Order of Man - How a Man Finds Purpose in Life

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart

00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.

00:00:10.420 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.200 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.780 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler.

00:00:27.700 I'm your host and the founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement. Welcome here today.

00:00:32.240 If you're brand new to what we're doing, this is a mission to reclaim and restore masculinity.

00:00:37.480 And my job is to give you all of the information, tools, resources that you might need to thrive

00:00:42.160 as a husband, father, business owner, community leader, however you're showing up as a man.

00:00:48.120 We've been going for almost nine years strong now, and we have, I think, over 1,100 podcasts

00:00:53.880 in the bank, including over 460 interviews with guys like Tim Tebow and Tim Kennedy and Jocko Willink

00:01:01.500 and David Goggins, Andy Frisilla, Ben Shapiro, Matthew McConaughey, Terry Crews. I could go on

00:01:08.680 and on with the lineup of men who have joined us, but this is a testament to what we're doing

00:01:13.640 and a testament to the power that takes place when men band together, all working towards

00:01:18.720 common objectives, which in this case is to reclaim and restore masculinity. So I'm glad

00:01:23.200 you're here today. I'm going to talk with you about how a man finds purpose in life.

00:01:26.760 This is one of the most frequently asked questions and topics that men bring up. How does he find

00:01:32.800 purpose? Because he's not satisfied with his life, not satisfied potentially with his career

00:01:38.220 or his family dynamic and wants to find some ways to reinvigorate his life and feel like it's

00:01:45.100 important, meaningful, and that he's significant. So I'm going to get to a couple of key points that

00:01:50.160 you can incorporate. What I would suggest to you today, and I don't always ask this, but

00:01:54.720 get your notepad handy. If you have a notepad or an app that you can pull up and take some notes,

00:01:59.880 because you might be listening to this as you're working out or doing some errands or chores or

00:02:04.880 commuting to work, you might not be in the position to do that. But I'd like you to refer back to this

00:02:09.980 and do some of these exercises that I'm going to give you, especially if you're not feeling like

00:02:14.080 you're producing and achieving what you desire in life and you're not feeling good about where

00:02:18.040 you currently are. Now, before I get into that, I just want to mention very briefly my friends and

00:02:22.920 show sponsors over at Montana Knife Company. I use their knives exclusively for hunting. I don't use

00:02:29.340 any other knives. They do the trick. They get the job done out in the field. They look good. They

00:02:33.820 perform well. And one of the most important things is that they're 100% made in America by people that

00:02:39.780 I know. I've broken bread with these people. We've enjoyed laughs and projects and events together.

00:02:45.960 It's my good friends over at Montana Knife Company. So if you're looking for a new knife

00:02:49.940 for yourself or a gift, or maybe your hunting party, as we begin to roll into the new year and

00:02:55.980 spring hunts, look no further than Montana knife company.com. And when you go over there, use the

00:03:00.940 code order of man, because you're going to save some money. And if you're going to buy a knife anyways,

00:03:05.200 you might as well save some money on it. Order of man is the code at Montana knife company.com.

00:03:10.200 All right, guys, let's get into this. How a man finds purpose in life. Number one,

00:03:13.920 I really want you to realize that in the process of discovering meaning and significance and purpose,

00:03:18.960 you can actually find it where you are. And you want to look where you are first. One of the things

00:03:24.820 that my co-host with the ask me anything, and I often talk about is making sure that you're

00:03:30.740 maximizing where you currently are. A lot of men will think that life is just going to be better

00:03:36.640 because they happen to be in a different environment, a new position, a new career,

00:03:41.080 a new line of work, a new life. Guys, it doesn't work like that. If you haven't developed a skill set

00:03:47.120 that you need, if you haven't maximized your performance where you currently are, there's

00:03:51.940 no other performance. There's no other project. There's no other place that is going to help you feel

00:03:57.840 better about who you are. You have to learn to maximize and leverage every single opportunity

00:04:03.620 that you have where you currently are. Let me give you an example of that. Order of man is my purpose.

00:04:09.800 I am here on this earth to run this movement, to create a business, to inspire millions of other

00:04:15.660 men. I believe that. I didn't always know that was the case. Even as I started, I didn't know that

00:04:20.380 was the case. But one thing I did is I excelled in my financial planning practice, which is what I did

00:04:26.300 prior to this. I wasn't out there looking for something better at the expense of what I currently

00:04:31.720 was doing. I wasn't half-assing it in my current job. I wasn't taking it easy. I wasn't coasting.

00:04:37.340 I was trying to maximize everything that I could. And one thing that I did that drastically altered

00:04:43.040 the course of my life about 10 years ago is I decided to start a podcast. And that podcast was

00:04:50.100 called Wealth Anatomy. And it was designed to teach and educate medical professionals on how to invest,

00:04:57.840 how to retire, how to create estate plans, how to create retirement planning, how to create

00:05:02.780 employee benefits for their colleagues and coworkers. And I did that because I thought podcasting would

00:05:09.800 be a great way to promote what we're doing and my services. Now I did about 20, 25 episodes,

00:05:15.260 and I realized very, very briefly or shortly that I love podcasting. I love being behind this

00:05:21.900 microphone. I love being behind this camera. I love sharing and communicating an important message

00:05:26.560 to people in this medium. And I wasn't doing it so I could go start Order of Man. Order of Man

00:05:31.800 wasn't a thing. It wasn't even on my radar. I did it because I wanted to maximize my business. And I

00:05:38.080 believed that the financial services that we offered were important enough that as many people as I could

00:05:44.420 get to hear what I had to say was extremely, extremely important. So I launched this podcast

00:05:50.900 again, realized I loved it, but I found out that I didn't want to continue to have the same conversation

00:05:56.300 that I was having for about eight, nine years with financial services. And so after about 25 episodes,

00:06:02.100 I took everything that I learned, which wasn't a lot, but enough to then use that experience to leverage

00:06:09.160 into what is now the Order of Man podcast. And I started this as a side project.

00:06:14.120 I didn't anticipate it being a global movement. I didn't anticipate it being my career path. I

00:06:20.600 didn't anticipate the amount of men, millions of men that have heard our messages that have

00:06:25.540 implement what we share and have actually gone on to do great things themselves. That wasn't even on

00:06:30.480 my radar. I was doing the financial. I was satisfied. And yet I found this out simply because I was

00:06:36.420 trying to improve where I was. I've had all sorts of job opportunities and different things come up

00:06:42.960 because I was fully engaged where I was. The grass is not always greener on the other side. And if it

00:06:49.940 is, then you're going to find that out because you're doing everything that you possibly can at

00:06:53.780 work right now, or your life or your marriage or whatever facet of life that you're showing up.

00:06:58.940 Guys, go all in currently. Maybe there's a new project at work that you can take on. You don't

00:07:05.320 know what that's going to turn into. Maybe you recognize something at work that you need to improve,

00:07:10.100 and you have no idea what that will turn into. Too many of us as men are saying, well, that's not

00:07:14.440 my responsibility. They don't pay me to do that. And we do the bare minimum while we're telling

00:07:19.700 ourselves we want to find our passion and our purpose. Guys, if that's your mentality, even if

00:07:25.080 you found what your passion and purpose was, you probably wouldn't recognize it, let alone go all

00:07:31.060 in on it because you don't know what it takes to go all in on something. So go all in with where you

00:07:37.540 are. And through the course of going all in and investing and pouring time and energy and resources

00:07:43.560 into your current occupation, into your current relationship, into your current hobby, don't

00:07:50.600 worry about finding your other passion. That will come. I promise you. It doesn't seem like it will

00:07:55.240 because you think it's out there. It might be, but we need to do what we can right now where we are,

00:08:01.280 which will give us better opportunities to find whatever it is out there or create something

00:08:07.140 where we currently are. Guys, number two, I want you to explore all of your hobbies, all of your

00:08:13.700 interests, all of your activities, all the things that you've ever thought you wanted to do. I want

00:08:18.360 you to start exploring those things. I want you to say yes to those things. You never know where that's

00:08:23.320 going to take you. Maybe you've always wanted to run a firearms course. You like, you like firearms,

00:08:29.100 but you've never taken a course and you decide that, Hey, I'm going to sign up for this course

00:08:32.920 because it sounds interesting. Who knows that could lead to you becoming a firearms instructor.

00:08:38.020 Will it? I don't know. And neither do you, but we owe it to ourselves to find out. Uh, I just, uh,

00:08:44.800 got tickets to do something that I've kind of wanted to do, but kind of scares me at the same time

00:08:49.840 is skydiving. It's always been on my radar. It's something I've wanted to do again. I'm not overly

00:08:56.100 thrilled about it, but it's an opportunity to do something. I'm in the position to be able to do

00:09:00.300 it. I have the time to be able to do it. And so I'm going to go do that with someone else and we're

00:09:05.440 going to go do it together. I'm a little scared. I'm a little freaked out. Maybe it turns into

00:09:09.740 nothing. Maybe I do it once. Maybe I want to get certified. I have no idea, but it's something I'm

00:09:15.500 interested in and I owe it to myself to go explore it too. Often men will not explore those veins

00:09:22.300 because they're busy and they have other responsibilities and they have obligations

00:09:26.340 and they can't take time off from work and all the other excuses that we create, or they tell

00:09:31.920 themselves this will never produce any money. It will never produce any income. I'll never make

00:09:36.480 this my career. I'm not as excited about this to turn it into my passion. One little caveat with this

00:09:42.500 is we're going to go do these hobbies, interests, and activities with no expectation of results.

00:09:48.660 You're not there to make it your passion. You're not there to make it your career.

00:09:53.480 You're simply there to enjoy the experience that you've always wanted to participate in

00:09:58.560 and you might find something that you genuinely love. Maybe it's golfing, painting, hiking, rock

00:10:06.140 climbing, shooting, skydiving, cooking, sewing. I don't know what it is, but if it's interesting

00:10:13.500 to you, then go do it. If you've always wanted to be a pilot, go sign up for school or at least

00:10:21.540 take a flight in a helicopter or a fixed wing, whatever your desire is. Move towards what is

00:10:27.480 calling you. Here's what I found. There's not some thing that whether it's God or the universe or

00:10:33.780 whoever that's going to come and bang you on the head and tell you this is what you should be doing

00:10:38.240 and has you kneel in front of them and dub you on the shoulder with the sword and you rise a night

00:10:42.740 and you rise, you know, with your passion and your purpose and calling in life. It doesn't work like

00:10:47.980 that. It's usually something very small, something you didn't even see coming, something you didn't

00:10:53.480 anticipate. It was just a little voice or a little urge or a little desire to do something. And the guys

00:10:59.820 that have found their passion, they followed it. Not with the expectation of anything in return,

00:11:05.020 but purely for the experience. They had one experience. They liked it. They did it again

00:11:08.920 and again and again. And they started to delve more into that arena and world. And lo and behold,

00:11:14.040 here they are now. Very purpose-driven, very passionate about their current occupation or

00:11:20.260 field they're in. That's how it works, guys. When I started Order of Man nine years ago,

00:11:25.760 I didn't know it was going to turn into this. So I did a podcast and I'd work two hours in the

00:11:30.180 morning and I'd work an hour or two at night after my quote unquote real job. And then it was

00:11:34.720 three hours and then it was four hours and then it was five hours. And then eventually I decided I

00:11:38.880 need to take this full time. And I sold my financial planning practice to a friend and colleague so that

00:11:44.720 I could go all in on this. But it didn't happen until I was willing to take the first step, then

00:11:50.140 the next, then the next. Number three, here's some questions that you can ask yourself. The first

00:11:54.840 question and write this one down. What problems do you see in the world? What problems do you see in

00:12:01.100 the world? You know, I know we like to poke at certain activists and, you know, there's certain

00:12:06.160 movements that, you know, I don't necessarily agree with that I think are a real problem actually,

00:12:11.880 but you can't take away anything from the fact that the people who are engaged in these things,

00:12:17.500 even if it's ignorant or intelligent, wherever it is on the spectrum, they're passionate about it.

00:12:23.920 Guys, there's a problem with the world. I don't know what you see as the problem. I only know

00:12:29.580 what I see as the problem. And the problem I see is that we don't have enough males stepping up

00:12:35.080 and making themselves into men capable of leading themselves and other people. Well,

00:12:40.280 I saw that growing up. I see that as a man. That's a real issue. That's a real problem that I think we

00:12:46.900 as a society need to address or we're doomed. And because I believe so strongly about it, I'm going

00:12:52.420 to put myself in the arena and the game and do something about it. So maybe for you, it's hunting.

00:12:58.700 Maybe it's climate control. Maybe it's who knows world peace. Maybe it's solving hunger. Maybe it's

00:13:05.120 ending wars. I don't know. Again, some of this stuff I don't necessarily agree with. It doesn't

00:13:09.680 matter what I think. What matters is that you see a problem that needs to be addressed. Maybe you have

00:13:14.820 a better way or a better mousetrap that could solve the biggest problems in the world. And you would

00:13:19.740 find meaning and satisfaction from that. You don't need to solve the problem today. You just need to put

00:13:24.820 your foot in the water and get yourself in the game. And once you do that, you're going to start

00:13:28.840 to expose yourself to all sorts of new information and different people and new ideas and new industries

00:13:34.860 that are going to eventually move you towards this thing that could be calling to you. Guys, if you see

00:13:41.460 a problem in the world, then it's your responsibility to deal with it. Oftentimes, I'll get an email from

00:13:47.580 guys who will say, hey, Ryan, here's a problem I recognize and I see you should do something about it.

00:13:52.160 No, you should do something about it. I've already got my challenge. I've already got the problem I'm trying

00:13:58.100 to solve. Now, I'll help you. I'll assist. I'll promote if I think it's a worthwhile cause. But I've got

00:14:04.740 mine. What's yours? Don't message me and tell me you want me to do it. I'm going to message you back and say

00:14:11.800 you do it. And how can I help support you in solving the problems that you see? Which leads me to my next

00:14:19.640 point. There are some experiences that you've had in your life that are going to help you see those

00:14:25.120 problems in a way that I can't. So, for example, I grew up without a permanent father figure in my

00:14:31.040 life. My dad was primarily out of the picture at a very early age. I had a couple of stepfathers

00:14:35.860 come into my life who weren't great examples of what it means to be a man. I saw that as a problem.

00:14:41.480 As a young man, I would have liked to have had a better role model, a better influence in my life.

00:14:46.020 And because of that, and because I see that now as a problem, I don't want other men to experience

00:14:51.880 that. I don't want my children to experience that. So, I'm going to do everything that I can

00:14:56.720 to improve my own situation, to give other men resources and tools and information they need

00:15:03.140 to be able to make sure that that doesn't happen to them or the people in their lives.

00:15:07.980 I'm uniquely qualified to do that. And sure, there's millions and millions of other men who have

00:15:13.600 gone through similar or worse circumstances than I have, but the experiences that I have

00:15:18.740 make me primed to be able to solve the problems that I see. Did you grow up in a similar situation?

00:15:27.000 Did you grow up in extreme poverty? Did you grow up in an abusive household? Were there opportunities

00:15:33.360 that were afforded to other people and weren't afforded to you? What was the issue and what did

00:15:39.440 you experience and how did you overcome these challenges? Because if you overcame it and you

00:15:44.960 have a successful roadmap for doing it, then you can teach other people how to do that. And that would

00:15:50.160 be very rewarding and fulfilling to you. So, let's recap real quick. And then I'm going to give you some

00:15:56.060 questions that might help prime the pump a little bit with regards to how you can identify what you

00:16:02.400 have an aptitude or desire for. So, again, number one, finding your purpose as a man is to start where

00:16:10.880 you currently are and maximize every opportunity, leverage every tool and resource you have, and be

00:16:17.940 the best at whatever you're currently doing. I promise you it's going to create opportunities.

00:16:23.440 Number two, explore even to the small degree all the interests, hobbies, and activities that sound

00:16:30.360 interesting to you. If you've ever wanted to go do something, go do it. If you ever wanted to hike

00:16:35.820 the Grand Canyon, you ever wanted to go skydiving, you ever wanted to take a firearms course, you ever

00:16:40.200 wanted to learn how to cook more effectively, go do it. No expectation. This is not necessarily your

00:16:47.120 roadmap. You're just doing it purely for the experience. And the more experiences that you create

00:16:51.960 in your life, the better opportunity you have to find what it is you're meant to do and what you

00:16:57.020 should be doing. Number three, what problem do you see with the world? And then number four is what

00:17:03.420 have you personally gone through and overcome that's going to help you solve other people's

00:17:09.420 problems who are in a similar situation as you. Now, point number five, I'm going to give you three

00:17:15.820 questions that I think are very, very important and will help give you a little bit of access or insight

00:17:22.040 into what you should be doing. Okay. Number one, what would you be doing? What would you be doing

00:17:27.940 if money were of no concern? If all your bills were paid, everything was taken care of, what would you

00:17:35.040 be doing? Now, I know there's people who like to be kind of smart asses on this and say things that

00:17:40.740 they want to do. Fine, whatever. If that's your thing and that's what you would go do, then that's what

00:17:46.000 I'm talking about. Okay. If you would go live in the mountains as a mountain man and that's all you

00:17:51.680 would do, good. Like how do we get you to that point? How do we make that a reality for you? If money

00:17:58.240 were of no concern, no bills, all the bills were taken care of, no debt, independently wealthy, trust

00:18:03.780 fund, whatever it may be, what would you be doing with your time? I would be doing this. I would, I love

00:18:11.000 this so much that even if money were of no concern, I would still be doing this. It's that

00:18:15.280 important to me. Second question, what advice are people asking you for? Because what you're going

00:18:21.960 to notice is if people keep asking you for business advice, then they see something in you that you

00:18:26.940 might not see in yourself. If they're asking you, how do you take such amazing pictures? Or maybe you,

00:18:34.280 uh, you share some of your thoughts on social media and a bunch of people are asking you, man,

00:18:38.280 how do you write like that? Or how do you articulate your ideas so well? Or how do you present so well

00:18:43.160 in public? Those are little insights. If you have a bunch of people asking how you present so well in

00:18:48.600 public, maybe there's an opportunity for you to start teaching other people to present the way that

00:18:53.760 you do. If other people are asking you how you take pictures so well and how you see it, the lighting

00:18:58.860 and, and, and Photoshop and all the things that you're doing, maybe there's an opportunity for you

00:19:03.880 to leverage that and begin to teach other people as a career with how to take pictures, beautiful

00:19:11.260 pictures. Okay. Whatever people are asking you for, if you see a reoccurring theme, you might be onto

00:19:17.440 something. And the third question here is what am I doing when time goes the fastest? What am I doing

00:19:24.280 when time goes the fastest? Cause at that moment you're in the zone, you're in flow as Steven Kotler

00:19:29.680 might call it. You are, you are seeing it in real time. You're, you're completely immersed in what

00:19:37.680 you're doing. There's no distractions. You're not thinking about anything else. You're fully,

00:19:42.640 fully present in the moment. And when time is going fast, you know, you're hyper engaged,

00:19:47.620 which means that you should be finding more opportunities to be in that state because that's

00:19:53.880 the state where you perform the best. When time is going the fastest, nothing else matters.

00:19:58.960 You're all in and there's no distractions. If you can figure out what that is, you might be onto

00:20:06.000 something. So again, it's what would I be doing if money weren't a concern? Uh, what advice are

00:20:11.960 people asking me for? And what am I doing when time goes the fastest? So those are five. Now guys,

00:20:18.740 the last point that I want to make for you today, and look, I don't have the answer to exactly how

00:20:23.040 you're going to find your passion. What I wanted to do today is give you some questions and give you

00:20:28.100 some fuel to begin to think about what you might be doing and drive yourself towards action. You have

00:20:33.980 to take action. Nothing's going to come smack you across the face and say, this is what you need to

00:20:39.260 be doing. You need to take action towards new things, towards existing things. That's how you begin to find

00:20:45.880 your passion. The last thing is I want you to tap into a higher power. I believe in God. I tap into

00:20:52.680 God's presence in my life. I pray to God. I look for divine inspiration. I ask for opportunities for

00:21:00.580 me to serve other people. And that gives me a sense of power. It gives me a sense of clarity. It gives me

00:21:07.480 a sense of direction. And it helps me see that there's something bigger than just myself. I can't

00:21:13.500 imagine being in a position where I believe that all of this would go away and none of this really

00:21:18.600 matters in the eternal perspective. To me, it does. And because it matters, the way I show up

00:21:25.220 matters. The ends in my mind do not justify the means. The way I show up matters. And if I show up

00:21:34.820 properly, and if I show up the way that I feel I should based on my moral compass, then I believe

00:21:42.060 the ends will take care of themselves. So what is your higher power? Again, I believe in God.

00:21:49.340 If it's God, if it's the universe, if it's karma, if it's some sort of cosmic muse, I don't know. I

00:21:56.480 don't know what it is for you. But if you believe that there's something bigger, maybe it's just a

00:22:01.580 sense of community. Maybe that's your higher power. Maybe you just have this innate desire to serve

00:22:07.160 humanity because that's the right thing to do. If there's something bigger than yourself,

00:22:11.680 you can see the picture from a step back and realize that even though you might be a small

00:22:16.900 part to play, you're an integral part of the purpose, of the grand plan, of the grand design.

00:22:25.340 So find whatever that is. Ask people about spirituality. Ask people about what their higher

00:22:31.060 power is. Ask people what drives them, what motivates them. I used to believe that if you didn't

00:22:35.760 believe in God, that it didn't really matter and you couldn't have a moral compass. I don't think

00:22:40.620 that's true. I think even people who are atheists and don't believe in God at all or any form of

00:22:45.600 higher power, still many of them that I know are good people. Okay, well, where does that come from?

00:22:53.140 I think I know where it comes from. You disagree with me. So you tell me where does that come from

00:22:58.360 and then use it as fuel to serve that higher power or that higher moral compass that you abide by.

00:23:06.400 I think that's probably one of the most powerful things you can do and you can do it on a daily

00:23:10.160 basis and continue to ask yourself, what is my purpose, my small, seemingly insignificant purpose

00:23:17.440 in the grand scheme of things? Where do I fit in? What should I be doing? For me,

00:23:21.940 my desire is to become the best man that I possibly can be, to be the best protector,

00:23:29.360 to be the best leader, to be the best servant of the people that I love and care about,

00:23:34.380 to provide for those I love and care about, to provide and protect for those who can't take care

00:23:39.040 of themselves. If I can be that kind of guy, then I can go out and I can help other people do the same,

00:23:45.480 which I believe is the way to live for me. What is it for you? Explore it, consider it,

00:23:53.100 contemplate, pontificate, think about what that might be, pray about it, tap into the higher power,

00:23:59.340 and I think you'll begin to find your answers. But let's not fall into the trap of saying,

00:24:03.360 hey, if it's God's will, I don't believe it works like that either. I've seen so many men

00:24:07.960 say things like it's God's will and they let opportunity after opportunity and experience

00:24:13.960 after experience pass them by because they're waiting for God to interject. I don't think it

00:24:18.780 works like that. I think he has a desire for you to do great. I think he's going to present

00:24:23.420 opportunities for you to do so, but it's ultimately up to you to take advantage of them, to recognize

00:24:29.500 them, and to move forward with the opportunities presented. That's how you find your passion.

00:24:34.840 That's how you find your purpose in life. I can't tell you, just draw from a hat. I'll put a bunch

00:24:40.000 of things in here, draw from a hat. I can't tell you that one day you'll just wake up in the middle

00:24:45.100 of the night in a cold sweat, realizing what you're meant to do on this earth. All I know is

00:24:51.700 that regardless of your station in life, if you're satisfied or fulfilled or completely demoralized,

00:24:57.260 maybe in life right now, if you just keep going one step, one foot in front of the other towards the

00:25:04.600 triggers and things I gave you here today, that over time you're going to build your purpose.

00:25:09.700 You're not going to find it. You're going to develop it. You're going to articulate it. You're

00:25:14.080 going to uncover it. You're going to build it as we have here with Order of Man. So guys, I hope that

00:25:18.840 helps. If you have any other insights or ideas on how you can find your purpose and you want to

00:25:23.720 share those things, share them with me. I'll share them with the group. You can check it out at

00:25:28.520 Instagram. You can join our Facebook group. You can even sign up to be notified when our exclusive

00:25:33.260 brotherhood, the Iron Council, opens back up. We're all trying to help each other find our purpose.

00:25:37.600 That's at orderofman.com slash Iron Council. And you have your marching orders. I want everybody

00:25:43.100 to find their purpose. The world would be a better place if we did, but too many people,

00:25:47.020 too many men are playing less than they're capable of because they're just going through the motions

00:25:51.840 and they're not engaged in these things. Let's recap. And then I'll close out for the day.

00:25:56.220 It starts with where you are. Number two, explore all hobbies, interests, and activities without

00:26:01.080 expectation of results. Number three, what are the problems that you see in the world?

00:26:05.660 Number four, what experiences have you gone through that make you uniquely qualified to solve some of

00:26:10.980 these problems? Number five, what would I be doing if money was not a concern? What advice are people

00:26:17.080 asking me for? And what am I doing when time goes the fastest? And then number six, search for a higher

00:26:23.660 power. All right, guys, I hope that serves you in some way. I'm fulfilling my purpose and mission,

00:26:28.620 and I hope I'm doing that effectively. I want you to go out and do the same. Guys, we'll be back next week

00:26:33.320 for our interview show. Until then, go out there, take action, find your purpose. Actually, I'll say

00:26:39.740 it this way. Build your purpose and become the man you are meant to be. Thank you for listening to the

00:26:46.180 Order of Man podcast. If you're ready to take charge of your life and be more of the man you were meant
