The purpose mindset is the reason behind your growth. 5 principles behind purpose mindset. Work from your strengths (write down 3 strengths and then work from there). Put on a lens of abundance (instead of a scarcity view). It is not about the efficiency of how you get things done but the effectiveness of what you are doing.  It is about igniting movements.  How do we go from just being generous to being empathetic and compassionate? Create a purpose mindset journal  Jot down every month where you were able to use your purpose. It's okay to focus on yourself first (but to the betterment of society). Then move to your family, community and workplace. Write down 3 strengths, then 3 values that exemplify you. Then write your purpose statement. Your work and your purpose shouldn't be fully aligned. If they are, you are a robot.  Dr. Ahktar Badshah's book: Purpose Mindset     Dr. Ahktar Badshah's Recharge Round What habit do you think has led to success in your life? He's open to taking on new challenges.
