🗓️ THE QUESTION EVERY MAN MUST ASK HIMSELF

The best is ahead.

Something changes in your life when you believe, and work, like this is a fact.

As St. Augustine said:

“Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.”

To ensure the best is ahead, and to make sure you're living with purpose instead of on autopilot, ask yourself one simple question:

Based on the last 30 days, am I on track for the life I want?

The last 30 days provide great insight of where you are, or not, headed.

💡 For instance, based on your last 30 days at work, if your boss had to decide to rehire you, would they?

💡 If you’re married, based on how you showed up the last 30 days in the relationship would your partner immediately recommit to you?

💡 For fathers, based on the last 30 days would your kids still be fired up to call you Dad?

The easy answer to all these questions is “Absolutely.” My company, wife, and kids would still want me.

And you might acknowledge you haven’t consistently been putting your best foot forward.

There are some things you might have taken for granted.

You might even conclude that you haven’t been as present as you would have liked to be.

If nothing changes moving forward, this could lead to losing your job, a relationship coming to an end, or serving as a poor role model for a child you love.

If you don’t like your answers to 30 days question, that’s ok.

Don’t beat yourself up.

The answers are just data you can act on.

However, your next 30 days are of the utmost importance to ensure the best is ahead.

You have a chance to make the next 30 days better.

Not perfect, but better.

So how do you do it?

You do it by focusing on:

✔️ Your daily top 5

✔️And by connecting with men who make you better

The “last 30 days” question holds a mirror up to the things that are easy to sweep under the rug.

It’s time to pull the rug up and see what’s underneath it.

Only then can you see where you are and the work you must do.

Today is day one of your next 30.
