As I approach a significant milestone in terms of age, I feel a growing need to define my purpose more clearly. I’ve reached a stage where it’s crucial to align my energies and talents towards specific goals that resonate with my personal values and aspirations. The essence of life is fleeting, and as I grow older, I recognise the importance of making the most out of the time that remains. It’s a moment of self-realisation and reflection that’s leading me to articulate my purpose as follows.
Championing education and inspiring change
As CEO of Quest for Education, I strive to foster an organisational culture that champions the right to quality education for all children, especially those in disadvantaged rural regions of Pakistan. I propagate the value of education as a means to transform society for the better and promote resilience, empowerment, inclusivity, and innovation both within the organisation and the wider community. I’m committed to using my position to spearhead initiatives that create meaningful change and share these values and insights through a compelling book and online platforms. My ambition is to create an enduring legacy that continues to inspire and facilitate positive transformation long after my direct involvement.
Financial empowerment
I recognise the importance of financial security in achieving my larger objectives. I aim to make sensible financial decisions that provide not just a comfortable life for my family, but also allow me to contribute more to the causes I hold dear. My strategy includes exploring innovative ways to generate income through my professional and creative pursuits, all the while keeping my primary focus on creating a significant impact and living a life true to my values. I perceive wealth not as an end itself, but as a tool to aid my greater purpose.
Innovative digital experiences
My goal is to develop digital platforms that captivate, entertain, and educate a broad user base. I aim to harness my technical skills and creativity to build software applications and websites that not just aim for mass adoption, but also challenge users to think beyond their usual perspectives. I’m passionate about designing digital environments that foster meaningful interactions and help break down echo chambers, stimulating diverse conversations, and promoting broader understanding. To bring these visions to life, I understand the need to develop entrepreneurship skills and build strong business relationships. I’m committed to learning and adapting in this regard, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset that enables me to navigate the digital space effectively.
Promoting unity and understanding
I aim to foster an environment of tolerance, unity, and mutual respect within my community, both online and offline. Drawing upon my personal journey, I share powerful narratives and insights, and challenge people to look beyond divisive beliefs.
Fostering growth and purpose in family
As a husband and a father, I work to set an example for my children by embodying the values of hard work, perseverance, empathy, and respect for diversity. This includes empathy and respect for nature and all its inhabitants, understanding the importance of maintaining harmony with our environment and treating animals with kindness. I’m committed to encouraging and facilitating my family members in their own quests to find purpose, supporting their personal and professional growth. I teach them to value their heritage while embracing the opportunities of the world they’re growing up in. I guide them to understand that the journey of finding a purpose is personal, evolving, and can lead to fulfilling lives. Together, we aim to tread lightly on the Earth, mindful of the impact of our actions on the environment.
Dynamic and diverse storytelling
I harness my personal experiences, unique perspectives, and sense of humour to craft compelling narratives in various formats, from biographical tales to stand-up comedy routines. I aim to explore the depth of my creativity and knowledge by penning a science fiction novel centred around AI or another topic I’m passionate about. Whether it’s through humour, biography, or speculative fiction, I strive to inspire, entertain, and provoke thought among my audience.
Practising gratitude and mindfulness
I endeavour to cultivate an attitude of gratitude for the life and opportunities I’ve been given. I recognise and appreciate my upbringing in a stable environment, the privilege of health, and the gift of family. I make it a point to regularly reflect on these blessings and use them as motivation not to squander the opportunity to contribute positively to the lives of others. Gratitude and mindfulness are integral parts of my daily practice, infusing my actions with positivity and purpose.
Life-long learning and overcoming self-doubt
I’m committed to constant personal and professional growth. I embrace every experience, including my failures and setbacks, as a learning opportunity. I use these experiences as stepping stones to propel myself forward, helping me learn, adapt, and grow. I refuse to let negative thoughts about age or worthiness hold me back. Instead, I remind myself of my journey from a poor minority background to a successful software developer and charity director – a testament to my resilience and ambition. I believe in my capacity to effect change and continue to expand my horizons, learning from various sources and evolving my worldview.
Physical and mental wellbeing
Good health is not only a blessing, but it’s also a requisite for a fulfilling life. As I appreciate the importance of my health, I am committed to maintaining my physical fitness and mental acuity. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, ample rest, and practices such as meditation and mindfulness form an essential part of my daily routine. My wellbeing empowers me to take on the challenges and execute my goals with energy and enthusiasm.
Loyalty and mutual growth in relationships
Family and friends are the cornerstones of my life. My dedication to them is unwavering and I value their trust above all. I am committed to being a loyal friend, a reliable family member, and a supportive companion in their journey. Together, we challenge each other, we learn from each other, and we hold each other accountable. My goal is to foster an environment where we can all grow together and support each other in the pursuit of our individual purposes.
Creating meaningful and happy experiences
Life isn’t just about achieving goals, it’s also about cherishing the journey. I aim to create and enjoy meaningful, joy-filled experiences with my family and friends. From the smallest moments of shared laughter to the grandest celebrations, I want to fully engage in these times of joy and connection. These memories serve as my cherished treasures and rejuvenate my spirit for the ongoing journey.
