I sought a way to define conscious human development in similar terms. No matter where you are in your path of growth, your current position in the realm of consciousness can be plotted, so to speak, in terms of your alignment with a handful of principles. |
Naturally, we can't ask Steve what they are because he's got a deal with his publisher not to reveal them earlier. The first public unveiling of these seven principles will be during the "I can do it!" seminar in June/July.
However, the rest of us could have some fun just guessing what they are! Then when the info comes out in a few months, we could see how close - or how far off we were from guessing those principles! Whoever gets the closest wins!
Here is my
quick stab at it. Four to start with.
-
Principle of Desire - you must want it, and you must figure out why you want it.
-
Principle of Momentum - you keep doing what you've been doing because you've built up the habit of going forward. This refers to daily taking action toward your goals.
-
Principle of Honesty/Integrity - by being honest with yourself on where you are, you are able to figure out where you are and move from there.
-
Principle of Creativity/Imagination - Learning to see what does not yet exist so that you can see your life as you wish it, and also use it to creatively find solutions to get your life where you wish it.
What other principles could be considered? What would be the 7 independent principles that are fundamental to all Human Development?
