Ep77. Redefining Success Part 2: Where Are You Actually Going?
Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this special live episode, recorded at the beautiful Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas during Sadhviji’s April 2026 retreat, we continue our Redefining Success series with a question that most people spend their entire lives avoiding:
Where are you actually going?
Many of us have a clear plan for the next year, the next promotion, the next achievement, or the next milestone. But beneath all of those goals lies a deeper question: What is the ultimate destination of your life?
In this powerful satsang, Sadhviji explores why so many people achieve everything they thought they wanted—degrees, careers, money, status, relationships—yet still find themselves feeling unfulfilled. Drawing on ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and practical life experience, she challenges the cultural definition of success that keeps us endlessly striving while never truly arriving.
She explains how much of modern life is driven by anticipation, comparison, and the pursuit of “more,” while genuine happiness can only be experienced in the present moment. Through teachings on dharma, purpose, fulfillment, and spiritual freedom, Sadhviji offers a more expansive vision of success—one rooted not merely in accomplishment, but in balance, meaning, connection, and inner peace.
This episode is an invitation to pause, step off the treadmill of endless striving, and ask yourself a question that can transform the direction of your entire life.
In this episode, Sadhviji explores:
- Why achieving your goals does not automatically create happiness
- The hidden question beneath every ambition: “Where am I actually going?”
- How dopamine keeps us chasing the future instead of living in the present
- The four aims of life and the role of dharma in true success
- Why balance matters more than achievement alone
- How to create a life rooted in purpose, fulfillment, and spiritual growth
- The difference between external accomplishment and inner freedom
Join us for this thought-provoking conversation on purpose, happiness, and discovering a definition of success that nourishes not only your career, but your mind, heart, and soul.
