Values-Based Goal Setting Podcast
MindTalk by HeyZen
We can lose ourselves in search of a better life by pursuing goals that were intruded upon us by our culture, society, and family members. What if becoming a doctor shouldn’t be your one and only aim in life, as it doesn’t give you as much joy as teaching others?
The right goals are difficult to identify as they get lost in the myriad of expectations placed upon us, clouding our true aspirations and desires. We often mistake societal and familial pride for self-fulfillment, only to realize down the road that we’re deeply unhappy.
In today’s episode of our weekly podcast, we’ll talk about how to not only achieve your goals that reflect your inner self but also how to identify your very own values and break free from external pressures.
Inside the MindTalk Podcast: How to Set Goals that Resonate with Your True Self
Start with identifying your true values. Not the conventional ones that should bring you joy, but something that makes you happy not in your mind but in your soul. It can be helping people, always educating oneself, building up wealth without lying, or doing charity. Once you identify your values that you will never compromise, write them down to always check if your aims align with them. For example, you may think that having a prestigious career as a banker is a great goal, but what feels joyful and aligns with your core values is to work as a math teacher helping teenagers!
Setting goals this way is like creating a map to your treasure. This treasure isn’t something random that holds meaning for others, but your own dreams that fill you with joy and fulfillment.
One of the first steps towards values-based and ambitious goals is to learn how to deal with the expectations of others! In this week’s episode of MindTalk, we’ll discover how to create your own incredible story without being led by others’ opinions. Success is quite a subjective notion, so, why not strive for the things that truly inspire you, make you happy, and fulfill you mentally?
We’re also sharing real-life stories for better time management, setting clear boundaries with others, and prioritizing your goals—all for you to move the correct way and overcome obstacles more easily on the road to your most fulfilling life.
So, buckle up and listen to this episode of MindTalk to drive your own road in life, filled with destinations and sights that bring you sincere joy and make you feel excited!
