Goal Setting and the Vedic World View

<p>The “hustle” culture of modern life has put extra emphasis on the pursuit of goals and attaining them through ever increasing busyness and unrelenting productivity.</p><p>While goal setting is not a problem, per se, Thom explains that the level of importance people place on them can be problematic.</p><p>The challenge lies in the notion of, “I’ll be happy when…” This is a false premise. The thought that something outside of us might bring us happiness is a recipe for disillusionment and a misguided search for external fulfilment.</p><p>A better approach might be, “I’ll be happy, <i>then…</i>” or’ “I’ll be happy, <i>and…</i>” Rather than making happiness an outcome of a goal, make it an input into a goal.</p><p><strong>Episode Highlights: </strong></p><p>[00:43] The Relevance of Goal Setting</p><p>[02:05] The Problem With Goal Setting</p><p>[03:03] I Am an Exporter of Happiness</p><p>[04:03] Rigid Attachment is a Bad Habit</p><p>[05:08] A Trifecta of Ideals</p><p>[06:36] Find Fulfillment First</p><p><strong>Useful Links: </strong><br />info@thomknoles.com <br />https://thomknoles.com/<br />https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles/<br />https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoles<br />https://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles </p>
