Podcast Episode 4 Summary
In M4M episode 4, “Developing Your Mission,” I discuss the concept of “Developing Your Mission” -- In a past episode, I said--
The first step to being a person or organization ‘on mission’ is simply to have a mission!
So, here in episode 4, I begin to think about the question, “How do I get a “mission?”
If you spend 10 minutes to listen to Episode 4, then you will hear some of the things you need to consider in order to “Develop Your Mission.”
As you will hear, there are many factors to consider when you are “Developing Your Mission.”
- It takes wisdom and discernment.
- It takes carving out adequate time for careful thought.
- It takes the discipline of writing down ideas, editing, revising.
- It takes advice and vetting with trusted friends and colleagues.

Cardiologist Randy Cohen, MD, medical director of University Medical Practice Associates at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. “Reviewing data from ten studies involving 136,000 men and women, Dr. Cohen and his colleagues found that people with a low sense of purpose, as measured by psychological surveys, were more likely to have a stroke, heart attack, or coronary artery disease requiring a stent or bypass surgery. Individuals with a high sense of purpose had a lower risk of developing the same conditions. “

Podcast Episode 2 Summary
In M4M episode 2, we explore some thoughts surrounding the question,
“What is Your Mission?”
In Episode 1, I stated that “direction is important.”
If you listen to this Episode 2, then you will begin to be equipped to genuinely ask, “Do I know where I am heading?” and have a few tools to help you answer.
Getting up to go to work to make some money to buy some stuff to go home to go to sleep to get up to go to work to make some money to buy some stuff to go home to go to sleep… is NOT a life pattern that makes one fulfilled nor does it help other much.
Quotable and Notable
Some writers help us to try to remember the important things.
Theologian, Frederick Buechner, wrote-
“Vocation comes from the Latin vocare, to call, and means the work a man is called to by God. There are all different kinds of voices calling you to all different kinds of work, and the problem is to find out which is the voice of God rather than of Society, say, or the Super-ego, or Self-interest… Neither the hair shirt nor the soft berth will do. The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
