A walk though dependency to Interdependency

As per ‘Steven Covey’, in his book ‘Seven Habits of highly effective people’, there are three stages in man’s development. Firstly is the ‘Stage of Dependence’ where he is dependent on somebody always. This is where we all start the Journey of life. Slowly he learns to take control of his life. He starts being responsible for his action. The second stage is of the ‘Stage of Independence’. Like always his actions are guided by his thoughts, good thoughts breed good action and evil breeds evil. He frees himself from his folks, slowly increases his self-esteem. This is the stage where he learns the greatest lessons of life. He is in total control of his activities. Yet he feels incomplete and confused. Finally, he moves to the ‘Stage of Interdependence’. In short it is the phase of ‘Living Life in its Completeness’. Now, his actions influence not only his life but also others. Their response in turns influences his future actions. He feels complete; the missing blocks are filled by the people around him. The soul secret of life lies in 3 stages of life, which leads to one complete lifetime. To feel this one has to live every moment from birth to death
