What do you want to do in life?
This is a very generic question we ask while interacting with individuals or taking interviews. Subsequently the reply received from most of them is, “We are here to grow, to experience, to learn” and other such similar ones.
Very few give it a thought on what impact they have on people. This is another way of looking at what we want to do or valuing our own self. The purpose of our life gives a new way of living a balanced and satisfied life. If we focus on the impact of what we do rather than just doing what we do we will find ourselves resulting in doing unique and better things. We can create a vision that will have the biggest impact.
WE can scale our vision to fit in our small world or we can scale the world to fit in our vision. Seems similar but the complete thought behind the way we look at it will change the way we work, react and implement. Leading a disciplined life is very important. A few of the commitments in leading a life that can influence others are:
Commitment to Responsiveness: Responding to what comes to us in our path of growth rather than ignoring them.
Commitment to Integrity: It’s important to do things with the right amount of integrity. Attaining success though is slow but is stable and sustainable when it’s the blend of the right amount of effort and integrity.
Commitment towards Gratitude: Success is not only driven by the capability of our brain but is equivalently driven by the greatness of our thoughts.
When looking around we find three sections of people
> those who hate their work, and complain bitterly
> those who hate their work but tolerate just because they are concerned about their pay and hardly look for more
> the third, and the smallest section of people globally, are those who love their work and try to deliver the best. These are the people, though very small, but who stand out. They are most often the people who bring a difference and have the highest impact in the world.
There are experts, well known authors, influencers, scientists, business professionals, entrepreneurs who have made true and measurable impacts in the world.
Among them are also the everyday common people who are not so privileged and special to be recognised. They come from various backgrounds with limited opportunities and surviving through extremely difficult circumstances. They have found their ways to raise themselves and transform their life along with the people around them. It’s not always how many people you impact, it’s also what circumstances you overcome and reconstruct your life that equally counts.
The most important factor is how we decide to live our life and how we want to give a meaning to our presence. Just mere thinking of having a positive impact and not putting in enough efforts and dedication is worthless.
There are a few key factors that need to be present in the behavior of people who tend to bring a positive impact in the world.
Continue to improve themselves: They are never contented with their own knowledge. They are always ready to learn, grasp and expertise in whatever comes their way. They believe knowledge is never complete. They have a beginners mind with an innovative heart to take it through.
Engage with the right people in the right way: They understand the power of teamwork and engaging the right set of people. They are not afraid of sharing their knowledge and their viewpoints and opinions. They understand the importance of foundational strength to achieve everything they desire.
Dedicating themselves to give meaning and purpose to life: They are driven by a purpose, not mare desire to survive in life. They work to transform mess into a message. Their focus, dedication, and commitment help them to choose what to grab and what to walk away from because that doesn’t support their higher purpose along their path.
Invest time on what can be: They do not give up in a mess. They invest time on finding the root cause of a problem, and understanding the contributing factors to arrive at new solutions. They observe the gaps and mistakes and believe in designing solutions to bring a change. There is always a better way for everything.
Uplift others and spread what they know: They are happy to support others and bring out the best out of them. They do not fear to spread what they know. They walk with success building abilities.
Respecting their journey as a Goal and having the power to express themselves: These people are very focused and are clear to segregate on what should impact them and what should be ignored. It’s not always a perfect life. What matters is the importance you give to what is happening around and what impacts you and your decisions. They have the power to judge and express themselves. Right blend of emotions and professionalism for success.
To sum up, the way of approaching life and work is what distinguishes people from one another and segregates them as contributors. They are those who long to make a difference and find a way.
PURPOSE and PASSION, the two P’s are the most important. Purpose gives reason to life and passion is the fire that lights our way.
Realise the purpose in life. It will challenge all your capacity to be at your best.
Each one of us is born to make an IMPACT. Realize and ACT….
