Plan-Organize-Recreate: What is the Ultimate Mantra of Life?



In some or the other way, Bollywood has always taught us how to better organize. One such movie is ‘Go Goa Gone’. It is one of my favorite movies because it shows one of the best thinking patterns we all must follow. For anyone who doesn’t know- Luv, Hardik and Bunny are three best friends who are frustrated by their office lives. So, they go to Goa for a Break. In Goa, they end up partying late night in an isolated island. When they wake up in the morning, they discover that the island is full of Zombies. That’s when they come up with the best thinking pattern when ‘In Problem’. Let’s say, they ask themselves the three magical question:

1) What do I know?
2) What can I do?
3) What have I learnt?
These are real simple questions but they bring a lot of clarity to us, if we answer them seriously. This same question format will be the way I’ll write my blogs in future.
Sounds cool?

The first question implies what kind of knowledge we have about a particular problem. It refers as to past experiences regarding the problem. Also, what were our strategies of solving that problem.
The second question is the solution in itself. There are many things we can do to successfully solve our problems. But sometimes we feel stuck, we feel that there is no solution to that problem. Until we go out of the box, i.e. think about it from a different perspective. This different perspective is sometimes randomly given by a friend or a mentor or it just comes to you randomly. Most of the time, it comes unexpected. That ‘Eureka Moment’ is so beautiful in itself, isn’t it?
And if you haven’t thought of changing your perspective, to get out of something like a problem that’s something this blog will do to you! Change your perspective! Until, you really want to stay there in that problem, Make it your life and Stay stagnant with it.
The third question being equally important. What have you actually learnt through this process? I wrote it in the previous blog and I’ll repeat it as many times as it needs, until the importance of reflection in our lives is understood. If you don’t channel things out of your system, you won’t understand it better.
Whatever you have learnt new, must be discussed with either your family member or your friend or anybody you are comfortable with. It can be penned down too. Penning will be highly recommended because penning things down gives us access to that information. If you think penning down is crap, Have you ever read a piece of writing about something you wrote 2-3 years ago? That’s when you realize that you keep evolving. That’s when you realize that even if nothing remarkable happened in your life after writing that piece of writing, you still have evolved so much. The evolution of thinking patterns, of ideologies, of lifestyle, of perspectives.
Tell me, how do you feel when you experience that evolution?
I’ll leave you with that feeling.
To sum up,
Keep this in mind: Reflection implies Growth.
Next three blogs that I am going to write are about: How to better reflect on different aspects of Life?

So stay tuned with me! Because we are going to learn some amazing frameworks we can instantly apply in our lives.
We’ll meet again on Next Monday! Until then Share this blog and do let me know your reviews!

Vegetables or Ice-cream?

  I know what just came to your mind reading this blog, ‘Another blog with food in it?’ Well, not this one! What if I ask you, ‘Vegetables or Ice-cream? What will you choose?’ . . . If your answer is vegetables, I must appreciate your understanding and maturity! If your answer is ice-cream, then you might want to give it a thought. This is my all-time favorite question, because it goes beyond logic for me. In words of famous management professor Shri Kumar Roa, it’s a ‘Vegetable Moment’! Let me explain! Many a times in our life, we are stuck at these decisions where we need to choose. This choice is very difficult for us because on one side we have something that we want, we desire and on the other side we have something which we don’t, for an instance, want but we know that it’s the right thing to do.   Isn’t it similar to our childhood days?     I mean we knew vegetables are good for our health and our parents left no chance to make us e...

Plan-Organize-Recreate: How do we Deal with change?

credit: third party image reference If changes in life haunts you and you are least comfortable with changes, then this one is for you! Many of us find it difficult to change according to situations. This is because we are in some way or the other scared of changes. Some will say that, “Oh come on, I am not scared of changes, let it come I’ll face it all”. But, speaking frankly we all get little disturbed if things don’t work as per we expected them to be. Exactly, that’s what happens deep down we all have expectations of how things will go about in our life. But, as soon as some situations change and we find that nothing is going according to how we thought it would be and we resist changing according to it. In simple words, we resist change in our life. Psychiatrist Elizabeth Kubler explains this beautifully in her Kubler-Ross Model. The model explains the five stages of human emotions when something changes abruptly or when human finds it difficult to cope up with the change. The fi...

Plan-Organize-Recreate: If you find it difficult to stay with a good habit for long? You must read this!

Consider this situation: You read or watch something about staying fit then you decide that you’ll go for a run first in the morning. Why does it happen that some don’t even wake up for it, some wake up think about going but somehow the bed doesn’t leave them, some wake up and go for a run for a day but never continue that, some just go for a week and quit, some quit it after 15 days. Not many but a few people who continue this habit long enough to make it their daily lifestyle. They are the fitter ones. Also, those ‘not many but few’ who make such small but effective habits their ‘daily lifestyle’ are undoubtedly extraordinary. These people move forward from mediocrity and set examples for the society. However cheesy but inspiring this line sounds, majority don’t make up to it. Is it really that hard to bring change ourselves for good? Is it that difficult to create a wonderful lifestyle for ourselves? The thing is, wanting for a change is good. But, How do we make it to the destinati...
