Experiment and experiences(IM#152)

Life is all about experiments. Our actions are our experiments. With experiments emerge an experience.The only way to learn more experience is to have different experiences which inaugurate by performing different experiments.

The very nature of experiment is that there is a chance of doing wrong, but still we can make attempt with different actions. So variation play an important role here.If we follow the same principle every time, we'll get the same results every time. The only alternative is to endeavor all the possibilities.

Failure is not a state (IM#151)

Failure is not a state, it is the decision. Failure depends on how we decide to reconcile after that 'so called' failure.

If we decide to give up after the setbacks then it's a failure. But when we start to deal with setbacks and loss, we achieve success. We become broke, we learn, we adapt and we figure it out. This is how everything works.

Comfort is a drug (IM#150)

We always seek for easement and comfort in everyday of our life. So most of the time we just settle for less for the sake of comfort.

Someone said it beautifully, " Good is the enemy of best." Whenever we settle for comfort, we miss something great on the retrospect. And when we continuously seek comfort it become contagious; it becomes the habit. This results in lack of creativity and innovations.

Seeking comfort shrinks our true ability. So instead of seeking comfort, we must seek adventure; a life adventure.

'Being' Vs 'things'(IM#149)

These days, we value things too much than being. Does things really worth that value? Does it worth more than ourselves or 'being'?This is the generational question and it's way too difficult to answer. But it's worth answering.

It is said that when we no longer "feel" the life we live, we try to fill up our life with things. Loving things is just the substitute for loving ourselves. But it doesn't mean that we shouldn't have things. We can value and care for things but never get attached to it.

We often say that "this ring is not just the ring, it has got something more." "That watch is given to me by my mom- it is more than just a watch." or "That car is not just the car, it is my dream. That penthouse is more than my living place."I keep wondering how can a thing be so intimate than ourselves than our 'being'? And this is so tragic as well.

Setting the system (IM#148)

System is the set of actions, things, plans, ideas and information that is set to do in a certain way.

It's important to set the system in our life and business. An organization without system is just like a human with broken backbone, its doesn't last long.

A system might include the core values, purpose, art of dealing with people or the costumers and way of making decisions. It ranges from mission to color code of the employees in the business.

Setting the system is crucial as it determines the future of our organization and even ourselves.

The world of our own (IM#146)

Most of us are not living our own world. We believe in other's perspective on ourselves. We believe their criticize on our stuffs. It's so easy not to live in our world.

We plan and try to change outer environment. We focus on changing the world. But, we remain same. Our habits doesn't change, nor is the behavior. What changes is our words. And words do not have the power to change the world. It's the action that has that power.

The change is not "out there", it's "within". It's in our practice, our habits and actions. And there we meet the world of our own...

The logic of the game (IM#147)

We are all playing some kind of game in life. For some, it is the game of freedom. For others, it is security, success, love, innovation, or recognition. Even when people appear to be chasing the same thing, they are often driven by different inner motives. That is why lives can look similar on the surface while moving in completely different directions underneath.

The problem is that many of us lose sight of the game we are actually playing. Instead of living by purpose, we get distracted by temporary pleasures, shallow approval, and the endless pull of entertainment. We seek things that give quick relief, not because they fulfill us, but because they momentarily cover emptiness or confusion.

When purpose is unclear, distraction becomes attractive. We start chasing what feels good now rather than what matters over time. That is why so many people stay busy but still feel lost. Movement is not the same as direction.

The real logic of the game begins with knowing your "why". When your values, purpose, and direction become clear, your choices become clearer too. Without that inner orientation, life becomes reaction. With it, your actions begin to align with something deeper and more lasting.

Change the tactics not the strategy (IM#145)

Strategy is the moral and the main value of the game we are playing. It is the foundation of ourselves and our organization's commitment.

Tactics, on the other hand, is the technique we use to meet our commitment and promise.

Changing strategy leads us to new game. So if our goal is to remain in the same game then we got to change the tactics. We got to use new one, time and again.

We got to watch for the result from the old tactics and analyze it then find when to change it. Our goal here is to play the game we choose to play unshakably and for that we got to remain in the game.

We got to persist the resistance to change. Our persistence will finally shatter the defiance.

The rules of the game (IM#144)

To be a better player in the game we're about to play, first, we must know the rules of the game. Second, we've to play it efficiently and differently than any other players.

To be more efficient and unique following rules work as footstep:

  1. The game has to make sense: An illogical game will die before it ever exists. It should be logical followed by emotional commitment.
  2. Change the tactics of the game from time to time: Strategy should remain the same but the tactics must be updated time and again. The goal here is to anticipate the end before anyone else does.
  3. Never create a game for others that you're unwilling to play : People do what we do. They just follow others. If you are the responsible person then your action is admired. Also, if we don't follow our own rules of the game how can we expect other to follow ours?
  4. Never expect the game to be self sustaining: Nothing is sustainable. And in business dictionary, there is no word called- self-sustainable. Our business and organization keeps growing till we put tremendous amount of work.
  5. The game need to be fun from time to time: Even though, the game I'm talking about is a serious thing, there won't be same amount of enthusiasm if the game has no fun.

Our inner self (IM#143)

The work we do is often a reflection of who we are inside. If we are careless in our actions, there is usually some carelessness within us. If we are late in everything, there is often disorder within us. If we are bored by everything, there may be emptiness or restlessness within us. What appears on the outside is rarely separate from what is happening within.

It is easy to blame circumstances, other people, or the environment for the way we perform. But many of our external results are shaped by our internal condition—our discipline, our attention, our attitude, and our standards. The outer life is often a mirror. The quality of our work, speech, habits, and responses reveals something about the quality of our inner world.

That is why the deeper task is not only to fix appearances, but to improve the self that produces them. The most ordinary work can become meaningful when it is done with care, seriousness, and presence. In the same way, even a great opportunity can be wasted by a disordered mind. The problem is not always the world around us. Very often, it begins within us.

If we want to change what shows up in our life, we must also examine what is happening inside. How we work is a reflection of how we are. To improve the outer life, we must refine the inner self first.
