4 Questions from Stephen R. Covey
Everyone has access to the exact same wisdom within themselves. What differs is the pace and path taken to open our eyes, wake up, expand perception, shift to do and be what matters most.
It is said that everyone is lost until they grow aware and tap into that special something that naturally allows joy to flow within. Focusing here on this thing consistently, aligning thoughts, words and actions with this is the key to existence. Yet, how can one really know what this is?
Take a moment to reflect on who inspires, guides you to grow more intimate with yourself.
Perhaps Stephen R. Covey is one inspirational mentor who jumps into mind. Renowned leadership authority, family expert, teacher, organizational consultant, and co-founder of FranklinCovey Co., he is author of several international bestsellers. He was a master teacher because he was first a master student.
Dialogue, interactions and relationships created his school of life without walls. He admitted he never presented new concepts but succinctly put information together and synthesized it for people. His books include The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Powerful Lessons in Personal Change) & The 8th Habit (From Effectiveness to Greatness) and First Things First.
In a book called A Time Conscious Life, a compilation of his insights, four questions stand out:
-
*What questions can you ask yourself to keep learning (&/or unlearning or letting go)?
*What knowledge can you gain by asking the right questions?
*What life changes can you make by embracing the knowledge you discover?
*What discipline is needed to make those changes part of your true character?
Allow yourself to surrender, feel the way into the next chapter of your life. When you stop fighting yourself, and listen to the heart, you soon realize so much more than what you think exists and beckons you to branch out. Go ahead-expand into more of your gifts and true genius.
