They say that a lot has changed for the average man over the last 18 months…
I’d disagree…
See if the rumblings I’ve seen online are to be believed, most men now, and on a daily basis still operate like the following…
He wakes up at the same time…
He brushes his teeth in the same way…
He puts on the same clothes…
He eats the same breakfast…
He takes a shit at the same time, while reading the same websites…
He starts work at the same time…
He checks the same thing first…
He eats the same lunch…
He continues to deal with the same shit…
He finishes (late) at the same time…
He makes the same excuse when he gets home…
He eats dinner in the same place while drinking the same drink…
He puts the kids to bed in the same order…
He puts his feet up on the same couch…
He makes the same excuse about why he’s checking work on his phone…
He watches the same show on TV…
He goes to bed at the same time…
He wakes up and does the same thing again tomorrow…
The point being, that even in a tornado of shit most men fail to avoid the gravitational pull of forming habits, routines and behaviours.
Daily rituals that become a hardwired code of conduct – requiring zero thinking and zero processing.
… Or in other words, executing aimless actions based on sameness, not INTENTION.
Now… I don’t know about you, but in my experience, sameness causes comfort and comfort is a crippling curse for any man of action.
Which begs the question this week…
Is it time to look at how you are carrying out your orders?
It is time to reconsider your current chain of command?
Is it time to reset, rise up, and start operating from a place of deliberate and intentional decisions?
Because if history has taught me anything, that the spoils will always go to those men who choose to spot the rot and have the iron discipline to take conscious control of their actions, activities and behaviours – instead of just running on autopilot.
Make More. Provide More. Be More.
