Naval Ravikant - It is not about the Journey. It is ALL about the Destination [w/ kapil Gupta]

Naval Ravikant and Kapil Gupta immerse and debunk the social convention that states that "is not about the destination, but the journey". One of the most obvious and powerful points being that without a destination, there is no journey in the first place! Is is also being discussed how to "facilitate" the path towards an intended destination.
Enjoy!

---- Notes ----
- Society always says is about the journey, not the destination. It has become acceptable to never reach the destination.
- But you need a destination to get into the journey. And you gotta track/measure if you are getting closer to that destination (Ex: in the money context is very practical. You probably want to make enough money while you are young to be Financially Independent. You can easily measure that).
- A human being becomes his environment. Therefore, it is critical to carefully arrange one's environment in a way that is in accordance with his/her intended destination.
- Don't seek prescriptions (how-to-do's), but truth. Expose yourself constantly to the truth, so that it becomes your new thinking process by default. Your brain gets to rewire itself.
- What is a worthy destination? There is none. It all starts with the truth. For any human, the truth is that they have problems. For a specific person, he/she has specific problems. Now, for that specific person to solve his/her problems, he/she has to examine them carefully: understanding what these problems are and from where are they coming from (generally, a problem is solved by deeply understanding the problem). Then, he/she will know that the problem is "solved for good" once it doesn't come out anymore in his/her life.
The Nugget I take away --- Define your destination, from the issues you are facing. Implement "measure systems" or feed-back loops in the journey to know if you are getting closer or not to the destination. Set your environment in a way that it will help you to arrive to the destination.

    I think they purposely changed the meaning of this quote. When we say « it’s about the journey », what it means is that happiness is found during the process, and not necessarily in achieving your goal. What they mean is that the goal is the most important because it’s what starts the journey. That’s 2 different interpretations of this quote, which are both true

    When you find solution to a problem , you dont have to solve it again ,it won't emerge again. Another type of solution is one which you can apply each time problem arises and it solves the problem till next time 2. When you solve the problem for good it has two indicators a.) Internally you are at peace b.) Externally your life is less complicated If both a and b are achieved you have solved the problem. 3.) It's about the destination and not journey. You need cure(destination) and not some temporary fix or life long processes to heal you. You need a cure and then get over it. 5.) You become your environment, we know about external environment but forget about internal environment . The best way to get internal environment right is to continuously expose it to truth. 6.) Your internal and external environment are both affected by company you are in if you are with people who are better than you then you will become better if you are in company of people who are worse than you then you will become worse. So chose your company mindfully.

    The journey plays a big role in how proud and passionate you are about yourself, brick by brick one day at a time , growing and practicing without a limit or destination just getting 1% better each day in itself, but yes the destination drives the journey , but I would rather be a business owner than a lottery winner statistically

    That's the thing. Business owners don't buy lottery tickets. And the people who buy lottery tickets never become business owners. Don't mix them up.

    In choosing between destination and journey, destination seems to be the priority, because it determines the spectrum of potential journeys. If you want to get to x, you have y possibilities to get there. Thus, choosing the destination first gives you the most control over your life. However, the journey determines the probability to get to your destination. If you’re on a path that’s not meant for you, i.e. doesn’t involve the things you want to do, and the people you want to be with, it’s more probable that this journey won’t bring you to your destination. To arrive where you want in life, one needs to choose the destination and journey wisely, and evaluate both on regular basis.

    Nope, without a destination you can have a journey, though to what end noone knows. But if you have a destination that will itself pull you on the journey to it.

    i am indian who has been a sentimental fellow for longtime...i realized these days how fool i am to think that way.. but its too late i feel now.. i married because of my parents pressure.. i took a decision in my weak moment.. as i am not financially independent and my father is not supportive to me in anything, i am not able to convey what i feel about my married life to anybody.. i want to get divorced... i don't know at this point in my life how to go about it.. i keeps on telling my mind our marriage will work, it becomes better but i still feel void in me, a pain i can't describe.. right now i want to get financial freedom and one day wants to ask my wife for divorce... i don't even know whether i am thinking right or wrong? my wife is not a bad person but she is uneducated, and we both really don't have anything common to talk about.. i feel even more lonely after i get married.. i know its my mistake marrying her.. i want to correct it.... there is no particular reason why i am writing this here but when i am listening my problem pops in my mind.. anybody have any better suggestions or inputs plz u r welcome..

    I am not married. Never even had a girlfriend but there is one thing I know. If you want financial freedom or fulfilment in life, you have to start now irrespective of where you are. Why not focus more on that and let her be. I don't think her being with you would make much difference. When you start growing financially and mentally, you will know the answer. You will know what to do with other things or people around you. When you start feeling fulfilled, you'll realise that most things that don't serve you will leave you. Start by taking responsibility for your life, take action. Hope this helps.

    A woman is a woman. You would be a fool to think she would be your best friend if she was educated or you guys would have a lot to talk about. Does she respect you? Does she look up to you? Does she take care of you? Does she complete you meaning does she do things that you are not good at? That should be good enough. My wife is a high ranking professional but we still don't have much to talk. Fix your life first, get out of your father's shadow and find a way to earn. Make friends outside at work or elsewhere. Expecting your wife to be everything is foolish - your wife is a part of your life, not your whole life. Don't punish her for whats not her fault, life is not a dress rehearsal

    @@shivargvfilm1989 Fathers have a way of screwing the lives of their sons in unexplainable ways. In many ways they want to be the hero of the household forever. Don't fall into that trap, do not totally trust parents with your life. Start somewhere and make your own money even if you guys stay under the same roof. Do not argue or debate with them, just communicate whats essential and keep moving fwd. There is a time when every Indian kid realizes he is on his own and that nobody is goin to take care or even care. That time for you is now. Put your head down and do the work. Talk less until your situation improves, there is no need to give daily updates to wife or father or anyone. Your situation will improve massively once financial situation improves
