Begin with End in Mind (Habit 2 Week) – Zero to Hero 100 days Personal Transformation Journey

எல்லா ஹீரோக்களுக்கும் ம் ஹீரோயின் களுக்கும் வணக்கம்.

Theme for the week, from today till next Friday (25th Oct), we are going to keep Begin with the End in Mind - Stephen covey Habit-2.

Couple of months back, I attended a management workshop.

There is one exercise wherein a group of blind people explaining about an Elephant by touching different sections of Elephant. Some touches the tail and says that it was like rope and some touches trunk and says it was like snake. Some says elephant’s leg as tree.

Similar to Elephant and blind man exercises, we all of us look at life as individual compartment and individual silos. We look at life in one or two compartment by keeping family, career, Spouse, possessions, work. If we keep work as a centre of focus, our health and family goes for a task. Similar way if we keep family as a centre, our career goes for a task.

This is where I can relate to yesterday’s discussion on what is our centre of focus. Our centre of focus is similar to The Sun. All planets are revolving around the Sun. Similarly we keep our main focus as the Sun and keep other balls in balance.

My close friend focuses on his career. He works 18 hours per day. In the process, he lost his health and family. Other friend of mine focuses her life in kid’s education and she lost her health. Their kids work in a totally different profession than their education.

Are we moving to cities by losing our core balls(competencies)?
Are we are slowly moving towards hell.
Are we losing our relationship?

Covey suggests looking at life in totality. I am attaching a wonderful 5 mins video of covey. Please watch it. That is the exercise for today.

We are as strong as Elephant’s strength. Even the great scientists, uses only 15-20% of our brain. Let us bring our whole strengths in all quadrant of life.

As discussed earlier, Aamir khan’s Satyameva Jayate says, “We are living 100 years life in 10 years”. Let us do a master plan 100 / 80 years’ life.

Lets revisit Covey’s 80th Birthday 5 mins video and let us visualize celebrating ourselves there and set our priorities to live a life in holistic way (முழுமையான வாழ்வு)
