You know, you're supposed to be manly.

And there is nothing manlier than working hard, taking care of your family, and providing for them.

But then things get a little too comfortable. It happens to the best of us.

Let's be honest here; it's pretty easy to do nothing on a Sunday afternoon when your wife is doing all of the chores and taking care of the kids. Maybe you'll even sneak out for a few minutes to watch some football while she's putting clothes in the dryer or making dinner. She doesn't mind, right? It's not like she's going to notice that you're gone, right?

This kind of behaviour is exactly what makes women get sick of men—that's why they bolt to find "better" men who put in more effort. But the truth is that these women aren't looking for better men; they're looking for better husbands—men who are constantly improving themselves so that they can improve their marriage. You may have heard somewhere before that it takes two people to make a marriage work, but in reality, it takes two people working together to keep a marriage going strong.

Most think they know what their FEAR is that’s holding them back.

What I’ve come to learn over my years in this space is that the FEAR we think we have, the one that we need to overcome is only surface level.

That deep down there’s a deep rooted FEAR, and until that is uncovered and addressed, one will never tap into his highest potential - in business, health or any area of life.

Stay Strong

- RISING KINGS

Our defining moments are those that are uncomfortable and we did not plan for.

Moments that challenge us on levels we didn’t expect.

In recent times one of those moments for many, has been LOCKDOWN.

No one planned it.

No one ever thought we would be stripped of our rights.

The little things we take for granted.

Visiting family and friends, driving to the beach or simply disconnecting from life as a man.

Many have seen the LOCKDOWN as a threat.

Myself and the brothers inside RISING KINGS have made it, an opportunity.

LOCKDOWN has awakened me to new levels of gratitude and self acceptance.

It reminded me that nothing is permanent.

Before you rush back into your ‘old routine’ of life, do yourself a favour and ask - WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT?

About yourself…

About your family…

Did you get lazy?

Were you filled with anger?

or DID YOU EVOLVE?

One of the greatest things about kids, outside of their energy is their curiosity.

They are curious about everything,

But as we get older we become jaded and we loose that curiosity.

We become stubborn…

We get stuck…

Our ego’s begin to grow

And often times we’re looking for evidence to prove ourselves correct.

We stop listening to understand and begin listening to just reply.

But true growth comes from being CURIOUS.

To seek to know more, to know better…

Cause we’re all eternal students

And we must be willing put in THE WORK day in and day out.

The work... what is the work?

The courageous wolf or the fearful wolf, which one are you?

All men are made of two wolves.

At every moment and for every decision we make, we have an opportunity to feed one of these wolves

There’s the courageous one & the fearful one.

And it comes down to the language we use and the way we view the world.

Ever catch yourself saying :

Shit I'm not good enough…

I could have done better…

I should have done this…

I fucked up…

Maybe your second guessing yourself and questions yourself constantly

We’re either feeding the good in ones self - The Courageous Wolf

Working towards the right things.

Giving yourself…

Grace

Gratitude

Positive reinforcement

Or

We’re feeding the Fearful Wolf.

The question always comes down to - AM I GOOD ENOUGH.

This podcast is going to trigger you.

But understand, we’re coming from tough love.

We’ll be raising your awareness.

Once you’re shown this, you will start to see it.

The thing is, we think we’re growing, changing, evolving…

But we’re not.

It’s not until we look at our progress.

What has actually changed in the last 3, 6, 12 months?

You realise nothing.

You notice there and if you catch it, you’ll notice...

We live with our own lies and excuses.

It’s a false sense of growth, an illusion not many middle-aged men are aware of.

It’s called mental masturbation.

You might say…

“I Listen to Jacko Williks podcast”
“I follow and watch David Goggins motivational videos”
“I read Mark Manson’s “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” book”

Nothing wrong with that.

But so what?

What have you DONE about it?

We get hyped up once a week, twice a week with these “motivational” pieces.

Telling ourselves, and giving ourselves a false dose of growth.

We THINK we’re “DOING THE WORK” but we’re not actually “DOING THE WORK”.

You get a FEELING of doing the “WORK” but you’re not “DOING THE WORK”

That’s the risk.

If we stay in this cycle, nothing changes.

There will be no midlife transition.

Ready to break the cycle?

We’re not talking about taking a stand in terms of getting vaccinated or not.

This has nothing to do with what you think is right or wrong.

Taking a stand is about becoming a man of your word.

It’s about cutting the BS excuses.

It’s about stepping forward and owning yourself.

On today's Livestream, we’re going to dig in on what this all means and what it takes to level up as a MAN.

Ready for a real conversation?

When it comes to our relationship with ourselves, the common thread we see over and over again in men moving through midlife is putting themselves last.

We have good intentions for those closest to us and those we love.

We want to provide for them, show up, give them a better quality of life and make an impact.

By putting everyone else first, we suffer the consequences like:

• Low energy levels
• Burn out
• Guilt
• Annoyed
• Remorse
• Nagging relationships
• Easily triggered
• Resenting those you love most

We're mentally fatigued.

We want to give everyone our all because it makes us feel good.

But the truth is... we can’t fill up their bucket if our bucket is a quarter full.

Ever catch yourself thinking why isn't life where you thought it would be?

We dive into a common midlife reality a lot of men face...

Where we find ourselves wondering why life hasn't landed where we thought it would be.

Constant mental chatter in our heads saying:

"I thought I was going to be [INSERT DESIRE], but I'm not - why?"

"I wanted X, Y and Z, but I haven't got it yet - why?"

"I envisioned my life differently, why haven't I got it?"

This leads to pain and suffering.

... and it's not necessary.

Hope it gives you some new perspectives.
