“If I knew then, what I know now, I would have done things differently.” -Dr Edith Eger

Seize this second chance. Don’t waste it on guilt because guilt is, as Dr. Eger said, about the past–and the past is one thing we cannot change.

A REPOST that captures some of my thoughts. There is nothing wrong with masculinity! The problem comes when it gets put above or against femininity. They are complementary.

—————————
Raising boys in today’s world is not a small task.

The world is quick to emasculate boys and point out what is wrong with being “masculine.”

Sending very confusing messages to young boys.

But I’m teaching my three boys to grow up to be honorable young men who know what they stand for.

As their father, I expect them to learn the following:

🔹be confident in who they are
🔹set ambitious goals
🔹be a gentleman to women and girls
🔹be physically strong
🔹protect and defend others
🔹serve unselfishly
🔹take initiative as leaders
🔹speak up and stand up for their beliefs
🔹be loyal and faithful
🔹include those who are excluded
🔹excel in school and sports
🔹play an instrument
🔹learn a second language fluently
🔹be financially literate
🔹not be ashamed of faith in God
🔹embrace their masculinity
🔹win and lose with dignity
🔹keep their promises and commitments
🔹dress professionally
🔹speak without cussing & degrading language
🔹use tools, build a campfire
🔹communicate and express emotions
🔹not bury their emotions
🔹apologize and be accountable
🔹start a business and earn their own $
🔹volunteer to help others in need
🔹be proud of who they are

I obviously love my two daughters just as much as my three boys, and most of this list could also apply to my girls… but this post is about my boys.

I just feel a unique obligation as their dad to raise my 3 boys to be great men in a world that is telling them to hide their masculinity.

The world needs more involved and engaged fathers.

I pledge to dedicate more time this year to raising these honorable young men.

Better to build them as boys than try to mend them as men.

Getting started in January on a physical fitness goal is great! Yet... how many of us start strong and then struggle to keep it up, or just plain quit?

This month's Monthly Wellness Workshop is focused on your physical health! It's just the nudge you've needed to get back on track with what you'd hoped to achieve this year.

Dr Steven Roushar, owner and founder of Flow Chiropractic in Lehi, will join us to discuss wholistic health. He specializes in family care and prenatal care at his practice. We'll talk about how physical, emotional, and psychological health are linked, and how physical improvements can significantly impact our emotional wellbeing.

Great timing in preparation for Spring and Summer activities!
Grab your neighbors, family, and friends to attend this important discussion.

Comment below for specific questions you'd like addressed.
Share with your friends in the local Utah county area.

See you there!

Since this term Quiet Quitters came out, I've wondered how did we get to a place where people try so little that they think it's ok to skate by. Now, I know it is a systemic problem, and there is plenty of 'blame' to go around to leadership and to the employee, blah, blah, blah. 🙄 It's just not how I was raised. Act, dress, be curious, stretch to, etc the position you want to get someday. It may not be very fulfilling right now (bagging groceries isn't very glamorous and didn't get me to where I am now), but what can you learn from where you are right now (how to treat people, to communicate, to serve)?

What can you do today and tomorrow and next week that will create an environment that you DO feel some fulfillment (this is good for leadership and 'just' employees). Take pride in whatever you do! Do your best in every position you hold! And if you feel the need to quiet quit and just coast, get off your ass and create or find a position that you want. You stop moving forward and growing when you coast. Strength/growth comes with striving/struggle/overcoming. That's something everyone can do no matter their 'position'.

Comment below on 'What does that mean for where you are?'

(yesterday's Darren Daily set today's up very well; listen to that too if you can, there's generally a link on the same page when you visit this one)

We are again hosting an educational workshop for the surrounding communities (Lehi, American Fork, Saratoga Springs, South Jordan, Pleasant Grove, etc).
February is often focused on Valentines Day (or single awareness day as my girls like to call it😄), and none of that can be very good if you don't first love yourself.
Join us on the 25th for a discussion on Loving Yourself without Feeling Selfish.
