New year’s resolutions are so last year. And the year ahead will be filled with even more tired puns if you don’t do things more purposefully than before.

Be grounded in hope with purpose, rather than just wishes and dreams without a plan.

Understanding the impact that you have on your children will allow you to make more informed parenting decisions about how you’re raising them.

A child with a low or unhealthy self-esteem is more likely to be drawn into the fake promises or unrealistic appeal of those out to manipulate them.

Realising the impact of your approach to giving them space and connecting with them will create opportunity to add depth and substance to your relationship with your child without blurring the lines of parenting.

Your character is defined by what you think of yourself, while you social stature is about what others think of you.

When you focus on social stature, you become a slave to social expectations and lose yourself to how others respond to you.

When you focus on character, on substance, on what connects with purpose in your life, you’ll attract the social stature that has merit from those who recognise your credibility as a person.

The easiest way to lose yourself to your flex is to invest more appreciation and gratitude in what others think of you and what you have, than you do in what you think of your progression in life and how you affect the lives of those who are important to you.

The problem is greater than appears on the surface because men, unlike women, generally lack the emotional competence to explain how they feel or why they feel that way beyond their immediate reaction to something.

This is not necessarily a deficiency, it’s just how men rationalise life, and the world around them.

Watch this episode to gain fresh perspectives about what makes a man tick, and what it says about a man who takes no pride in showing up for those around him.

Without intending to, it seems like we started a discussion that is apt for the month of November that is dedicated to men’s mental health.

Tell me what you think.

This is a bold but insightful discussion looking closer at the feminist movement and its impact on society.

Far from diminishing the importance of its objectives, this discussion explores whether the approach and its origins are improving society, or simply reversing the harm that they set out to address.

Perhaps the reason why generational wealth is being discarded in favour of contemporary trends in mainstream mental health is because we talk about why things are important, but we don’t create opportunity to experience it.

We pass on generational wisdom by living the values with our families, and not by reprimanding them into compliance about it.

It is the value of what we believe is important that must be conveyed, and not just the practice of traditions and rituals because of our need to maintain a cultural identity.

In this episode, we unpack the wisdom that has been lost to modernism in the hope of inspiring a reconnection with what creates a cohesive social structure rather than blaming social media for all our ills.

The trend of cutting off parents for emotionally charged reasons is massively detrimental to the long-term wellbeing of all affected persons.

This is especially true for the children of the ones who are cutting off ties with extended family members, and especially they own parent, leaving the children without a set of grandparents.

Cutting people off in general usually solves the wrong problem and creates many new and even bigger problems.

Before you follow the trendsetters and influencers who, for the most part, do not even have meaningful life experiences you may want to consider some fresh perspectives about whether or not cutting people out of your life is in fact good for you, let alone them.

In today’s episode, we continue the discussion from last week where we unpacked what happiness is really about.

This is not a philosophical or theoretical discussion. As always, we keep it real and practical.

You know how it goes. If you don’t understand a problem well enough, you will struggle to find a solution to it.

If you’re not aware of your understanding falling short, you’ll convince yourself that the problem cannot be solved because you’ve tried everything.

This is absolutely true about our pursuit of happiness, and pretty much our efforts at trying to create a life worth living.

The myths about happiness make it all the more elusive.

If it was a choice, there would be no unhappy people in this world.

Everyone wants to be happy.

Unfortunately, if we don’t realise how we may be getting into our own way, we may end up blaming people, society, or even fate for our misfortunes.

Watch this episode to get fresh insights that may be exactly what you need to reboot your efforts to create that life that you long for.
