Purpose Mastery

Ep.#8: Pointless Suffering VS. Purposeful Suffering


Listen Later

A shocking reminder & beautiful lesson in TRUSTING THE PROCESS. 

In this episode I share an intense story about the US Marine Corps training - in a documentary I watched the instructors put the trainees through 1 specific excruciating task, which at first glance, could seem cruel and pointless. The instructors put the trainees in a room full of teargas!

But there are 3 specific and purposeful reasons these instructors inflict this pain on the trainees - to help them develop TRUST, FAITH and CONFIDENCE in their equipment, their instructors and most importantly, themselves! All of which they will need in the next stages of their life…

Their suffering had a payoff, even when they weren’t aware there was one. The same tends to be true for us in our own lives. 

We can search for and decide what the payoff is or what we want it to be, even in the amidst the suffering. Distinguishing “Pointless-Suffering”from “Purposeful-Suffering” will help us recognize the ways in which we are being strengthened, and what is preparing us for. 

Hear this full story in Ep#8 about these Marines to see how we can apply the “payoff mindset” to our own lives.
