There is such a lot to be learned from the seven habits, but all of it cannot be learned by simply reading. You have to actually make the effort to go out there and put it to use.
In this last chapter of the e-course, we shall sum up what we have learned and see how we can utilize these habits in other aspects of our life.
Learning the Game of Living Successfully
Your health is your chief asset. You are only as successful as you are healthy. This is one aspect of our lives that we should give the highest priority, but, sadly, there are a very few people who take care of their health.
It should be your constant endeavor to live in the most optimal way you can. Why should you compromise at anything? It is all within you—you can plan your life. Do not let it pass by you in a blur… that will only have you repent later about things that you could have done but did not.
And this applies to every aspect of your life—your personal life, your relationships, your family, your finances, your business, your education, your health, your spiritual life, etc. It is wholly within you to be the best at everything.
The seven habits are universally true. They have been designed by Stephen Covey in such a way that you can implement them in every aspect of your life. We have already seen how they can enhance three most important areas of our lives—our relationships, our work and our health.
But, the concept can be expanded to cover every other aspect of our life as well. There is nothing that the seven habits cannot reach and improve… it is within us to understand them and then unleash their potential on different domains that govern our lives.
Take stock of your life. You can be proactive and make the choice on what you want to do, whatever aspect of your life it pertains to. You can always prioritize and you should always start thinking keeping the end in mind.
You can always think in a way that is mutually beneficial to everyone because that is the way in which real progress lies. You must be better at communication and try to understand more than you try to tell.
Your focus should be on synergizing with every person you meet because that is what can multiply your potential. And you must always try to improve yourself from whatever you are already.
If you take care of these seven important habits, then you will find that the different areas of your life undergo a major improvement. Life becomes more meaningful and you start walking on the path of success unfailingly.
Wrapping Up
The seven habits are now all yours to use in whichever way you want. They are laid bare in front of you and now you know what you should do in order to unleash their potential in different aspects of your life.
Knowing that you can turn your life in a different way, will you want to sit back and let it unravel itself in front of you? Would you want to treat it like a box of assorted goodies in which you blindly plunge your hand and remove things one by one, not knowing what will come up next? Or do you want to take control of your life and make it go in the direction you want it to go?
There are plans to make, there are actions to take. Life isn’t going to wait until you wake up and smell the coffee. You have to do it yourself.
Start implementing the seven habits in your life as soon as you can. A whole new world of opportunity and success awaits you ahead!
