Finding Direction: From Soul Searching to Setting New Goals

Continuation:

The journey of self-discovery begins the moment you sincerely start seeking. It’s as if the universe aligns to help you find what resonates with your soul, a concept I’ve come to understand as "The Secret." My path led me to Sadhguru, whose teachings and straightforward approach deeply resonated with me, providing a guiding light during the global quiet brought on by the COVID-19 lockdown. This period of solitude deepened my appreciation for the invaluable presence of my family in my life.

The pandemic reshaped the world, including my finances, as my investments dwindled. This setback, however, steered me towards a serious pursuit of the stock market, a long-held interest. Nine months in, I’m fully committed to mastering trading, a field where many falter, but I see as a thrilling challenge.

April 2021’s devastating COVID-19 wave brought unprecedented changes, including a prolonged period at home. This time allowed for reflection on my past and planning for the future. While the future remains uncertain, having a clear direction ensures you end up somewhere desirable, rather than aimlessly drifting.

My future aspirations are now clear: pursuing a CFA charter and embracing trading as a career. By 2025, I aim to clear all CFA levels and grow my trading account significantly, hoping to step away from my banking job. I dream of either relocating abroad with my family or settling in Kerala, embracing a simpler life reminiscent of Sundar Pichai, Abdul Kalam, and Barack Obama's humility despite their achievements.

I envision a life far removed from the city's hustle, with a small farm, a few sheep, and loyal dogs. My aim is to tread a path of success that also contributes to social welfare and improves lives around me.
As Harish Sir aptly said, "Let's prepare the spice mix." With the ingredients for my future now ready, all that remains is to diligently pursue and persevere in this recipe for life.
