The Purpose Driven Husband II

We are created in a sphere of single but one with many members. We can't help it; it's in our DNA. Consciously or not, we ascribe meaning and value to everything we see, touch, and otherwise experience. That person is smart; that one isn't. He doesn't understand the strategy; our targets are unrealistic. Each one of these judgments is shaped by an underlying narrative that determines how we interpret the data we receive. Some of these narratives are conscious, and many are unconscious. The purpose driven husband purpose is foundation and has always been the subject through history of the believer in Christ, supporting the building, and its main benefit. However, its role is far more important than just being a standing stone. A good foundation, properly laid and installed, also serves to keep moisture off the property by forming an effect dam against ground water. It may seem like a simple part of the overall process, but your foundation is the most important part of your existence. The biggest reason any mistakes you make in the foundation will only get worse as you go up. It's known as compounding defects and it means that mistakes grow. Here's an example: You notice that your slab foundation is 3/4" out of square when you start framing. It's also 1/2" out of level across the total building. You figure, "well, I can handle that. I'll just adjust it in the framing. Here's another reason that your foundation deserves focus and attention to detail: your entire house sits on top of it! If you skimp here and something fails, it's not an easy fix. Is it worth the extra few dollars to add a bit more rebar to the slab? Yes. Ensuring that the foundation is built to the best standards possible is very much worth it. Here are some simple things to look out for when building your foundation and/or slab. The layout for the foundation rebar depends on the size of foundation wall and the local codes. The scriptures give us specification i.e. code of conduct. That rust will creep down the rebar and, over time, render the entire rebar system useless. Creeping compromising will cause you to bend and the enemy will slowly cause demoralizing/deterioration in your spirit. Pay attention to the layout of your foundation and slab. Make sure your corners are square and level. The closer to perfect you are, i.e. mature pay attention to those things that cause water damage You're designed to have vison and aligned behind a vision. Common practices to create alignment are to clarify, add detail, explain more ardently, or communicate more frequently. These are good options, but they will ultimately be ineffective unless the husband and the family are operating out of a shared view of reality. The key to a powerful strategy isn't just about getting the strategy clear, it's about getting the underlying narratives behind the strategy aligned as well. The purpose driven mission and strategy. Is the starting point starting point. Strategies can't merely be communicated; they must be understood in a broader landscape. Cultures and values aren't just shaped by intent; they're shaped ultimately by a story about who we need to be to succeed. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, careers aren't shaped by tactical choices which optimize in the short term, they're ideally shaped by an aspirational narrative that tell a future-based story of who we want to become. My purpose is to lead my family with the narrative. I will evolve from my belief that authentic leadership can only come when my career and life goals are aligned - when my leadership is an expression of who I am. My mission is to bring peace, clarity, possibility, and purpose to my family. My family is the way I contribute to the world and influence other men to be better. When men know what they're doing and why they're doing it, there's coherence between the narratives that drives behavior at all organizational levels, and that's when purpose-driven strategy can really come to life.
