I want, I must, I should… are driving forces in today’s world!
From the day we are born, we enter a race. A race that if won or lost defines our value and worthiness of existence.
I want…
I must…
I should…
You may relate to one of the goals above, if not some or a few. These goals which are mere objectives of materialism, and sometimes emotional as well are what become our lives’ purposes. We feel somehow that if we do not achieve these things then life will not be easier, it will become tougher.
For instance, it is difficult to get around town without a car, especially late at night or to places where public transport is not accessible. Let’s say a certain individual was not able to pass his or her driving test and eventually got busier with life. No driving license, no car, and no easy transport system. Now, this individual looks at other people like their neighbors, friends, and even their peers owning cars.
They even offer to drop him or her once in a while which creates more of a longing of owning a car. He or she starts looking at the cars driving by, wondering which color car would be best, the type of brand more suitable, and so on. The longing turns to desire, the desire turns to a feeling of deprivation, and this sense of deprivation turns into a gap that the individual wants to fill.
It’s okay to want something, and there is nothing wrong with it but when the desire turns into your purpose, that is where the problem lies. This purpose is driven by what? What is the reason for your purpose? Is it because you want to achieve something that is beyond you or just so that you can feel like you are a part of the ideal society?
What if I told you that purpose driven by ego is an illusion?
The ego, that part of us that craves recognition and control, is the root cause of our obsession with purpose. It seeks to define us, to give our lives meaning. But in doing so, it often leads to stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction.
When we let ego create our path, we push ourselves from the present moment and the inherent beauty of existence.
~Krescon Coaches
A person with a high Spiritual Quotient (SiQ) understands the illusory nature of purpose. They realize that life isn’t about achieving a specific goal or fulfilling a particular role. It’s about embracing the journey, moment by moment. By letting go of the need for a predefined purpose, we can experience a profound sense of freedom and peace. We can simply be, without the pressure to perform or achieve.
Your Purpose, when it comes to the VVIP of your life, you will notice that I mention Purpose. And now here, in this blog, I say that purpose is just an illusion. What I mean is the justification of your purpose whether you are lowering its level by allowing your ego to drive your purpose.
The Vision, Values, and Identity you gain will help you achieve the purpose that you have set for yourself. This purpose is not attributed to buying a car, owning a huge house, or grabbing the CEO position. It is conditioned by a high SiQ to elevate yourself through divine experiences.
In conclusion, do not allow your ego to take the steering wheel of your purpose. Allow your high SiQ and true self-awareness to set your purpose.
