and empathy towards ourselves and others. we are incredibly grateful to have been a part of this empowering experience.

After asking people about “life classes” and seeing their reactions,(most were bad, ) I was a little shocked of they actually went, and had a paradigm shift.

 For the first few hours, all I was thinking is” why are we just doing Masti and goofing out ” ? But it was the feciltators’ activities and engagements that were so incredible,funny and appealing. We shared our emotions,feelings and stories; some were sad while others were hilarious. All in all we had a good time.

We learned about the 1st3 habits namely:

1. Be proactive

2. Begin with the end in mind

3. Put first things first

 

So, the 1st day we learned about paradigm shifts and how putting yourself in people’s shoes was so beneficial and how eye opening that was for me , I also saw  how various things affects your choices, their types; which of them you should or should not listen to (circle of influence/concern, inside out approach and outside/in)

Furthermore, we learned about a few things that we can control and those we can’t control.

Ex: time , past future (which we can’t) and those like exercise, habits (those that we can)

Throughout the session I was constantly reminded of the quote:

“Where there is a will there is a way”

 

The 2nd habit reminded me with about the math, language and uoi backward planning sheet. I’m sure it was influenced by MrCovey.

It also reminds us of our purpose of why are we doing what  are and how are we accomplishing(the plan) To reach our destination .

The 3rd habit focuses on prioratizing on  what is important and urgent, important but not urgent, urgent but not important and the unnecessary (phaltu) things in life.

That’s all I could recall otherwise,the time I spent was mostly fun( because I hate to dance) and the engagements were very creative and fun.

 

I didn’t think I’d say this but I’ll be waiting for the next round.
