BOOK: Leading From Purpose Connect with Nick Craig "Purpose, I've discovered, is the only thing that we really have that doesn't change." ~ Nick Craig

 

Quotes and statements within the interview:

"It wasn't the plan to be doing this."

"But it was kind of a stepchild to all the other really exciting parts that we wanted to play with."

"They go from being on top of the world to having no idea where the bottom is."

"How do we make the choices that when we look back we knew it was the hard right choice?"

"Purpose is always pushing us to step into the bigger possibility of what it means to be who we are."

"Purpose is that unique gift that each of us bring to our life in our world."

"What do you most miss?"

"The beauty of this is, if you don't know it, you can't live it. And if you're not living from it, you can't lead from it."

"Fo me, leading is really about --- whatever you're up to other people are with you and the consequences of the decisions you make impacts them, you're leading."

"What is the real story I need to hear about myself?"

"Purpose, at its core, is that moment of joy when all hell breaks loose and everybody else is screaming. And you're like --- You know what? This is actually cool!"

"Purpose is a devil in the sense that it will keep pushing you to step up into the place where you're not living."

"When you work on it in one part of your life, it impacts the other parts as well."

"The beauty of purpose is that it doesn't judge what we do as much as it calls us to bring our fullest gift to whatever it is."

"Until you have fully a relationship with yourself and with your purpose, it's unclear to me whether you fully have the relationship that you could have with everyone else."

"Stepping into purpose is more important."

"Purpose actually will have you delay momentary happiness for things that are of meaning and fulfillment."

"One of the hardest things for all of us is how to apply our purpose to ourselves."

 

 What has your story gifted you?

• The thing that I'm here to bring fully to people.

"It has resulted in this work in being able to actually talk about this in a way that I would never have expected otherwise."

"My life is about the possibility of who we can me."
