What
happens to men who are fuzzy about their personal standards and expectations for their own life?
They
adopt somebody else's.
It's
plain and simple and enormously frustrating.
We
become chameleons who constantly change our standards and expectations to please others.
We
do it for validation and acceptance.
This
leads to low-grade anger and resentment which then leads to a drop in confidence and self-respect.
And
an angry man is a chronically unhappy man.
Ask
me how I know this. ;^)
“Men
are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.”

It
doesn't have to be complicated. The simpler the better.

What
is one standard, one personal expectation or meaningful mantra you will claim for yourself?
How
will you be conscious and deliberate in the following days in living it?
And
how will you make sure you stay clear, consistent and confident in your values?
They
are intensely focused on YOU and YOUR THINKING.
There
are not for everyone. But they are perfect for the man willing to try something different...something
strangely
counter-intuitive.
If
you're ready for a powerful and intensely personal conversation about where you want to go, we're ready. Get a comfy chair and a cup of coffee. This conversation is NOT a "taster session".
