For our Men’s Work @sunrisejourneys, I’m working with men who are ready to work and grow. I’m not going to try and convince someone that he should want a life he loves. No. I focus my energy and attention on the men who know they want to grow; who want a rich, beautiful life; who want to create new patterns that set themselves up for success; who want to meet and befriend their true self; who want love and relationships, health and wellness, and fulfillment and purpose, and are ready to do the work required to build the skills, awareness, and capacity that enables them to hold and balance it all.
So, how do you know if this is you? Well, the first tip is that you find yourself here, reading this post. No, really. It says something that this has drawn your attention. And, if you’ve read any of my previous posts, you can double or triple that.
If you find yourself complaining about all the things that others get wrong, but you don’t spend much energy on what you can change about yourself or a situation; well, you may just enjoy the safety and familiarity of discontent. If this is you, you’re probably not a good fit for Men’s Work.
If, on the other hand, you’ve earnestly wanted to create change, but feel stuck or scared about what to do or how to do it—you could be a good fit.
If you want to focus on just one small aspect of your life and aren’t willing to look at how the full 360° of how you show up in the world plays such an important role, you probably aren’t a good fit. For example, if you are seeking to change careers because you want more power and prestige, but you aren’t interested in exploring and defining your values and purpose—we probably won’t work together.
On the other hand, if you’re open to exploring the often subtle connections and interrelationships that we often don’t and maybe can’t see on our own—Men’s Work would likely be a good fit.
If you want change to be quick, easy, comfortable, and effortless, then you don’t yet understand what real change means. And that’s okay. But, if you’re not open to new ideas and feeling uncomfortable and awkward as you learn new things—you won’t get far in Men’s Work, and I will let you know that.
Because real change takes work. It means stretching past your comfort zone into new areas to learn and sharpen new skills, and to build your competence and grow your confidence. You can’t expand your capacities and protect your ego at the same time.
There is a Kahlil Gibran quote that states, “Work is love made visible.” This is the work we do in Men’s Work. Work anchored in love. For ourselves and others, and the world around us.If this resonates with you and you feel this in your soul; if you deeply desire to work and grow, and claim your rich, beautiful life; then, please sign up for your Strategy Session, and let’s talk about how Men’s Work can work for you!
