Course 3: PL 102 - The Problem is the Path (Discussion 1)

@GlenM

1. Watch the following video and identify 3 things in your circle of concern, 3 things in your circle of influence, and 1 thing you can do to remind yourself to focus on your circle of influence.

My Circle of Concern - 1 , Health for me and my Hubby and Son 2. Finances 3. Family Members Drama

Circle of Influence - 1.Focus on taking better care of my own self I can not control what they do only me. 2. Watch what i spend money on. 3. Steer Clear of the family drama and not engage or be around them.

Remind Myself - That I can control some things but others I can not.. Stop expanding my circle !!

2. Next, watch the following video and highlight what stands out to you about this executive? What did they do that would be considered proactive as opposed to reactive?

He was proactive and focused on his circle of influence and read through the situtaion and he compensated them and empathized .. He made weakness Irrelevant .. recommendations .. his circle expanded and his strength seen as success . great leadership skill !!!

Bonus: Check out chapter 8 of the book 7 Cups for the Searching Soul (more in the next discussion) for a deeper dive into learning more about accepting what we cannot control.

LOVE THE BOOK !!! - Chapter 8 talks about worrying and stressing and how it affects us and how to work on how we deal with things using Mindfulness is one way - which I will say I knew nothing about until coming to 7cups 2 years ago. Taking care of ourself is so important and letting go of things that we can not control and not stressing over things .. Controlling things is not gonna happen only very few things .. we wear ourselves out mentally and physically.

We do need to deal with Problems but some problems we can make up and then feed the problems and believe they are real when some are not really problems at all.

Peace and Love, Tye

1. Watch the following video and identify 3 things in your circle of concern, 3 things in your circle of influence, and 1 thing you can do to remind yourself to focus on your circle of influence.
Circle of concern - Health, relationship, education and finance
Circle of influence - Caring for my loved ones, reach my educations, goals needs and achievements
To remind myself to focus on my circle of influence is that to priorities focus on the things that influence, control, or change, rather than the things that I have not said over.

2. Next, watch the following video and highlight what stands out to you about this executive? What did they do that would be considered proactive as opposed to reactive?
To stand out about this executive, I need to avoid talking about what we are not, allow ourself to be vulnerable, and sharing story about myself. They would be required to be be proactive which requires looking ahead and planning for the potential mishaps, shortages, or consequences stemming from what we are do. It will prove our good leadership with bad leadership, by not hiding ourselves who we are in nature and speak with honesty by accepting our flaws.

Check out chapter 8 of the book 7 Cups for the Searching Soul (more in the next discussion) for a deeper dive into learning more about accepting what we cannot control.
Chapter 8 I understood the explanation about anxiety and stressing which affects us, but also understanding the outline of working for its solution to deal with mind games and awareness. Learnt that we got to take care of ourself is so essential for letting go of events of our life which cant be control when its already done in past, we need to accept what happened and be aware for forward future to avoid repeats of mistakes done out can be physical events or mental events. In conclusion we do need to understand to deal with problems which can be made up for better future, rather then complaining about it or bragging about it.

Concerns: (1) Finances (2) Health of my parents and finally (3) The environment!

Influences: (1) Start budgeting (2) Try to take care of my parents and make sure they're taking the proper medication (3) Try to use things with less packaging.

@softMusic9759

Short and nice answer, Music I wish you the best in your journey ahead

@softMusic9759

Synthetic and to the point !

@GlenM

My concerns: my child's safety, financial affair, our inhabitability.
What I do: my child goes to an other city into a school, but I entrust it in him, how is able to look after himself.
I listen very much on the space of a financial affair, that by the time I write poetry.
I can do only so much in connection with our inhabitability that we should take care of the place where we live just.

@GlenM

Hi! How are you?

My circle of concern involves my loved one s well-being, my education and goals, and 7 Cups itself.

My circle of influence involves me caring for my loved ones, meeting my education and goals s needs and milestones, and keeping up with 7 Cups.

I can try to remind that I can expand the right circle. I can also balance my life to meet all that I want to meet, and I can keep caring, but taking breaks if needed.

What makes him stand out and being proactive are his actions. He focused on his circle of influence, doing what he needed to do, being hard-working and clever, and being efficient. He was proactive because he didn t react to the situations: the situations reacted to him. He was proactive because he studied and shaped the circumstances.

@Daf8 I like that - "the situations reacted to him." that is a smart way of saying it!

@GlenM

Awww, thank you! I highly appreciate your kindness

@Daf8

Great and informative answers, Daf8! Hugs

@shiningSound31

So kind of you! *Hugs*
