The Shattered Mindset

Ep 55: When Purpose Sits Too Long

Melvin Larry Episode 55

“What if the reason you feel stuck… isn’t because you’re broken — but because you’ve been sitting too long? Your gift was built to move. Let’s talk about the leaks that happen when purpose is parked.”

When a billionaire’s jet malfunctioned because it wasn’t being flown, it reminded Melvin of his own 1995 Nissan Pickup that started leaking just from sitting idle.

In this powerful solo episode, Melvin shares real stories — including a near-perilous fishing trip with his father — to explore the truth about what happens when we don’t use our voice, gifts, or purpose.

From misdiagnosed breakdowns to the internal erosion caused by stagnation, this message is for anyone in transition, reevaluating their path, or rediscovering their calling in a new season of life.

Don’t just reflect — move. Start the engine.
