Success Coaching for Men

Think of where you were in life 12 months ago. Now, compare to today. If you’ve grown and made progress, good for you! If you’ve reclined, get up and get going – you wasted a year.

Turn on your tv. Flip through 50 channels – 3 seconds per channel Turn off your tv. Walk away. Difficult? Of course it is. We see something we like and we want to see more. (Precisely the reason I got rid of my TV.)

I have fallen into this trap before – the idea that there’s an answer out there that’s hard to find but will unlock a happy life. What if… a. the answer is not out there (it’s in here) b. it’s not hard to find (just hard to accept) c. it’s not designed to unlock happiness [...]
