Becoming A Better Man

Men, we don’t always want to admit it, but growth requires shedding of layers. That means shedding people too. If we’re on a path of growth for yourself and our health, career, or relationship, then we have to be aware of those around us and how they’re influencing us. It’s never a bad idea to audit our environment and see who’s got what we want for ourselves and who wants to keep us down by negative influence.

Fellas, have you got control issues? In this episode we talk about how trying to control things and others in your life is repeatedly backfiring. The more you try to control, the less control you end up having and it spirals. Surrender and trust the bigger plan while focusing on taking care of yourself instead.

Guys...this one is going to be hard. We’re talking about forgiveness this week. I used to think forgiveness meant free passes for repeated pain, because it was what I knew. I hadn’t learned about setting boundaries and connecting with myself so those second chances turned into twenty chances. But you can forgive and still let go of those people. Or you can let go of their power over you emotionally. What they don’t tell you is that forgiveness is for you...not them. Check out this week’s episode to see what I mean.

Men, the most successful of us have really unfortunate things happen. Success in any area doesn’t mean immunity. What it does mean is that it reflects an ability to roll with the punches.

Brothers, we’ve all been angry about how angry we’ve gotten before, right? You’ve taken something too far because you felt wronged or needed to prove that you were right and they were wrong...as if that’s going to work. Anger is a symptom of another issue, and when we stop doing things like taking our anger out on the weights or the bottle...and start using the weights as a way to work through why we’re upset, we can start seeing it more clearly and learn from it. Not to mention, it’ll strengthen you and your relationships instead of strain them. To support the episode - https://anchor.fm/becomingabetterman/support
