Making life changes

'Amazing transformation' of Rahul Gandhi, says Omar Abdullah,  referring to the change in Rahul after his 56 day sabbatical. He doesn't know where Rahul went, what he did, or what this transformation is down to.  But, says Omar, he would try to learn, because there were lessons to be learnt for himself as well.
He also hopes that it doesn't mean he has  to disappear for 56 days.

Life Lesson
The first step in our learning,  development and growth is to know what it is we want to learn. Though the last of Omar's comment may have been half in jest, it is a useful pointer to an understanding that in our desire to learn and grow, we may not necessarily follow the exact steps and process our inspiration may have followed. 

A useful process for change is to develop a foundational theme around which we want to grow our competence.  The foundational theme serves as a core around which we can weave our everyday experiences of listening, understanding, talking, writing and reading. The themes make learning holistic, and help to tailor the lessons to suit our needs and personality.

Some of the themes  could be;

Courage/Fear
When you have unrealized dreams, but hesitate to go after them in the fear of disrupting what you already have.

Habits
This one can be used when you are disorganized and seriously wishesto put your life in order and want to get rid of dis-empowering habits.

Personal Excellence
This one helps when you wish to improve the overall quality of your life and not just in a few specific areas.
