Purpose-driven, yet Nowhere to Go and Nothing to Prove

Point A - Rushing from moment to moment, each minute scheduled, each minute driven to reach somewhere. No time to stop and think. So much to do, so little time. When I reached there, it did not fulfil. Instead, I looked in the mirror to find emptiness and incompletion staring back at me.

Point B - They said every minute scheduled and structured is no spontaneity, no fun and oh, so boring. I gave up my routine, aimlessly wandered from minute to minute; gave up my personal practises that I had so assiduously built over time. Suddenly; life had no meaning, no purpose, no centredness. I was lost, rudderless, empty, incomplete.

Point C - I figured my purpose, my life's task that guides me like the North Star. I move with immeasurable joyous stillness from moment to moment; with purposeful passion in my heart that fills me up with unconditional love and acceptance for my own self and for each one in my space. The Universe is holding me in her warm loving embrace, guiding me forward. There's a definite purpose, yet there's nowhere to go, nothing to prove; and I flow along effortlessly being, creating and having it all.

Wishing that each one of us find our path to Point C and win the Gold Medal in this Olympics of Life.

For that, lets work together to find the Purpose of Life.

What is your Quest this Lifetime?

The first step is to find what you most deeply want for yourself. Over multiple iterations and quiet meditative reflection on what I want, I discovered that what inspires me is to find the way to my highest self, lead myself and my work from good to great, and have it all - deeply fulfilling successful career, loving harmonious relationships, happy responsible kids with their genius joyfully expressed, lots of nourishing nurturing me-time, while contributing and making a difference.

Therefore,
My Quest this Lifetime is to walk the path to my highest self, lead myself and my work from good to great, and have it all.

What is your Purpose this Lifetime?

Remember, Newton's third law - Every action has equal and opposite reaction. Fulfilling on my quest is the reaction from the Universe, something that I want to receive. Therefore, I have to start the cycle by giving to the Universe, to the people in the world exactly what I want to receive back.

Therefore,
My Purpose this Lifetime is to support others to walk the path to their highest self, lead themselves and their work from good to great, and have it all - deeply fulfilling successful career, loving harmonious relationships at work and at home, happy responsible kids with their genius joyfully expressed, lots of nourishing nurturing me-time, while contributing and making a difference.

What is your Purpose this Lifetime?

What is your Vision this Lifetime?

Vision is the future you want to create through your life and your work. Our real opportunity to live our purpose of life is through our work and how we live our life. 

If you are an entrepreneur, your purpose this lifetime will be the Vision of your organization. If you are a CEO, your and your leadership team's integrated purpose will be the Vision of your organization. If your purpose is not reflected in the Vision of your Business, the vision statement will essentially be empty lines plastered on walls with no meaning, connection or inspiration.

If you are a corporate professional, find your purpose and find the connection between your purpose and the vision of your organization. Without that connection, you are likely to remain busy being busy without meaning or inspiration, waiting to retire to start living. It is possible to live your purpose through the role that you play, however tiny it may seem to you.

Why is meaningfulness, authentic connection and inspiration important? It is because that is the doorway to productivity, performance, creativity and innovation; leading to profitability and market leadership.

The Vision of my organization is to create a world where each one is walking the path to their highest self, leading themselves and their work from good to great, and having it all - deeply fulfilling successful career, loving harmonious relationships at work and at home, happy responsible kids with their genius joyfully expressed, lots of nourishing nurturing me-time, while contributing and making a difference.

What is the Vision of your organization or part of the organization that is within your circle of influence?

What is your Mission this Lifetime?

Mission is what will you do now for which community to create the future you want to create, the Vision you want to realize.

For this, make a list of all your passions. My passions are coaching, reading, writing, golfing, positive parenting. You walk the path of your passions to create the future you want to create, the Vision you want to realize, the purpose you want to fulfil to receive for yourself what your quest is this Lifetime. 

You pick up that passion, to begin with, which can integrate all or most of your other passions. For me, coaching supports me to read and write extensively, learn to become a positive parent and play golf. 

Also, make a list of all the communities you want to serve. Interestingly, the list will end up becoming all the communities you are a part of. Why? Because you understand the pain of being a part of that community and therefore, would have in you the inspiration and understanding to make a difference to all those communities.

Here is my list:
1. CEOs - I get the exhausting exhilarating struggle of taking the business from good to great and then to maintain it there for evermore.
2. Business Owners - I understand the high of building a business and letting lot of things slip up in the other areas without realising.
3. High Performers - I understand the pain, loneliness and 'something missing' of being a high performer.
4. Coaches - I have experienced the pain of building a successful, profitable coaching practise.
5. Women - I viscerally feel what's missing for the women community and that the current solutions for what is called 'empowerment' totally missing the point.

The Mission of my organisations this Lifetime is to serve each one of the above communities through coaching to walk the path to their highest self, leading themselves and their work from good to great, and having it all - deeply fulfilling successful career, loving harmonious relationships at work and at home, happy responsible kids with their genius joyfully expressed, lots of nourishing nurturing me-time, while contributing and making a difference.

Each community with their specific missing need requires a separate business model to serve that community. Profitability and growth is always an outcome of having served so powerfully that the customers chase you instead of you chasing them.

In distinguishing my mission, 5 organisations have taken birth and are at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey from purpose; finding the blue ocean for the community I am committed to serve; business modelling for profitability, scalability, repeatability; scaling organically and corporatization.

1. CEOs and Veteran Business Owners - Centre for Transformational Leadership™
2. Founder Business Owners - Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence™
3. High Performers - Centre for Personal Excellence™
4. Coaches - Centre for Coaching Excellence™
5. Women - Mums At Work™

What are your passions? What are the communities that inspire you to serve them? What is your Mission this Lifetime? How are you living it through the work you do?

You don't have to leave your job to become an entrepreneur to live your purpose. A powerful efficient and fulfilling way to work in an organization is to consider yourself an entrepreneur with a captive client (the company that you work for). The work you do is the service that your client is consuming and paying for. 

Enjoy your journey as you walk home to yourself, fully integrating all aspects of your life.

Love, Jyoti.
