The Journey Toward Purposeful Leadership Begins Within

The COVID-19 pandemic sparked my curiosity about self-discovery and led me on a journey of introspection. Over the past few years, I’ve read many self-development books that have provided valuable insights and practical frameworks for understanding myself and building a balanced life.

Recently, the book “Purpose” by Sri Prem Baba has profoundly touched me. It feels like the culmination of all my learning, as it invites me on a deeper journey towards self-awareness and purpose.

Sri Prem Baba observes that the search for self-knowledge begins when we start asking certain questions that resonate within us. This marks the beginning of a consciousness revolution that can redirect our lives.

He identifies two types of purpose:

  • The external purpose is what drives us to meet our survival needs and please others. At some point in our lives, this can be a strong motivator. However, Prem Baba believes that our ultimate purpose is the expansion of consciousness, and love is the vehicle for this expansion.
  • In contrast to external purpose, the internal purpose is the purpose of realization, which manifests once we are able to be who we truly are. This might sound strange, as it seems like we are not who we really are. However, Prem Baba explains that we often adopt a false identity and become so accustomed to it that we don’t even question it.

Symptoms of this false identity include anxiety, disorientation, constant anguish, sadness, and feeling like an outsider. By shedding this false identity and expressing our true selves, we can unlock our internal purpose.

Prem Baba describes this internal purpose as “a program of our soul, like a perfume that is naturally sprinkled.” It’s our true essence, waiting to be revealed.

Our journey takes us from forgetfulness to remembrance, from being asleep to awakening our consciousness. It’s an adventure filled with uncertainty and challenges. We have to accept and walk on our path to a happy and true life, Prem Baba highlights.

He emphasizes that nature is sending us clear warnings, urging us to wake up from our unsustainable practices.

Environmental consciousness is no longer a choice. It’s a necessity! We must pay heed to these signs and act accordingly. Otherwise, these signs can become extremely drastic or even negative to ensure an open eyes. 😉
