The Purpose Mastermind: Helping Leaders Get Unstuck and Live with Meaning in Work, Marriage, and Parenting

It is pretty scary to be married to someone when you see them developing a habit that you think could threaten everything. Drinking, overeating, gaming, etc. 

What does a wife do? This is challenging for sure. The good news is that as a wife you have great power to be of influence. But the power you have may work differently than you think. 

• Instinct says, "I'll control him and that will change him." But that does not and will not work. 
• A wife can empower her husband through giving him honor and respect. The empowered man has a strength to face weakness.

Mark's son Matthew joins for this episode. They talk about the difference between having landmarks for your journey versus having a north star. 

1. A landmark might be great, but it may not be on the path to where you are actually going. 
2. Comparing our life to a journey, landmarks are nice, but most of the time we are traveling to a destination. 
3. A north star keeps us on track all the time. 
4. If we don't have the north star of purpose,  it is very hard to be confident as we travel hundreds of miles down the road to somewhere!

Crossroads represent opportunity and threat! 
Crossroads in a relationship can feel very dangerous. But in these moments there is great opportunity underneath all of the fear. 

Here are some excerpts:

• Relationships expose our fears and insecurities. That feels like a bad thing, but it is actually an awesome thing. 
• Close relationships become a mirror that reveal things in us that need to be revealed. 
• Relationships expose how we need to change. Not just for the good of that relationship, but for the good of everything in our life!

This conversation today is about how to change.  
Maybe there is a goal that you want to achieve, or a habit you want to break. 

1. Human instinct says, "I need to do this!" That sounds right, but the better thought is, "How do I be the person that will do this?" 
2. The information is available to everyone on what they need to "do." But, the secret sauce is in how be "be" the person that is capable of doing what we want to do. 
3. When we "be", the "do" will come as a natural byproduct. 

How do you position yourself to change the core of who you are?

1. Put yourself around vulnerable people. 
2. Put yourself around people who have "been there and done that." Many people would like to help you with something. But someone who has personally found a gold mine, will have a gift to help you "be" the person that can find a gold mine of change. 
3. The secret sauce of change is "becoming" the person that will "do" the steps that transform.

Our favorite movies are stories of redemption. Because, we all need it at some point in our life. The good news is that redemption is not just for the movies! It's for me and you today.

Drug addiction is rampant. It is worse than we think. It's more harmful than we think. It's a nightmare to people.  It destroys families while it destroys the addict. 

But there is hope! In this episode Mark discusses the heart behind drug use. 

• The human that feels useless will do useless things. 
• When a person has nothing real inside of them that moves them, they will find something artificial outside of them that moves them. 

There is hope! A person can find freedom and purpose. When a person discovers purpose they find power. Power to change. Power to pursue their life. When a person has a purpose, they have a reason to not do drugs.
