About Sharjeel

At 38, I made the bold decision to step away from a thriving career as a Big 4 partner, driven by a quest for deeper meaning. My journey since then has been nothing short of a rollercoaster—navigating through three diverse career paths, dabbling in entrepreneurship, and re-evaluating long-held beliefs. Along the way, I uncovered hidden passions, faced the occasional spectacular flop, and discovered true love.

Through these experiences, I cracked the code to living a life brimming with purpose and joy. Now, I'm here to share those secrets and guide you through the mid-life maze. If you’re feeling lost or stuck, think of me as your personal GPS, helping you reconnect with your authentic self and uncover the fulfillment you’ve been searching for. Buckle up, because finding your true path can be a thrilling ride!

MY STORY

Lost and bewildered, I sought a new path — one where I felt truly alive and accepted, where each day was a celebration of authenticity and every moment held the promise of adventure. But more importantly, where I am fueled by a thirst for meaning and fulfillment.

Hence I embarked on a long self-discovery journey and I feel I am still on one.

In the ensuing years, I began pursuing my passions, daring to take risks and delving into a variety of work and non-work-related ventures and experiences. Through failure in three startups, going through bankruptcy I learnt the art of resilience and how to never give up on one’s dreams.

In my forties, when I least expected it, love found me, and it changed everything. It filled my heart with a sense of peace and gave me unwavering faith and support as I pursued my unconventional path towards living my dream life.

Amidst the chaos of entrepreneurship and search for meaning, I unearthed my true calling - to inspire and enable people towards a life of purpose and joy. Combining my corporate leadership skills with the life lessons of self-discovery, I set out on a mission to educate others to find their true-self and purpose and ignite their inner flame of passion to help them maximize their potential.

I welcome you into the fold of the "Live Fully" movement and to join the "Seekers' Tribe.

Once upon a time, in a city of 30 million people, there lived a man who seemed to have it all figured out quite early in life. But little did he know that life held a meaning far beyond his current perception. This person was me.

Born into a family of accountants, I followed the conventional path, jumping into the world of numbers and consultancy projects like a frog into a well, oblivious to the vastness beyond.

Years flew by as I ticked off the checkboxes of societal standards and success - Chartered Accountancy degree, a Partnership at Ernst & Young at the age of 32, clients and projects that spanned continents, loving friends and family and millions of savings in the bank.

Yet, at 38, staring down from the top of the corporate ladder, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. There was this emptiness both outside and within me which I couldn’t name.

I didn't know what I wanted to do in life but I knew deep down inside me that I didn't come to this world to just make money, attain status and power and live the same life, every year on repeat.

With a resignation that sent ripples of disbelief throughout my circles, I bid adieu to the predictable life I'd crafted after 17 year of working in the corporate world.

My Vision

A world full of “Seekers” living an authentic life, pursuing their passions as careers, fulfilling their purpose and contributing to a harmonious society with lots of love and sense of fun & adventure.

What is the best way to meditate? Sit under the shower :-) My favorite activity in the mountains. Water has the power to cleanse not only my body but my soul.

Channeling my inner Picasso in an artist's house in Thailand with a self-painted mask! Who knew meditation could be this colorful? I never shy away trying new ways to self-expression.

Standing tall on the Passu Bridge: a daring feat in the heart of the Karakoram range. For me, the mountains are a sacred sanctuary. Each visit is a pilgrimage, an exchange of energy that nourishes my soul and calls me back time and again.

Immersed in the vibrant culture of the Kalash people in Pakistan. Exploring diverse communities like this expands my horizons, offering new perspectives and enriching experiences. From sharing meals to dancing to local tunes, every encounter is a celebration of humanity's diversity and resilience.

Sailing into the heart of tradition on Manchar Lake, where boathouses hold centuries old stories. I got an opportunity to spend a night with a local family on their boathouse. It was a humbling experience to get to know their simple lifestyle. Needs are same, wants can be never-ending.

Surrounded by eager minds in a humble classroom. As a mentor in an underprivileged area of Karachi, I was humbled by the resilience and wisdom of these students. This program became a bridge between our worlds, fostering understanding and sparking conversations about possibility and potential. I learnt more from them they probably did from me.

Embarking on a Hindu spiritual journey during Karth ki Punam, we traversed through the moonlit desert of Thar. As dawn broke, we immersed ourselves in a sacred pool, shedding old garments and emerging renewed—a symbolic cleansing of body and soul amidst the vast expanse of the desert.
