Hey,
It's one day past Christmas day and 5 days to a brand new year.
A lot of men really start wondering what the hell they are doing about this time.
Should I change jobs? Change careers? Find a purpose? Follow my "passion"?
You may even be wondering if you should stay in your marriage or blow it up and find something or someone new.
Here's what I know for sure.
If you believe for one second that "changing" something outside of you is going to change your general sense of happiness, satisfaction or well-being then you're wasting a crap load of time.
Stop thinking that way. Stop thinking that if you "could only" do or have something new that your insides will magically change.
Your "insides" (happiness, satisfaction and well-being) are NOT driven by what you do or what you have.
It something much more important and something MUCH more in your control than you think.
The dirty little secret held by men who are generally happy, secure, content and confident is this.
THEY ARE SIMPLY GOOD AT LIVIN'.
Being "good at livin' " is a state of BEING...not doing and not having.
Being "good at livin' " is a direct result of how we choose to be and THINK...right now.
This means we're not dreading our past mistakes and we're not fearing our future predicaments.
The best way to "find your passion" is to let it find YOU when you are living in the right now...consistently...every single day. When you learn to do this, passion finds YOU. Purpose finds YOU.
This means you must get better at living in the NOW. Today. In the next hours between now and bedtime. (you get a blank slate in the morning!)
I know how the uncertainty of a woman's love can catapult you into a storm of future fears.
I know how the uncertainty of the economy and a pandemic can make you feel powerless and stuck.
Uncertainty seems to make men shift into neutral and idle their engine.
Uncertainty makes us tentative, indecisive and wishy-washy.
Uncertainty can make us feel so weak that we can't stand ourselves.
In this really short video, I want to give you some encouragement about your perceived uncertainties.
