Is your world missing out on you?

I meet many men in my world with 2 things in common – They have a big heart & want to make a positive impact in their world.

A man who wants to step up and be a leader in their career and take more responsibility, because they truly ‘see’ others and can offer guidance that betters everyone involved, serving the bigger picture.

A man who wants to mentor and grow others, because helping others deeply fulfils him and he knows he has the ability to get the best out of others.

A man who wants to be the protector, provider and set a strong example for his children to follow.

A man who wants to connect and ignite passion in his relationship, or attract the partner of his dreams so he can fully give them the boundless love he’s held back for so long.

A man who wants to have a deeper meaning for his life in service of others.

These men have the best intentions, but unfortunately they get in their own way due to (to name a few):

- Self-doubt and a harsh inner critic that lives in their head

- Incessant worry about what others may think of them and their outward perception

- Fear of not living up to expectations and getting things wrong

- Unable to trust their own decisions

- Overwhelmed by emotions and anxiety

When these (very common) challenges take over us as men, not only do we suffer but our world suffers.

Our partner suffers, our family and kids suffer, our team and colleagues suffer, the people who need your help suffer, and the list goes on.

Every choice we make to remain hiding ourselves and continue to battle in silence, is a choice that can negatively impact others, and withholds positive impact on others.

Our world misses out on us.

I know this truth very well, because when I choose fear, self-berating and indecision, my partner suffers, and it crushes me. My family suffers, my business suffers, those who need my help, suffer.

I’ve learned the hard way, the moment I stop growing and building my capacity as a man, the less trust people have in me.

Which brings a lot of shame.

As men, we constantly have a choice. Do we stay small and let ourselves remain overwhelmed by challenge, or do we walk towards our challenges and become bigger than them.

In every moment we have that choice.

The journey begins by making conscious of what’s been unconsciously dictating our behaviours, and taking ownership of that. So it longer continues to determine our results.

There is a part of us that is unconsciously "keeping us safe", when in fact it's holding us back from embodying the confidence in our decisions, actions, voice, relationships and leadership, we know deep down we are capable of.

Our work as men is to bring light to what is unconscious within us, to repair what is wounded and reclaim the potency we've always had, so we can re-emerge a bigger version of ourselves that our world needs.

It’s time for your world gets to be truly impacted by you.
