Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to stoic state of Mind.
I'm your host, Brandon Cole, here to help you navigate
this crazy world with a little bit of wisdom, a
whole lodd of humor, and a dab of the good Olgrid. Now,
I know what some of your thinking, purpose and direction
sounds kind of heavy for a Monday morning, but trust
me on this one, Folks. In a world that constantly

(00:20):
bombards us with distractions, it's more important than ever to
know who we are, where we're headed, and why we're
even getting out of bed in the first place. Ever,
feel like you're just drifting through life, like you're on
a boat without a rudder, causing the whims of whatever
current comes along. Yeah, me too. But finding that sense
of purpose, that guiding star, it can change everything. So

(00:40):
buckle up, friends, because today we're diving headfirst into the
power of cultivating a sense of purpose and direction. Trust me,
this isn't about some vague, mystical search for meaning. This
is about practical steps you can take right now to
get your bearings and start staring your life in a
direction that feels truly fulfilling. First up, we got to
talk about self reflection. I'm mean, seriously, how do you

(01:01):
know where you're going if you don't even know where
you are? Spend some time honestly assessing your values, passions
and skills. What gets you fired up, what makes you
feel alive? What are you naturally good at? You know
that feeling when you're so engrossed in something that ours
just melt away. That's your passion. Wisprint to you. Listen closely,

(01:21):
because those whispers can lead you to a life of purpose.
Next set some freaking gholst people. I'm not talking about
vague dreams here. I'm talking about specific, measurable, achievable, relevant,
and time bound. Smart goals. Make M boll, make M scary,
make M your own. Remember that feeling when you finally
conquer a challenging task, that sense of accomplishment. It's addictive.

(01:44):
And the more goals you crush, the more momentum you build,
and the clearer your direction becomes. Here's another one. Embrace
challenges as opportunities for growth. You know those things that
make you want to crawl under the covers and hide, Yeah,
those are often the ones the push you out of
your comfort zone and lead to the most profound learning experiences.
It's like that old saying, what doesn't kill you makes

(02:05):
you stronger, and trust me, becoming stronger both mentally and
emotionally is a huge part of finding your purpose. Now
let's talk about contribution. This isn't just about climbing the
corporate ladder or chasing fame and fortune that those can
be call prucs. It's about making a difference in the world,
however big or small that may seem. Volunteer your time,

(02:27):
lend a helping hand to someone in need, share your
knowledge and skills with others. It doesn't take much to
make a positive impact. And guess what, When you contribute
something meaningful, you feel a sense of purpose and blowing
that money can't buy. And finally, remember this life is
a journey, not a destination. There will be twists and turns,
deters and dead ends that that's okay. Embrace the uncertainty,

(02:51):
learn from your mistakes, and keep moving forward. The beauty
of it all is that you get to choose your
own path, write your own story, and discover what truly
makes life worth living. Think about the time when you
felt completely lost and directionless. Maybe it was after graduating college,
changing careers, or going through a major life transition. You
know that feeling like you're standing at crossroads with no

(03:12):
clear idea which way to turn. Now, imagine yourself overcoming
that obstacle, finding your footing, and discovering a sense of
purpose that propels you forward. That's the power we're talking
about here. So what are you waiting for? Don't just exist? Live?
Take that first step towards creating a life filled with meaning,
purpose and direction. You deserve it. Remember, folks, I believe

(03:34):
