  • How to be aggressive, assertive, and positive as a man | MMC23
    Episode 23: Be Aggressive/Assertive/Positive
    Passive men will let life happen to them. They will say, “Whatever!” when faced with a decision – they will let their wives and kids make and break the rules of their home. They’ll let their boss walk all over them. They’ll let their business, health, and relationship fall apart instead of dealing with them.
    My advice is to be AGGRESSIVE - ASSERTIVE - POSITIVE
    Be Aggressive –
    Take charge of YOUR life – and lead yourself. Hunt out the holes in your integrity, and patch them up. Set goals and crush them. Determine your path – and run it like a stinking clydesdale.
    Aggression has a negative connotation – so we want to clarify – unless you are physically protecting yourself or your family from harm – aggressiveness should not be directed toward people.
    Be Assertive –
    Communicate expectations clearly, and consistently. People cannot treat you the way you want them to treat you unless you tell them HOW to treat you. Don’t be afraid to be “the bad guy”
    Be Positive –
    Eyeore will NEVER be on top – why? because he’s a sad-sack-hack full of sawdust and complaints.
    You’ve got to use positive words. Because they are like magic.
    Instead of dragging yourself and everyone around you down with negative words (I can’t /You always… / I hate… / I’ll never… ) then start filling it with positivity!

  • Take Responsibility | Embracing the power of personal responsibility as a man | MMC22
    Episode 22: Take Responsibility
    There was a phrase that I heard a boy constantly. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!
    Probably because I was always making excuses and passing the buck.
    I have to admit – I never really understood it for a long time. Someone told me once, “If you want to get out of the mess you are in – you need to embrace the fact that you are in the position you are in because of the choices you have made.”
    I’ll be honest. This pissed me off. I was an idiot – and I blamed my financial situation on the company that laid me off – on the system, which seemed designed to keep me down – on the economy – on student loan companies for tricking me into signing them – etc. etc.
    Now, I hear the echoes of those words in my ears, and I realize that I really am where I am because of the choices I have made. Some of those choices were good choices – but even good choices have tough consequences!
    No one is holding you down. No one is keeping you back.
    Stop blaming racism, politics, bullies, your crappy parents, your ex-wife, your lack of friends or anything else for your problems.
    Sometimes, I think our “problems” are really just opportunities to test our metal. We look at them as holes that we fall into, when really, they are the CHANCE to prove to ourselves and those around us just what kind of men we are!
    But it won’t happen if we make excuses. It won’t happen if we blame others (even if they are to blame!)

  • Remember Me? | Man Crush Monday | MMC21
    today we’re doing go take a look at our Man Crush Monday - where we honor men who have exemplified character, courage, and honor. Today, we’re going to look at a very memorable American who fled to another country, and fought for their independence.
    These days, tensions in Washington DC are often hot. Accusations against politicians happen every day. But on this occasion, William Stanbery was dragged out into the street and beaten with a Hickory Cane. His attacker came to DC to stick up for the rights of indigenous peoples, and expose the government frauds who were mistreating them.
    But Washington politics weren’t ready for accountability - so the attacker was brought to trial and fined $500 - in those days - a small fortune. He fled the country - and went to a newly formed Republic, where he was commissioned as a Major General in the Army. He fought hard, and climbed the ranks to Commander in Chief, when he signed that country’s Declaration of Independence on his 43rd Birthday.
    It was under his watch that a 13 Day enemy siege at a small church was lost to the enemy. So he mustered the ragtag troops -a very small force compared to the massive and well trained army. It took him a little over a month to whip those boys into shape - but they went up against the full force of the Mexican military - and won in 18 minutes, because this little army new to strike when the Mexican army would be taking their afternoon Siesta.
    And our hero led the Army of the Republic of Texas to victory - with the rallying cry to “Remember the Alamo!”
    Grit, Courage, Justice, Perseverance - that’s Why Sam Houston is today’s Man Crush Monday
