COT
Iron Butt and I have been discussing purpose recently. He pointed me to a page in Freed To Lead that was a good reminder of F3’s impact. Here’s a short excerpt:
Another way to look at Purpose is that it is the solution to a man’s Life Problem. There is nothing philosophical about a man’s Life Problem. It’s simply the thing that bug’s him the most, and the thing that nags at him and won’t go away, unless he sets about solving it. Most men learn to live with their Life Problems, which is a big part of how they end up as SadClowns. A few men refuse to accept their Life Problems. They stubbornly set out to find a solution. If they succeed, they find their Purpose. If they pursue their Purpose with great skill and fortitude, they have impact. Big Impact.
Chances are you’re thinking about your problem(s) as you read that. Find a brother and talk about it. Perhaps this a good time to find a mentor or someone who has been through what you’re going through. Or maybe now is a good time to mentor someone else?
