Here is the complete transcript of the podcast
Welcome back to Success with Srini. Happy Friday morning to you. Today’s podcast episode is an inspiration that I took from a friend of mine. So this friend of mine just turned 36. So he made a post on Facebook. He said, I turned 36 today, and I’m going to share 36 lessons with you that I acquired over the last 36 years and they were profound. He’s ultra-successful in doing what he does. So I will seriously read his post. And I thought I should do something like this. And then I realized I’m not 36. And even if I say something along those lines, I miss sound repetitive. Anyway, there isn’t much I can add. And I was contemplating. And then I was going through my notes. And I found this page where I took some notes, where I said, these are the six things that everybody should do in their lifetime. So that’s the headline that I had written on this page. At that moment, I decided I’m going to take these six things, and I’m going to turn them into a podcast. Let’s get into this.
Now, this is applicable to everyone and anyone doesn’t matter if you are a professional, you are a business owner, you are a homemaker, you are a student, you are somebody who just retired, doesn’t matter applies and is applicable to everyone. So the first thing in this list is to see the purpose of life is to see is to observe is to learn as a result of seeing. So how do I translate this into my life, I want to see as many things as possible, I want to meet as many people as possible, I want to go to places so that I can learn, I can observe, I can keep on questioning my thoughts, I can keep on reframing my thoughts based on what I see, in the next moment. Tomorrow, whatever I’ll see is helping me to question what I already saw today. So one of the goals of life is to see.
The second goal should be to give. We have a lot with us, we have time to give your money to give, we have hugs to give all of us we have something that we can give away, and we can donate. So that should be one of the life goals that should be one of the purposes of life.
The third one on this list is to share. A long time ago, somebody asked me a question, he said, What’s the difference between giving and sharing this was in a seminar in a workshop. And I said well giving you something where you have something in excess, or something you have, in addition to what you already need, and you give it away. Sharing is you only have one with you, you have to share it with somebody. So you share your children, but you give your kidney away, understand the difference. So one of the goals is to also share because you don’t have to share their life becomes boring, no sharing, boring.
And the next one on the list is to grow. Growth, growth means that you experience success, you experience failure, you experience lost opportunities, you experience progress, you experience change, all that comes that has all of that in a lifetime, and at different phases, across different situations. Then comes experience, experiencing different elements of life, experiencing nature, experiencing food, experiencing relationships, and experiencing different places. Somebody thinks to experience means indulgence. Experience means that owning experience means applying ourselves and getting into it and feeling it through our mind, and soul body.
And then enjoyment got to enjoy whatever you’re doing, you got to enjoy. See numerous times on this podcast I have said this life is a happiness game. Everybody, anybody who you see is doing anything, they are in pursuit of happiness. All of us are in pursuit of happiness, as much as we deny it. And as much as you see people denying it, the truth is all of us are in pursuit of happiness. So there has to be enjoyed. And I’ve gone on to ask this multiple times, why are you in a job or in an activity that is making you unhappy? You can’t sustain it. You can’t do anything with it. It’s a matter of time before you fall apart.
And there are many techniques and strategies that I have talked about already on this podcast and also many other people who talk about how to bring enjoyment into any and everything in life. There is so much information available and there are many experts who talk about this. Try to bring happiness into any situation and also happiness which your least enjoyment has to do with what is happening within you. It’s an inside game. So, enjoyment is an important element in all this. So, the purpose of life, or the goal of life is to see, give, share, grow, experience and enjoy. And then once this is that this whole thing is in place, these six things are in place. Now go figure this out. What are the different things that you can see some people want to see everything underwater, some someone wants to see everything about the mountain, or from the mountain, different pursuits? So now you figured out what is applicable to you? How do you want to give what you want to give? How do you want to share? What do you want to share? How do you want to grow? How do you want to experience it and how do you want to enjoy it? Yeah, I could go on and on with this, but you get to the point.
Okay, I’m gonna stop here to live the Friday and all drag this out. But these six things have helped me to construct, whatever I have got going. If I specifically get into all the other elements in the list could be much bigger, as I said, but then these six should give you an idea that should give you a framework to start looking at your life and everything that you have got going at a whole different level.
