MALE DISCOVERY
Rick Cooper
The Education Athlete | Inspirational Leadership & Mental Performance Coach | Keynote Speaker
A lot of men are discovering themselves for the first time right now.
That's because you cant truly know yourself until your back is against the wall.
We live in a world of comfort, complacency and luxury.
We've lulled ourselves in to a false sense of security. We think we know how capable we are. We overestimate our ability and underestimate the threats we'll be confronted with.
But the day we face the test, all our biases are stripped away, and all that remains is the truth of who we are as a man.
In that day, most of us will find ourselves wanting, to some degree, which leaves us with only two choices:
ONE....Do nothing. Cower in the corner, retreat to some safer, less threatening place. Bury our head in the sand, hoping and praying that circumstances change or that some stronger, more capable man will rescue us. OR
TWO.....EVOLVE. GROW. LEARN. MAKE MISTAKES AND GO AGAIN. Make ourselves more capable, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and re-engage in the fucking fight of our lives with drive, passion, purpose and efficiency.
There is only one choice a man chooses to make.
Nearly all of us have at some point been kicked in the bollocks and booted in the teeth to some degree, or at the very least, been forced to confront who we really are, how we show up and what kind of man we are.
The next move gentlemen, is yours.
