Umm, why is it that everyone likes to classify any formula or framework in 7's? Deepak chopra has 7 spiritual laws, Stephen covey has 7 habits and Tony has 6. I think context is very important. I have been a staunch supporter of the Covey's 7 habits uptill very recently but then came out the secret and made me think, how does this fit into the 7 habits?

How about covey's 4 unique endowments of awareness, free will, consciences and imagination? Do they figure to be some where in Steve’s 7 principles? My take on what the principles are :-

1) The will to Meaning/context - derived from viktor Franklin’s school of thought
2) What you want /desire
3) Learning to focus on what you want and not on what u don't want - LOA
4) The law of the farm / action gets result approach/The law of total responsibility/ Being proactive
5) Need for change/ need for stability
6) The golden rule - justice, fairness, honesty, integrity
7) Contribution and Growth alignment- you get only when you give
