  • Shift to an Infinite Mindset

    Shift to an Infinite Mindset

    Why should you shift to an Infinite Mindset?

    The primary thing I am working on is to shift to an infinite mindset. This would me be purpose driven rather than pleasure driven.

    In his book The Infinite Game, Simon Sinek had introduced this concept wherein he encourages us to think of bettering ourselves by the day instead of comparing with others.

    This is the single most important skill needed to keep playing the game of life or business.

    The five key principles that define adoption of an infinite mindset have been highlighted below:

    1. Advance a Just CAUSE which acts as a GUIDING STAR for motivating ourselves.
    2. Constant endeavor to build trust at home and workplace wherein people feel psychologically safe in our company
    3. Respect , study and be prepared to learn from Worthy Rivals to keep playing the infinite game more effectively
    4. Avoid complacency & Prepare for Existential Flex which is run time disruption at a time things are going well. This helps us course correct as needed.
    5. Demonstrate the Courage to Lead

    Covid-19 was a great reality check for all those who always believe in WINNING. The pandemic has exposed us to uncertainties of life and made us realize the value of living every moment as if it were the last. Long story short, winning in life hardly matters.

    Life indeed is an infinite game wherein we are all players. The only option we have is to play with an infinite mindset. COVID 19 has taught us that life is neither a race nor is it a competition. It has indeed taught us to value our lives and our families.

    Simon Sinek’s work on The Infinite Game is mention worthy in this context.
