Summary of The 8th Habit (Stephen Covey)
1. Find your voice
To find your voice means to engage in work that genuinely taps your talents and fuels your passion. It means to do something significant with your career- to sense an unmet need and then to fully harness all your talents and passion to meet that need. To find your voice means to take the path to greatness rather than settling for mediocrity.
Discover your own voice
One of the most frustrating things for the majority of people is the fact they rarely have the opportunity to realize a life of greatness and contribution. Instead, people spend the majority of their careers operating at a much lower level. They are aware of the tremendous challenges and problems which exist, but most people have not developed the internal power nor the moral authority to become a force in solving those problems.
To address this challenge, you need to find your own voice. When this happens, a fire will light inside you which will fuel tremendous drive and commitment. To be able to actually find your voice, however, you first need to understand a simple way of thinking about life.
A whole person has four basic components:
A physical body.A mind capable of independent thought and analysis.A heart which can feel emotion.A spirit – your soul or philosophical center.Each of these components has a corresponding basic need or motivation:
Physical body – “To live”.Mind – “To learn”.Heart – “To love”.Spirit – “To leave a legacy”.The highest manifestations of these capacities are:
Physical body – DisciplineMind – VisionHeart – PassionSpirit – ConscienceAs you begin to understand, respect and ultimately balance these highest manifestations for yourself, synergy is created. You become energized as you begin to understand what you’re actually capable of achieving. When you engage in work that taps your talents and fuels your passions, and which fills the need your conscience has drawn you towards, you find your voice. This is often described as “finding your true calling in life” or “unlocking your soul’s code”.
The human voice is unique and significant because it lies at the intersection of your own unique:
Talents – your natural gifts and strengths.Passion – those things that excite and enthuse you.Needs
