Self Leadership_Pravin M Gayakwad_BLP 018_Oct 2012


Body, Emotion, Mind , Intellect, Soul, and Ego are the 6 layers of self leadership & if one wants to understand himself in better way, it’s very important to have synchronization between these 6 layers. There should be balance between what we speak & what our mind wants to say & it only happens when we get the better clarity about ourselves. So, self realization is the only way to get peaceful & meaningful life.
Our session started with the concept of Intellect and we started understanding the power of intellect through a process that one should follow while making decision in life. One needs to look for meaningful and reliable information, followed by creative and doable alternatives. We did an exercise to understand our own fear inside and how to overcome it through comprehension and awareness about it. A separate discussion on value and mission of life through a few questions helped us to clarify our mind about our future goal.

We got a wonderful opportunity to learn about the concept of “Ladder of Inference” coined by Peter Sengi. It is a tool to be aware of how one’s action has sub-layers that determine the cause of the action and how one creates perception about his own thinking.

What is courage & why it needed? I learnt that courage is not the absence of fear; but it is the realization of something that is more important than other. We watched the video of Mathieu Ricard on happiness, in which he spoke about attaining happiness and happiness is nothing but a state of being. Finally, we learnt about a very powerful tool called “Immunity X-ray”, which is a scientific way to understand one’s own thought and getting rid of unproductive habits. It also involved understanding the way the challenges, mental blocks and the way to action which the one aspires for.

After the self leadership class, I got better clarity about the where happiness lies & importance of courage to achieve the same. I learnt that the real happiness lies in doing something for the community/ society. So, realization of higher purpose of life is very important. I got better clarity & now I am ready with a mindset to achieve my higher purpose.

“Success is final and failure is not fatal, but it’s the courage to continue that counts”.
