Clarity on PURPOSE (Contd..)
(Emotional Management for Personal & Professional Growth Series)
As we have discussed the need to be aware of our purpose last week,,a few responded that the purpose would vary from time to time. For example, at a young age, money was the purpose, and later stage of life, the purpose changed to impact society. The purpose may not be the same throughout life.
That is right only and let me give my perspective on purpose with reference to time, based on my experience.
a few years back,i met a successful entrepreneur who ventured into the business at a young age, and even at 70+, he is active and involves in business decisions. When i asked about his high energy level even at this age, his response was, "when i started my entrepreneurial journey, the purpose was to make money and survive. Those purposes drove me then and met. Now my purpose is to enhance the life of my employees that motivates me now to do more" .
we can relate the above example with our life as well.
The key learnings are

The key learnings are
- The purpose will get change over time, depending on the maturity of individual learning and maturity.
- Today money may not be a purpose but does not mean that he ignored it. It becomes a subset of the higher purpose of providing quality life to employees.
- The purpose may vary from small /short term to high/ long term perspective. Those are all interchangeably accepted as a purpose or goal, or objective. Achieving those little/ short term goals are all very essential, and that eventually lead you to find your TRUE NORTH. Finding purpose is an evolution and time-consuming process.
- We should have some higher-level purpose to drive us, else, we will get distracted. We need to find some meaning in what we are doing, which will keep us at an elevated emotional level.
Earlier, you get your TRUE NORTH or ULTIMATE PURPOSE in life and align your actions, better you will become emotionally healthy and balanced.
Let us discuss the practical way of finding the purpose next week!
