Manlihood

In this episode of the Manlihood Mancast, Josh Hatcher talks about SCARS.

We've all got scars. Words that were said to you when you were young... Things you saw that you should never have seen... Lifelong consequences from stupid decisions, whether ours or someone else's...

Men, make sure that they are SCARS not WOUNDS.

If you keep finding that you are sensitive about certain things, held back by the same unreasonable fears, or that you keep making the same bad decisions repeatedly, or that you have habits you just can't quit.... chances are good that you have a wound that never healed right. It's not a scar, it's a wound or an infection.

Get it cleaned out and get it healed. If that means you need to get some professional help, to talk to a trusted friend about it, or whatever - the only person that can make the decision to get that part of your life healed is you.

A scar shows you've been through the process.

An overly sensitive attitude, a destructive habit, a fearful mindset just show that you have a wound you need to work on.

Who do you think you are? How can a fat guy making peanuts tell me how to live my life? Why should I take advice from the guy that doesn't look or act nearly as manly as I do? That Hatcher guy isn't manly at all! What gives him the right to say that?

I think about these kinds of questions a lot. Fortunately - none of you mutter them out loud... though I'm sure those questions may occasionally bounce around in your heads.

I'm not here to tell you how to be rich. I'm not here to tell you how to be healthy. I'm not here to tell you how to do anything from a position of superiority.

In this episode of the Manlihood Mancast, Josh Hatcher says you have to deal with your crap, and tells you how he dealt with his.

Deal with your crap. A while back,  I had to deal with a sewer problem. Digging out a trench to move the crap so I could get to the pipe. I was covered in crap. I took a shower and got out and while drying off, I still smelled crap. It was gross. And I had to hop back in the shower again.

I went to a funeral for an old friend  afew . He had a lot of pain. A lot of crap.He choose to numb that pain by drinking and drugging until his liver quit. Through his addiction, he pushed his family away and hurt them.

I saw their grief as they choose to forgive him and to say goodbye.

He didn't deal with his crap.

So... I don't what kind of crap you guys are dealing with in your life... But make sure you deal with it!

No one likes to deal with crap.

But if you don't deal with it, it can make you sick and kill you.

Deal with your crap.

― Theodore Roosevelt

"any team, in any organization, all responsibility for success and failure rests with the leader. The leader must own everything in his or her world. There is no one else to blame. The leader must acknowledge mistakes and admit failures, take ownership of them, and develop a plan to win." 

— Jocko Willink (Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win)

The word gentleman has more connotations than it does definitions. It is important to clearly define what it means to be a gentleman, and to rid our minds of the mixed up messages we have often attached to the word.

I remember as a boy, well-meaning women teachers would use the word “gentlemen” to try to convince a class full of rowdy boys to sit still and be quiet.

Some boys, enthralled by the compliment of being referred to as “men” compiled. Most boys, offended at being called “gentle” didn’t comply.

I was often in the second category.

The word also conjures a cartoonish picture of a gentlemen of the Victorian era, in suit and bow tie, with a monocle and his hair parted in the middle.

He is not Popeye, Fred Flintstone or Yosemite Sam. He isn’t heroic or strong. He responds to tough circumstances with fear, or at best, really bad boxing form.

To this caricature, being gentle means being week.

To be a gentleman is not about being proper or mannered, or pedigreed or less likely to fight.

To be a gentlemen means to have honor… we give things and people the proper value, and treat them in a way that shows honor to their value.

That means showing courtesy and politeness when it matters.

That means showing respect where it is due.

That means treating people with kindness, and in some cases tenderness.

It also means defending that honor when sometime shows dishonor. 

To be a gentleman is a choice to live in a way that shows honor, and return then deserves honor.

In this episode of the Manlihood Mancast, Josh Hatcher talks about what it means to wake your inner grizzly.

Nature itself is going through a reset – the days are getting longer, the flowers and buds are forming on the trees, and mammalian creatures as awakening from their winter slumber.

As spring nears, you may find yourself still a little groggy from winter, and your inner grizzly may need some awakening.

Men, let’s look at how we can shake off the winter sleep and get ourselves ready to growl, eat fish, and maul hikers… err… something.

In this episode of the Manlihood Mancast, Josh Hatcher tells us why LEADERSHIP isn’t a dirty word.

The word LEADERSHIP sometimes seems to have a negative connotation attached. It’s not a dirty word – and it’s a skill that can make a man and his surroundings better.
