Well family, I have to admit, I have been going through a really hard time lately, I have been working non stop 7 days the past 3 weeks. Have been dealing with burnout and depression on top of it. Rel... View More

I just worked 90 days straight 7×12s starting back in late December... I feel your pain bro. You just got to dig in and punch back harder than it is swinging at you. It takes ALOT out of you, but remember that you are more than the sum of your parts. You can rise above this. The hardest things for m... View More

Burdens of performance and competence are largely the domain of men.

View MoreBurdens of performance and competence are largely the domain of men. It's not our struggles that get to define us or mold us into the men we are, it's how we struggle with our battles, how we fight our opposition and how we handle ourselves during these tests, all while we maintain our dignity, our integrity and our responsibilities, that do define us. A legitimate definition of slavery is: "All the responsibility without any agency" Such things are so commonly seen in many marriages and relationships today that it's telling as well as the root foundations of many men's declining mental health. Leadership .... and it doesn't matter if you're a leader of men, a leader of a family, or both, are not some titles owed nor bestowed upon us ..... it must be earned and continually maintained. It's the domain of a warrior and comes with enormous responsibilities and countless tests of our competence. Our victories are very rarely even acknowledged ... but our failures come with enormous consequences and judgements largely from those whom cannot even relate to our duty..... And this is how it must be because the strongest sword must be forged within the greatest of fire. There simply is no other way. You, my brother, are not alone ..... all men must face this fire and heat. Sometimes, it's even comforting to embrace these struggles by having faith in ourselves ..... To lean into our battles, knowing that there simply is no other alternative if we wish to make a bold difference in others lives ..... those we love and care most about. I'm not a huge Bible thumper .... But I do recognize scripture as the collective of man's experiences which therefore contains great wisdom and lessons told as story. Right now, the Book of Job comes immediately to mind and I would suggest reading it not with the perceived message that is often told to explain its odd nature. But instead to read it with an open mind and heart ..... To read it in a way to discover what it's saying to YOU in your own life ..... Dissmiss what you have been told about it and discover your own take away ..... this may even take years to make connections, but wisdom never comes fast ..... its always a trickle that one day you stand back and look upon with a new perspective to discover its actually turned into a powerful river. I'll leave you with a few HST quotes that also examine these same topics from a differing perspective ... "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson "We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness. " - Hunter S. Thompson "A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance," - Hunter S. Thompson "So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?" -Hunter S. Thompson "The Edge... There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over" - Hunter S. Thompson "Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent" - Hunter S. Thompson "Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed" - Hunter S. Thompson "He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master" - Hunter S. Thompson

Joey Green bless your heart brother, gladly appreciate it. Yes Jobs story is a very interesting one, I remember hearing that story when I was a kid. I always think of that story when I go with what’s the worse that can happen next?! All I can do now is take one day at a time and to keep going.

JoseyWales thanks brother! Gladly appreciate it, yes that’s what I’m doing now currently to improve things. Regular exercise helps to and yes definitely a lot of sleep. Right now I’m just taking one day at a time but more importantly taking care of myself! And wow, that’s definitely some heavy work!... View More
