The Mind Drug

The Mind Drug
  • Pleasure is fast becoming the purpose of life for too many men
  • Pleasure can be a drug for our mind
  • We have to understand the purpose of pleasure and the danger of it

Pleasure is not a Purpose
  • When a man lives for pleasure, he is not really living with purpose
  • The pleasure makes you feel good but it doesn’t bring a long term satisfaction 
  • We were designed to lead ourselves and to lead others
  • Pleasure is not a purpose, it is just a feeling

Pleasure Comes from Purpose
  • Pleasure cannot be a purpose
  • Pleasure is a by-product of a purpose
  • The satisfaction that is lasting comes from purpose and not pleasure
  • When a man lives on purpose, he can enjoy the pleasure
  • Pleasure comes from the freedom of living for a greater purpose than selfishness
  • Your adventure as a man starts in your mind
  • You have to understand your purpose
  • You have to live your purpose out

Helping Men Live a Life They can be Proud of!
Many guys get trapped in focusing on one area of their life at the expense of everything else. It could be their physical health, their career, a sport, or even a hobby. The problem is this: A Truly Successful Life isn't one-dimensional! That is why there are miserable millionaires. Who cares how much money you have if, for example, you have no one you can call a true friend?
There has to be a better approach than this.
The Thriving Man Podcast helps men grow in the 4 fundamentals of their life: Emotional, Mental, Physical, & Spiritual. We help men see that "Success is Inside Out and On the Way!"
