Navigating the balance between philosophy and practicality can feel daunting. Should one prioritize family obligations or personal fulfillment? Perhaps this question is inherently flawed; our brains don’t distinguish between philosophy and practicality. Everything, from thoughts to emotions, is processed similarly. Therefore, obsessing over finding this balance may be futile. Instead, focus on internal desires over external expectations. Life isn’t about avoiding hardship but about pursuing fulfillment, even amidst complexity. Follow the intuition!

This blog explores my challenge in understanding emotions. I compare it to Leonardo da Vinci’s scientific approach. Despite feeling emotions, my analytical brain often takes over, making it hard to grasp them fully. Yet, I remain hopeful. Like Leonardo’s quest for truth, I trust in the brain’s ability to learn. With time, I hope to better understand emotions and find inner peace.

Leaving home for education and work was a journey that reshaped my perspective. Now, on the verge of another departure for a better job, I reflect on the challenges and growth. From the initial shock of a metro city to the profound lessons in loneliness and self-discovery, each experience has been transformative. Amidst conformity and societal pressures, finding balance between comfort and exploration becomes paramount.

As each year concludes, I open my notebook to plan the next, jotting down aspirations, material and emotional alike. This blog delves into my unique goal-setting process, not a guide but a personal perspective. Divided into six facets—Physical Health, Career, Personal Development, Finance, Relationships, and Hobbies—it encapsulates my approach towards life’s journey. Aiming not for a perfect rhythm but perpetual movement, I share thoughts and practices that resonate with my quest for happiness and fulfillment. Happy New Year! 🚀
