Design Your Destiny

[00:00:06] So hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well and I warmly welcome you to the Happiness Painting Podcast.

[00:00:15] As the year winds down, there is a certain magic in the air.

[00:00:21] A chance to pause and reflect and an opportunity to dream about what is going to come in year 2025.

[00:00:31] Today, I want to take you on the journey into the future, a vision of what 2025 could look like for you and me.

[00:00:42] Before I proceed further, I want to thank my mentor Siddharth Rajshekar for crafting especially the goal setting strategy which I am going to tell you, stay till the end of this podcast because you are going to get that.

[00:00:58] For me, 2025 isn't just another year.

[00:01:02] It's a blank canvas ready to be painted with the intentional stroke of the balance, growth and the genuine connections.

[00:01:12] When I imagine it, I see myself standing at the crossroad of what I have built and what I am still building.

[00:01:21] I see a year where the chaotic noise of the busyness fades into the harmonious rhythm of a well-balanced life.

[00:01:31] I see relationships deepened, dreams realized and the challenges embraced with resilience.

[00:01:40] But let me start by sharing a personal story.

[00:01:45] This year especially wasn't very easy for me.

[00:01:48] There was the moments when I felt like I was spinning too many plates between work, family and my personal goals.

[00:01:59] One evening, I just sat in my quiet room with the blank canvas in front of me.

[00:02:05] I realized that my life was mirroring that empty space.

[00:02:10] I wasn't living with the intention from the longer period of time.

[00:02:15] I was simply reaching to what each day threw at me.

[00:02:20] That was the moment of clarity was my turning point.

[00:02:24] I picked up especially my brush and began to paint.

[00:02:29] Not with the goal of creating a masterpiece.

[00:02:32] What with the intention of expressing what exactly I wanted from my life.

[00:02:39] And surprisingly, it was a balance, growth and the genuine connections.

[00:02:45] As I painted, I realized these three elements, it was popping again and again in my ideas on my mind.

[00:02:54] They were achievable but only if I approach them with a clear plan.

[00:02:59] And so I began to craft my vision for 2025.

[00:03:04] Balance for me isn't just about splitting my time perfectly between the work and the personal life.

[00:03:12] Balance for me is much beyond that.

[00:03:16] It is all about inner alignment first of all.

[00:03:20] Then balancing my work, my personal life also, my health.

[00:03:26] Right?

[00:03:27] It's about being present wherever I am.

[00:03:31] It's about giving myself permission to rest when I need it and to push forward when I feel inspired.

[00:03:38] Growth is about learning into discomfort, taking risks and allowing myself to evolve in the ways that align with my own values.

[00:03:50] And the genuine connections, they are the core of everything.

[00:03:56] It's about surrounding myself with the people who inspire me, challenge me, uplift me and doing the same for them, especially whenever they need.

[00:04:07] This vision didn't come to me overnight.

[00:04:10] That was already within me but due to different priorities, it didn't, you know, especially came up.

[00:04:20] It was and when you are going through especially this podcast, you will realize it is a process especially.

[00:04:28] It's like the painting where we keep adding everything and actual masterpiece you will realize after some point of time.

[00:04:37] Same happens with our inner discovery also.

[00:04:40] So, we keep discovering one by one everything and then, you know, after our different process, we realize what exactly we want.

[00:04:50] And that's the strategy I want you to share.

[00:04:54] I want to share with you today for setting what you want from your life in year 2025.

[00:05:04] It all start with the dreaming, giving yourself the space to imagine what your life could look like a year from now.

[00:05:13] Picture the person you want to be, the experiences you want to have and the people or the relationship around you, you want.

[00:05:24] And you want and also not just about what exactly you want.

[00:05:29] It is about how you will nurture them also.

[00:05:33] Don't hold back.

[00:05:34] Let your imagination grow.

[00:05:36] Once you have that vision, break it down and ask yourself, what are the small steps which is actionable, measurable?

[00:05:46] I can take it from today.

[00:05:48] This week I can take it, this month I can take it, which can take me closer towards my vision.

[00:05:56] Here is the magic happens.

[00:05:58] When your big dreams begin to feel tangible and achievable, you feel like taking a step towards it.

[00:06:06] Right?

[00:06:07] So, that is called the clarity.

[00:06:11] Next, once you know that it is tangible, it is doable, it is actionable and it is achievable also.

[00:06:18] So, we create a system around that so that it keep us track and keep ourselves aligned with what exactly we want.

[00:06:29] Right?

[00:06:29] So, that is called the accountability system.

[00:06:32] For me, that is spatially, that is my creative practices also.

[00:06:38] Sometimes, you know, self-reflection.

[00:06:39] I sit down to paint.

[00:06:41] I reflect on the progress I am making towards my goal.

[00:06:44] Maybe for you, it can be journaling, a weekly check-in with a friend or even setting a reminder on simple steps.

[00:06:52] Setting a reminder on your phone.

[00:06:55] Finally, remember to celebrate these small steps.

[00:07:00] Life is too short to only celebrate the big milestone.

[00:07:03] Every small will matters which takes us closer to our vision.

[00:07:10] And it is worth acknowledging and appreciating our self which motivates us to perform those actions also.

[00:07:18] As we prepare to step into 2025, I want to invite you to do this work with me.

[00:07:24] Let's make this year of intentional living where we paint our lives with the color of balance, growth and the genuine connection.

[00:07:35] If this resonates with you, I have created a free webinar that masterclass that dives deeper into the strategy.

[00:07:44] It is a space where we can get together, reflect on the past year and set the powerful intention for 2025.

[00:07:53] You will leave with the practical strategy, practical tools, practical systems to not only dream big but to make those dreams a reality.

[00:08:06] The strategy to set goals for 2025 involves creating a clear vision for year 2025 and breaking it down into the actionable steps.

[00:08:18] Begin by identifying key areas for the growth and improvement such as personal development, professional goals and the mental well-being.

[00:08:28] Addressing current challenges by prioritizing skill building and managing internal conflicts.

[00:08:35] While also learning what is required.

[00:08:38] Set specific time bound objectives for the short term which is 30 day, mid term which is 90 days and the long term which is 12 months.

[00:08:50] Ensuring measurable outcomes and also developing a structured prioritized action plan,

[00:08:58] breaking tasks into manageable activity day to day weekly targets

[00:09:02] and tracking the progress to maintain motivation and achieving the desired results.
