Here are some of my "aha" moments captured in the seventh week.
Quote: "Be true to yourselves, my dear friends. Be true to one
another, your friends and associates. Look for the good in those about you, and
emphasize that good. Never go around gossiping about your associates or
speaking unkind words concerning them. Such words will only backfire to hurt
you. Jehovah has commanded, “Thou shalt not bear false witness” (Ex. 20:16)." (Stand
True and Faithful- Gordon B. Hinckley)
Quote: “this is the “true and living church” of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose name it bears (see D&C 1:30). Be true to it. Cling to it. If you will do so it will become as an anchor in the midst of a stormy sea. It will be a light to your lives and a foundation upon which to build them.” (Stand True and Faithful- Gordon B. Hinckley)
Quote: “And finally, in all of living have much of fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” (Stand True and Faithful- Gordon B. Hinckley)
Quote:
Habit 1: Be proactive
Quote: “Achieving unity with ourselves, our loved ones, our friends and working associates is the highest and most delicious fruit of the 7 Habits. Building a character of total integrity isn’t easy but it’s possible. It isn’t a quick fix. By centering our lives on correct principles and creating a balanced focus between doing and increasing our ability to do, we become empowered in the task of creating effective, useful and peaceful lives.” (The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People- Stephen R Covey)
Quote: “Whatever you’re building, it’s about passion because you love it. If you love it and you changed the world you will be rich but you shouldn’t do it because you want to be rich..” (Passion vs Money- Guy Kawasaki)
Thoughts: I loved that Stephen Covey's Seven Habits extend to so many parts of life. They set you up to succeed in business, help build stronger relationships at home and encourage spiritual development. Balance in our lives is not an easy thing to achieve. Often it seems overwhelming or unreachable. I think this is especially important for entrepreneurs to learn. Business start ups are hard but should not be achieved at the expense of your relationships. Through study and planning, these Seven Habits can be used to find that balance in juggling the many parts of our lives. I think another important thing to keep in mind when seeking harmony is to cling to the gospel as Pres Hinckley recommends. This is not something we can afford to attempt on our own.
