"I USED TO HAVE A FUTURE I WAS EXCITED ABOUT."
That sentence lands differently depending on where you are right now.
For some of you it stings a little. For others it hits hard. And for a few of you, it's the most honest thing you've read in a while.
Here's what I've noticed after two decades of working with men:
The ones who come to me aren't broken. They're stuck.
There's a difference.
Broken men have given up. Stuck men still feel the gap between where they are and where they know they could be. That gap is actually a good sign. It means something in you still cares and is putting up a gallant fight.
But "stuck" still needs to be diagnosed correctly. Because the wrong prescription makes it worse, not better.
For example, a man who needs a new perspective doesn't need to blow up his life. A man whose foundation needs to be rebuilt can't just reframe his way out of it. And a man who's lost his direction needs to find it again, not invent a new identity from scratch.
Getting this wrong costs time. And time is the one thing none of us can get back.
Earlier this morning I sent you a link to The Reality Inventory. It's a ten-question assessment that tells you exactly where you are on the continuum of change.
If you took it, you already know your zone. If you didn't, here it is again:
The Reality Inventory: Where Are You Right Now?
"I used to have momentum."
"I used to matter, and now I feel invisible."
"I used to have a future I was excited about."
"Somewhere along the way I got stuck."
If any part of that is true for you right now, whether it's a little or a lot, this assessment will tell you something useful. Not something vague. Not something generic. Something specific to where you actually are.
Ten questions. Honest answers. A clear picture of where you are, and what to do about it. It takes two or three minutes, and your results are right there when you finish. No opt-in, no paywall, no B.S.
The men who move forward are the ones who get honest about where they're starting from.
