A man who lacks purpose will distract himself with pleasure.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast.

I am Elizabeth Benton.

This is our consistency 365 series.

These are many episodes that air between our full-length

Monday and Saturday episodes,

so that we all develop the habit of looking for the opportunities that exist

every single day to move the needle to make progress. We don't have to have all of our ducks in a row.

We don't have to be in the perfect set of circumstances because there is something we can do every single day.

This is actually our second to last episode in this series. It was a year-long series but because it was five days a week it

actually ran longer than a year. It's kind of crazy that it is coming to an end.

I'll share more about that tomorrow, but I saw this message, no attribution to this quote,

but it's not mine.

It says a man who lacks purpose will distract himself

with pleasure.

And I honestly think we are seeing that in epidemic proportions right now.

The number of people who are just going through life like it's Groundhog Day and because they don't have a purpose

because they don't have something they're really excited about something that

they're really passionate about they distract themselves with pleasure.

And the simple pleasures of life

that are not the most meaningful things in life

hold so much temptation and so much allure because there's not something bigger and brighter.
