3 Keys For Men to live with Purpose
It all begins with an idea.
Wild at Heart by John Eldredge is one of the most impactful books I have ever read as a man. In this book, John lays out three core desires for a man’s soul: beauty, battle, and adventure. When I read this book as an 20 year old college student, I did not know it would send me on a pathway that ultimately led me to becoming a counselor and working primarily with men.
Over the years I have worked with hundreds of men and male adolescents. Without fail, I hear common themes coming up for them. These themes, when explored, inevitably come back to the lack of one or more of the three core desires that Eldredge lays out. But, I believe there is something even more foundational to a mans heart than these three core desires. I believe we long for purpose, meaning, and potency.
Beauty
We as human beings long for beauty. Beauty can come in many different forms - art, music, nature, the body, a newborn, food, etc. Beauty is a balm for an aching heart and is necessary in the healing of any emotional, psychological, or spiritual wound. For this reason, beauty cannot be removed from someone’s life without grave danger to their ongoing healing. I have counseled many clients to find ways to build beauty back into their reality
Adventure
Battle

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
