The Art of Masculinity 397. Don't Negotiate Yourself Out of Progress
If you had to decide between an easy shortcut or choosing a more difficult but correct route, which path would you take? How often do you cut corners when you know no one is looking? How are you improving your life (even in the smallest ways)?
Today, Johnny talks about what integrity means to him and why it is the best foundation when you’re building a ladder to your dreams. He also talks about why it only takes a little effort (done consistently) to start building those healthy habits which lead to maintaining a high level of integrity. Integrity is something we all need to take seriously. It can be so easy to slip-up when there are so many distractions out there.
Johnny uses a ton of different examples (the rabbit hole of binge-watching TV, being coached versus making decisions yourself, team sports, etc.) to show how you can flex your integrity every day. When you exercise that muscle, you’re showing the world–and yourself–that you’re taking your life seriously and that you know how to make the right decisions; whether you’re facing something small or if you’re confronted with a big project.
