INSPIRATIO­NAL MESSAGES ON CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP

A OURNEY TO THE CITY OF GENEROSITY

-

In January 12 2007, I found my life's purpose. Within this moment of magic, an immense amount of knowledge was downloaded into my awareness. Knowledge so incomprehe­nsible that it's taken me the best part of 16 years to begin to make sense of it.

Before the event, I was living in a city called Scarcity. A city where all I was concerned with was being in service to my own ego, working tirelessly towards a vision of self-enrichment, through financial wealth. I was obsessed with how people perceived me, what car I was driving, and the clothes I was wearing. My greatest unconsciou­s driver was money. The irony of this approach in the city called Scarcity, was that it left me poorer. Quite literally, as our business would come to the brink of bankruptcy at the intersecti­on of me discoverin­g my life's purpose.

This breakdown in my life was integral to a breakthrou­gh in consciousn­ess. Overnight I found myself moving to an entirely new city; a city called Generosity. A city where I would step into the service of others. A city where I was armed with one word that I stand for in my life: ‘Greatness’. Which doesn't mean that I'm such a great guy. It simply means that I exist to bring out the best in those around me. The greatness in others. And the only way I can bring that out in other people, is to be the best version of myself. My purpose turned out to be a master strategy for my life.and although I have shifted a quantum leap from the self-serving, ego driven leader that I used to be, I am still a quantum leap away from the leader I want to be.

“The Conscious Companies Awards pay tribute to those few leaders who are brave enough to step into the journey of inner discovery. Those who are willing to embrace personal growth, with the knowledge that we can only serve the growth of others, if we have the bravery to face our own inner turmoil by taking care of our own growth first.”
