Sometimes I wished life was more gamified but then again getting rewards for doing meaningless stuff doesn't seem like a practical thing to do.
Gamification does help with being motivated to continue the grind but if you aren' motivated to keep improving and grinding in what you are doing maybe you shouldn't do it in the first place.
I am just rampaging about gamification because I am watching Final Fantasy XV gameplay and it's looking great. I love RPG's.
Video games are a great medium for telling stories. Role-playing video games let you level up the skills you practise over time while you follow a story. In real life you almost never get clear indications how good you are doing when you set long-term goals unless you have the kind of task that can be tracked with statistics.
Soft skills are not that easy to gauge process on unless you learn how to calibrate people state of mind. We all have a level of empathy and when we cultivate that and take feedback that we get from interacting with people over time we can gauge others state if being.
That demands a holistic and abundance mindset. It's not about trying to get people to do things against their will. God, those youtube videos of people who just try to exploit other people get so many likes and for what? What do you get from it in the long run. Those people seem to get all the good stuff but you don't see how they are living the rest of their life.
Even "success" is something that is different for everybody. The parameters for success are different for everybody. We have other criteria for success and happiness so defining it for other people and judging them on our own criteria of success and happiness can do some serious damage to a relationship.
Overall playing it nice and being great at playing along with other people that have the best interest in you with get you on new levels of opportunities and even bigger games to win.
Let's play.
