Why wait to start living and engaging with purpose?
We spend much of our lives putting out fires - solving a problem here only to quickly chase and solve another there.
Nothing seems more prevalent in the workplace.
Managers spend a solid chunk of time in meetings - discussing what exactly? Problems?
Will the world’s or the workplace’s ever-streaming problems be extinguished? Problems will forever be with us. So what stops us from building a clearer idea of who we are so we can engage more authentically and confidently now and in the future?
It takes time to build a clear understanding of your purpose, but that’s not to say you can’t work with what you have right now. Being clear on your own identity is inexplicably linked to living with higher purpose - we become clearer on who we are as well as what our unique offer is in terms of skills, talents, beliefs and ideas.
We will become more useful and appreciated at work because we’ve aligned ourselves with our core identity. As a result you pave pathways for others to live with more purpose too. This lies at the heart of authentic leadership.
