Last year a 125,000 acre wildfire was about 3 miles from burning down my house, barn and the "He Shed/She Shed" you've seen me building.
Yeah, really.
I ended up hanging out 40 miles away in the basement of a friend with my girlfriend in tow along with 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 horses. I'm glad I have good friends I can lean on for
help.
It was also good to have a grocery store 8 minutes away and about 25 pubs just 10 minutes away for the first time in my life. And I could still have my coaching sessions and get other projects done.
If the house burnt down, I had insurance. It would have been a huge pain but it wouldn't have been the end of the world.
You might say,
"Damn, you handled that well!" And you would be right.
And so would have you. Am I right?
I bet you typically respond to hardship, difficulty, challenges and unfortunate situations like a WARRIOR. You face it head on - make plans - make stuff happen and plow through. Nothing scares you that much.
Even when things are
100% out of your control, you learn quickly you can RESPOND with clear, decisive action and take the lead. And when you do that you feel better, calmer and more in control of the stuff you can control.
So if us dudes are that good with most of the inconveniences of life, why do we completely lose it
when facing rejection or the possibility of divorce?
It's the ONE FRONTIER where a man can feel not only powerless...but entirely incapable of thinking clearly. The threat of failure, abandonment and upheaval of his "master plan" creates paralysis.
He can't respond to anything. Everything feels like an emotional reaction...24/7.
And that's when we normally first hear from him.
