Among all the strategies and skills I have learned, discovering my “why” has been the most transformative. Early in my career, I chased job titles, paychecks, and recognition. But fulfillment came only after I connected my work with a deeper purpose: helping others rise above their circumstances.
Purpose is a compass—it turns ordinary effort into extraordinary impact. Whether mentoring students at Teach for India, training professionals, or delivering talks, I’ve found that having a clear mission makes every challenge meaningful. It’s not about the position you hold, but the difference you make.
Every leader and aspiring changemaker should ask, “Why do I do what I do?” The answer will guide your decisions, attract the right opportunities, and inspire the people around you. Purpose-driven actions unlock resilience; they help you push through obstacles because your goals run deeper than personal gain.
Today, my work is rooted in empowering others. Success feels richer knowing that my journey is part of a bigger story—the growth of those I mentor.
If you want to build lasting success, let purpose be your north star. The rewards will extend beyond your own life and into the world you touch.
