This is the truth a person with high emotional quotient understands better than most
In the Infinite Game of life , the most important lesson we should learn is to collaborate with others to reach the destination and keep playing the infinite game of life or business.
Alone is depressive and never can give us fulfillment.Unless and until we collaborate with others we cannot get a macro view that is so needed in the modern day world based on “right brain” conceptual thinking.
To actually be able to collaborate we need to shed egos and ask for help at the right time to the right person to be able to float together.
The following quote from Simon Sinek endorses this very fact:
“To overcome our challenges all that is required is the COURAGE to ask for HELP.”

Analyzing the deep meaning associated with this quote
Let us analyze the deep meaning behind the following iconic quote of Simon Sinek:
“Excitement comes from the achievement.
Fulfillment comes from the journey that got you there.”
Excitement is like an addiction that can be stimulated by attainment of short term targets and results in a shot of dopamine.This is never long lived though and the addiction mentality seeks for more awards.
Whereas fulfillment is always in the long term without focusing on short term addictive targets.Fulfillment can happen when we realize the power of social bonds and engage in a long term journey.Fulfillment results in flow of “love hormone” named Oxytocin.

This is the biggest difference between “finite” & “infinite” minded work environments
Finite minded work environments are ones where individuals are pitted against each other to meet short term goals and targets.These are places where organizational politics exist due to people fighting against each other.
On the other hand in infinite minded work environments , people have a sense of purpose and are constantly looking to outplace themselves by the day without focusing on competition.This is why these teams end up being high performance teams..
