Recap of last week
What to do if a Relationship is rough?
We need to speak and listen honestly — Communicate
- Speak nicely.
- Speak only when something is good to others.
- Listen so you understand and not respond.
- Listen as though there is something to teach you.
Practice — Date with your parents
This week’s negative feeling — To overcome INSECURITY
- When not confident and unsure about ourselves
- Thinking about what others think about us
- We don’t feel good about ourselves
- We have a habit of comparing with others
Virtue to work on — VISION
Not just able to see things around us but the ability to see our own potential ie how we can grow and what we can unlock and become in the future, see what could be instead of what is
STORY- Adventure Time:
Princess Bubblegum asked Finn to speak at a brainiac convention. Finn was insecure because he didn’t think he was smart, so he tried to become smarter by trying to go to the library, and attending a college, which didn’t work. Then, by using the glasses of Nerdicon, Finn became very smart. The glasses represent the vision that you need to be able to see your potential and what you can be. When Finn became smart, he lost his heroic traits, which actually caused Finn to mess up the convention. In the end, Princess Bubblegum wanted Finn to be back to his normal self, and when he removed the glasses, he went back to his heroic self and saved the day.
We should not pretend to be someone else. No need to just try to fit in. Whenever we try to be like someone, we feel disappointed.
We have our own amazing capacity.
How do we unlock our potential?
How do we become what we can be?
We are all good at different things, and we are naturally good at some things.
How can I contribute to the world?
Push your comfort zone.
Two Steps to Unlock your Potential:
- To explore various things
- To reach and strive for our goals
Activity — Draw your future self.
Practice for the week– Cook a meal for your family
