How I redesigned my life at 25:

ЁЯз╡

First, here are my desires:

тАв Do what I love for a living
тАв Work max 4 hours a day
тАв Empty calendar
тАв Own my time
тАв Earn well
Now, I know you think this is undoable.

I did too.

Haters may think I come from a home with a lot of money so I'm faking it to sell you something.

Nope. I have nothing to sell to the end and my mum's a single mom which is why I'm driven to be financially independent.
But here are a few things that I absolutely didn't want to do:

тАв Get 5% sucky appraisals
тАв Work a full 8 hours which started hundreds of years ago

When technology has advanced, why are we still slogging for peanuts?
So here's what I changed.
1/ Purpose

I believe purpose is made of:
тАв Self-awareness
тАв Service
тАв Self-awareness

When you're self-aware, you can find your 'big why'.

Why do you want to pursue skill XYZ?
Why do you want to work less?
Why are you making this move?

But this isn't enough.
тАв Service

To make a living on your own, you have to be of service.

You don't need to sell solutions.

So ask yourself,

How can you be of service?
My answers were:
- I want more time to do what I want
- I will use my strengths to solve problems

This is why I have a course even though I didn't want one.

My course, Summit 21, is a solution to a problem many digital writers face - consistency.
2/ Mindset

You are only as capable as your mind tells you you are.

For the longest time, I've felt I'm:
- not good enough
- average

But guess what? Mindset can be reprogrammed.
тАв Belief systems

Write down your negative belief systems.

This is everything you think of yourself and why you *cannot* achieve your dreamy desires.

Reprogram them by recognising they're just stupid beliefs, not the truth.
тАв Abundance mindset

We think we need to pull others down to rise.
That there's space only for one person to win.

Wrong. There's plenty for everyone.

Move from a scarce mindset to an abundant one.
3/ Commitment

This comes with:
тАв Systems
тАв Discipline
тАв Be the hero
When I started, I knew my desires but only vaguely knew how to get there.

So I committed to showing up with my skill - writing.

Results or no results, doesn't matter. Learning and improving will eventually help.
тАв Systems

Don't leave anything to inspiration.

No 'one day'.

You got an idea? Work on it today.

I haven't given any of my plans time to think and analyse. I just shoot it - wither it works or it doesn't.

Do everything as an experiment.
тАв Discipline

Show up X times a week. You define that X.

And then you show up no matter what. Even with no results, even with no money.

And this is why multiple income streams is important - so you're not dependent on only one source.
(Which is why side hustling is better than taking a plunge and going all out)
тАв Be the hero

If I want to lead a business, I have to behave like somebody who leads one.

That means having the right kind of
- mindset
- habit
- practices
For me, I asked myself:

What does a $6-figure solopreneur do? Behave as they do. Look them up and steal their systems.
To summarise,

тАв finding your purpose and acting on it
тАв reprogramming your mindset
тАв committing to your vision

Can completely redesign your life.
Now, answer the following questions to get closer to redesigning YOUR life.
1/ Purpose

тАв What are your desires?

тАв Why are they your desires?
тАв What do you want to be known as?

тАв How can your unique skill set be of service to others?
2/ Mindset

тАв What is holding you back?

тАв Why do you think you *cannot* do it?

тАв Do you need to take everyone down to go up?
3/ Commitment

тАв Can you create a strategy that isn't difficult and helps you show up every day?

тАв Can you commit to the process instead of the outcome?

тАв The person you desire to be like, are you like them right now in your own eyes? If not, what can you change?
That's a wrap!

Purva, Uttara prefixes come in other Nakshatras too. Purva= pehele wala. Remember.

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
тАЬRamanujacharyaтАЭ who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
