I agree that being proactive is crucial to success. Let there be some scope for criticism too. You can achieve a lot by being proactive. However, if you try to control events beyond your control, that is sabotage. It is known as perfectionism and perfectionism is harmful to success. For some events, we cannot do anything and they are beyond our control.
There are disadvantages of high internal locus of control:
THIS MAN IS THE REAL DEAL.! HIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT. AND ALTHOUGH I LIKE TONY ROBBINS BOOK AS WELL, I THINK STEPHEN COVEY’S BOOK IS MORE ORGANIZIED AND PRINCIPAL ORIENTED.. i LIKE HIS BOOK BETTER THAN TONY ROBBINS.
Covey’s Seven Habits are a simple yet powerful action plan to embark on a true journey of personal growth and performance improvement. As said in the video, the prerogative we all have to choose our responses encloses one of the key factors for achieving success and wellness. Also, our capacity to change our past (meaning the way we look at it), is what allows us to change our future.
It is hard to find a secure answer to success in my opinion. I like watching these videos to determine how I can apply some of these useful psychological information that can help me in my own ventures. Looking at how others have advanced can help me strive for my own success.
I lost my father at the age of 15, and as a result, my life went into a tailspin. This man, more than any other, has changed my life. Thank you Dr. Covey for making a difference in the lives of millions!
@hareeshgnair listen to Eckhart Tolle. I personally think its both – we have free will to choose but are also conditioned by our past on a subconscious level.
The praises of many gurus tend to fade in time but 7 Habits just keep on being relevant from decade to decade. Well conducted interview with whom we can call the greatest productivity expert in the World.
Do I really have a choice? When I respond or choose; who leads me to the choice I make? Is it I; is it my past – what i was taught, what experiences I had since by birth? What choice did I have for that teaching and life experiences?
I don’t know or I have a feeling that I had no choice from the beginning.
LeahPerfectLife : I firmly agree. Listen carefully to the video.Its IMPACT IS INDEED ALL REALISTICALLY TRUE TO WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR LIVES now and the FUTURE.

We are the product of our choices – we have the power to reinvent oneself – unconditional love is a HUGE force. Thanks for those reminders.
