How?

Any process of changing your life often centers on how to develop intuition and wisdom in balance, you may need to do little more than learn how to say No clearly and establish boundaries. Ask yourself:  Why personal growth and development? Is personal growth and development currently important?  Why is personal growth and development currently important?  What is intuition in relationships?The 7 Words System is defined by the idea that in all the complexity of human relationships, there are only seven core gestures of communication.

Here is the fundamental suggestion behind 7 Words—that there are seven basic qualities of life experience, including personality profile and compatibility, which can be described by 7 primary words:

No       Hello       Thanks      Goodbye       Please       Sorry        Yes

The 7 primary words are accessed by 28 keywords: for example, No’s keywords are these:  Boundaries  Identity  Choice  Truth, those for Hello are:  Attention   Openness   Exchange   Communion and so on.

responsibility, importance, plan, advice, tips

The 7 aspects of expression are the essential themes within all things—they convey the necessary stages that healthy exchanges go through because they are the foundation of all thoughts, ideas and behaviours. Their presence and use are signs of a person committed to personal change and growth. By deepening our understanding of these words, we can come to clarity, truth and completion in all our dealings and our personality compatibility with everyone in our lives. The 7 words can develop in us a mastery of communication that enables us to focus our minds, to speak our truth, and to thrive in all our relationships. Soon we find ourselves being more effective in all areas of life, as we come to experience an impeccable sense of what is happening and what is needed in any situation.

This is true of so many aspects of life—from self-awareness, personal development, career guidance and business efficiency, to establishing and maintaining loving relationships, seeking cooperation, taking responsibility and enjoying all that life has to offer—because the system is universally applicable.  For example, it can be applied to all aspects of changing your life, including personal change and growth, professional growth, resources to support personal growth and development, even how to develop intuition.

intuition, life, responsibility

The work we are engaging with has to begin with  ourselves. It is hardly reasonable to suppose that we can offer any meaningful  service to help deal with humanity’s mental imperfections unless and until we  have acknowledged a personal need to rebalance our own distortions of thinking.  This requires self-examination and the soul-searching that goes with it. It’s  also important to get some honest feedback from another impartial, observer  lest we fall into Nasrudin’s self-delusion and look at ourselves in the mirror  of our own conceit. Each of us has been pulled and pushed by the influential  forces that shaped our lives. Each of us, as a result, has grown to be less  than perfectly clear in our behaviour and other communications. Can we now  reverse this process?

Perhaps  such questions are secondary to a more important one: ‘Are we willing to  try?’ The self-examination questionnaire will give some insights into  contours of personality. It requires a degree of intuition and self-reflection  based on an honest appraisal of ourselves in answer to the questions. From  this, we can learn something about who we are by bringing awareness to our  strengths and we can become more conscious of the way in which we may be able  to use them to help in situations where another person has lack. Also, by  developing a truer sense of our weaker areas, we can train ourselves to make  more of an effort to work with issues and develop a more rounded character.

For  example, if we find we are not strong on Thank You, we can introduce into our  lives the conscious intention to express appreciation of others. We can perhaps  begin with those we love, by offering a little gesture of affection—a touch, a  word, or a postcard from the seaside—because the thought will be appreciated.

One  of the primary benefits in developing self-awareness is to become able to shape  our lives according to our own values instead of repeatedly attempting to live  out someone else’s ideas about what life is for, and how it should be lived. If  we continually feel ‘not quite right’, ‘not totally fulfilled’, okay  I suppose’, then perhaps we can find out what can be done to change this  instead of just carrying on assuming that we have to put up with something that  goes against the grain of our deepest being. 

A Native American grandfather  was talking to his grandson about how he felt about a tragedy. He said, “I feel  as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry,  violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.” The grandson  asked him, “Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?” The grandfather  answered, “The one I feed.”    Native  American Indian story
