3 Game changers to Re-engineer our personality!

I would like to begin this blog with a quote from the International best selling author, Prof. Yuval Noah Harari. In his book, ’21 lessons for the 21st century’, he says “In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power”. Lack of focus then becomes the major weakness in all our endeavors, whether it is personal life or professional work.

80% of our lifetime is being spent on a few major roles, which can be counted on one’s fingers. In a constantly changing world with countless variables, the journey becomes complicated, if our habits are misaligned with our goals. Let us get familiar with 3 Game changers, which can be applied together to re-engineer our personalities and sail through uncharted waters, easily.

3 Game Changers

Game changer # 1 : STOP – These habits need to be stopped immediately, since they can act as impediments in our journey.

Game changer # 2 : START – This refers to the initiation of a new habit, which will take us closer to our set goals.

Game changer # 3 : CONTINUE – There could be certain habits, which we are already practicing and need to be continued.

Example in Personal life  ( Goal : To maintain good health )  

STOP – We need to ‘STOP’ the addictive smoking habit, which acts against our will. Many such habits, if not stopped in time, can start eroding our self-confidence.

START – A suitable exercise regimen immediately so that we can return the excess fat back to Mother Earth.

CONTINUE – The habit of keeping oneself well hydrated regularly.

Example in Professional work  ( Goal : To become an inspiring leader )  

STOP – The habit of micromanaging the tasks of the team.

START – Understanding the subtle differences between managing inert resources and leading talented people.

CONTINUE – The habit of praising in a team meeting and mentoring in private, as far as the team members are concerned.

If we need to stay relevant and focused, let us apply the 3 Game changers of “STOP – START – CONTINUE” in each of our roles together and re-engineer our way to success.
