Week 7- Moving Forward with a Driving Passion

As I read the Summary of 7 Habits, I realized that I probably haven’t even read 7 habits cover to cover before. I have now out it on my reading list. 

Which of the 7 habits has the most meaning for you?

I think Habit #4 Think Win/Win and Habit #5 Seek first to understand and then to be understood. I think these are the two habits that I resonate with the most. 

I have always had the mindset since I was very young that I want to succeed, and I also want everyone else around me to succeed in life. Life should not be a competition. Life is hard enough with everything that goes on in the world today. We do not need to compete with each other to see who succeeds or not. If we lift each other up, we will all be successful. 

Seek first to understand and then to be understood also resonates strongly with me. I learned this principle on my mission: If people don’t know that you care about them. They will not care about what you know or what you would like to share with them. People want to be understood. They want someone to care to listen.  After their needs are met then and only then will they care about what you have to say.

Why will the 7 habits help you fill your life with passion and purpose as you seek to achieve both a private and public victory?

These 7 Habits will help me fill my life with passion and help me achieve both private and public victories by keeping me focused on the end goal. On what I want to achieve by the end of my life. They will give me a guide and a map to live by in order to reach my goals.
