HOW TO BE A GAME CHANGER?

                             

 

My Humble Pranams to all...!! So here is the question on how to transform one’s life and be a game changer and the answer is through Self Improvement. Personal growth is a lifelong process and to make oneself better there should always be a constant learning in life. It will increase personal ability and also improve one’s character and potential. Besides, it also provides ability to realize one’s dream and provides us a reason to look forward to the next day and eventually makes one to accept oneself more. Here are a seven key tips to improve one’s quality of life inspired from Self improvement by Stephan Covey . First, one needs to learn to be proactive and not be reactive. For example: we might have born in a middle-class or have an abusive partner or we might have some illness or someone constantly mistreats us or simply temperature around us might be bothering but focussing on all these will not change our life instead we must only focus on things which can be controlled and this way we can bring more power into our lives. Second, to be successful we must create things twice, once in mind and next in reality. For some people who are in drugs or in any life problem they even stop thinking to create things in mind and they think only about the negative outcomes of situations. Visualisation is a key factor of acheving success. Third we must begin to prioritize things, for example most people spend time doing unwanted stuff and later lament that they have no time for themselves. Fourth is to surround oneself with people whom we look up to as inspiration and get rid of any toxic situations or people. Fifth is to remove ego and understand situations from other perspective. Everyone in this world will have their own opinions based on their experiences. Understanding others views doesn’t come naturally but when we start doing we will build many successful relationships. Sixth is to work in a group as working so will help to increase productivity. For example: our brain, stomach or heart can be complex organs by itself but when they work together, they are extremely effective. Last key aspect is we must invest in oneself wisely considering all factors that surrounds us and draft out effective plans to reach our goal smartly. Examples of investing wisely can be investing in one’s health rather than ending up spending more money in treatment later or even teaching someone could help to sharpen our minds which is indeed far better than reading a book. One more instance could be giving least importance to time as in this case: a woodcutter cutting down a tree with a very dull saw and it costed him 6 hours to cut down the tree instead if he had chosen to sharpen his saw, he could have saved 2 hours which many people neglect to do.Meaningful Life doesn’t just happen we must cultivate it in various areas in order to be successful. Recalling on Will Smith quotes, “I want the world to be better because I was here.” I hope we all self-reform ourselves and hence change the life around us.!
