An inspiration from "Life of Pi"

An inspiration from "Life of Pi"

The book “Life of Pi,” by Yann Martel is an excellent representation of adaptability. It shows how your circumstances force you to evaluate or reinvent perspectives in life and the choices you’ve made. 

Sometimes these evaluations or reinventions are done by choice. Other times they’re forced upon you – asking you to become adaptable. 

So are you ready to push yourself out of your comfort zones and master "the Power of Adaptability?" Continue reading the next stash for the Action Plans.

WHAT IS ADAPTABILITY?

WHAT IS ADAPTABILITY?

  • It’s your willingness to learn, make mistakes, and learn some more.
  • It’s your ability to render adequate feedback and make adjustments or changes in your behaviors that produce positive and productive results.

ACTION PLAN: Ponder about any situation or experience which you've been through and the necessary adjustments you've made to bring positive development in you.

Example:

Experience: I have a sedentary lifestyle

Changes I have made: Adopting a healthier lifestyle like regular exercise (morning sessions of athletic run for an hour) and mindfulness about eating healthy.

ADAPTABILITY CAN BE FOUND OUTSIDE OF OUR COMFORT ZONE

ADAPTABILITY CAN BE FOUND OUTSIDE OF OUR COMFORT ZONE

The 4 levels of Adaptability

The Comfort Zone (Ah...The soft cozy bed of our room...Mum's yummy recipes made with love for you!)

The Learning Zone (Where our ambitions and dreams hang out and party!)

The Panic Zone (Frustration...Panic....Ups and Downs kicks in...aka The Rollercoaster Journey!)

The Magic Zone (Or The Mystical Unknown...Where you unlock your highest potential!)

Gary Gagliardi tells us that to get to the Magic Zone we have to become more adaptable and that act requires great courage, tenacity, and experimentation.

Develop a "growth mindset"

Develop a "growth mindset"

The fixed mindset is when you believe you’re either good/capable or not good/capable of something. That talent alone creates success, regardless of effort.

The growth mindset is when you believe that anyone can be good at anything and that your skills and abilities are because of hard work, practice, and action.

Remember we all are journeying forth in this amazing path of growth! To strive to become the best version of ourselves....Everyday we are evolving...Everyday we are being better and more beautiful than yesterday!

Action plans on achieving growth mindset

Action plans on achieving growth mindset

  1. Always try to learn something new. Especially something unfamiliar or confusing to you.
  2. Focus on the process of achieving goals and not the outcome like preparing healthy meals every day and working out consistently and not losing 20 pounds in 2 months.
  3. Believe that your passion and purpose come from handwork. Like Mark Cuban says, “Don’t follow you passion, follow your effort.”
  4. Create a list of things you need to improve or get better at.
  5. Accept and learn from constructive criticism.
  6. Get inspired by the achievements of others and their stories of growth.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum
