7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners


After reading the 7 1/2 habits, I reflected on all of them for a while to figure out what I do well with and which ones I need to improve. My easiest habit is accepting responsibility for my own learning. I am a self motivated and self disciplined learner and will work at something until I get it as perfect as possible. The sky is the limit, and we are the only ones who get in the way of our goals and dreams. If there is something I want to achieve, all I need to do is make my mind up, and accomplish it! This can be applied to various areas of my life.

With that being said, I also came to the realization that I need to play more. I am a serious person, and because I hold myself accountable for my successes and set backs, I spend long hours perfecting my skills. I made a promise to myself, that I must stop every now and then to enjoy the simple things in life. If I plan on taking on the next challenges, I must have a fresh and open mind. I am only going to live once. My kids are only going to have one Mom. I must allow myself  time to re energize my soul and love on my family and friends.

I am committed and excited to take on the challenges of this course.
