Long considered one of the most difficult global industries to decarbonize, the global shipping industry transitions fully to carbon-free fuel sources in a historic win for climate action. As of 2024, the global shipping industry contributed 3% of all global emissions, more than the entire aviation industry.
After decades of concerted efforts, the 2045 UNDP Multdimensional Poverty Index shows that India has finally achieved a near-complete elimination of poverty across the massive South Asian nation. As recently as 2014, India accounted for 33% of the entire world’s population living in extreme poverty.
Purpose has absolutely nothing to do with being the hero. It has nothing to do with being great. It has nothing to do with being a success.
Inner purpose is how our purpose work bring us alive. Outer purpose is how our purpose work connects us to the world around us.
To cultivate and sustain a truly thriving life, we must pursue more than purpose. We must also pursue passion and peace.
To be a purpose-driven leader is not to forsake profit. It’s to use profit to serve the greater good. It’s to continuously fill your own cup and to share generously from it.
Through purpose, you not only cultivate lasting meaning and fulfillment but a deep sense of peace that can sustain you through the darkest, most turbulent times.
I wish I had something profound, helpful, or inspiring to say. But for now, the only way to relate to all this that makes any kind of sense to me is to step up even further into myself; this work I’ve set out on supporting aspiring change leaders; and building community, connection, and support networks with folks like you.
If I can’t fully feel the sadness – and whatever other feelings come along with this change – then I can’t fully acknowledge and honor this beautiful, momentous chapter of my life. I can’t offer it the proper goodbye that it so deserves.
Every single one of us can absolutely cultivate all the energy we could ever need to sustain our lives and careers through joy-and-love-based energies. And when we do so, we cultivate a much greater sense of joy, grace, and ease in the process.
