A toast to men!

Cheers to all men who are out in the world making a difference!

Here I am raising a glass, passing along a 2-min toast, to ALL men who are out in the world making a difference..

(i.e., you’re making a positive impact on others… first and foremost through your ever-evolving, consciously-improving Self)

Or, in the final analysis of the protagonist in the book, The Greatest Networker In The World, you’re a man accomplishing “accomplishment” DAILY.

You rarely get acknowledged for that — for a) learning, growing & developing b) getting results / bettering things c) having fun while doing it.

So, via The Angry Therapist, HERE YOU GO…

Yes, I do ab-so-lute-ly wish I would have written those points all myself (be sure to read them all here before continuing…)

But, alas, it is from John Kim, LMFT (AKA The Angry Therapist), the co-founder of shft.us.

Nevertheless, his message stands true, and through, me ‘as if’ it came from my own heart, soul, and character.

Pass it along as desired. You’re worth it!

<< QUICK PERSONAL NOTE / REMINDER >>

Without reservation, I have had my own demons with many of the attributes that John lists above.

But, the key I have found is to ensure you’re continually-connected to support that fosters accountability and keeps you in the game (what Life truly is) — no matter how hard the challenges, no matter how deep the mistakes.

Acknowledgment, encouragement, and having a full-spectrum view around your beliefs and behaviors will ensure you can REfine (as needed) instead of allowing them to DEfine you.

Or, in the words of Chris McCombs:

“Those with the deepest wounds, who’ve walked the hardest roads, and then, against all odds, turned it around and now channel their pain, fear, and anger into something positive — like art, writing, music, lifting, business, helping others — are my favorite brand of peeps. We are all fucked up, some of us more than others, but it’s what we do with that insanity that matters.”
