☄️ Your Two Lives
“Most of us have two lives: the life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.”
🪩 The Man Morning Question
At the beginning of every in-person Man Morning meetup, a question is asked to open up the discussion.
This week’s question for you to consider:
How would you introduce yourself to a stranger if you couldn’t reference your profession or career? What would you tell them about yourself? What stories would you share?
Share your answer with your own Man Morning crew, with a trusted man in your life, or in your journal.
You can even respond to this email and share your answer.
🌕 The Unseen Hours
The secret to your success lies in the unseen hours.
It's those moments when nobody's watching, that magic happens.
The sprinter who wins the 100-meter dash at an Olympic stadium filled to capacity?
He spent years training and competing while no one was in the stands watching.
What about that man who left his full-time job to start a successful business?
He didn't do this by just working 9 to 5 like everyone else.
He put in the extra hours to build this business before everyone else was awake and late into the night while others were sound asleep.
And that neighbor who now owns multiple real estate properties?
He didn't just wake up one day with a pocket full of cash.
He worked two jobs for years to save enough money for the down payment on his first property.
It's what you do in those moments when no one is watching that will determine your success or failure in life.
No one sees when you:
Get up at 4:45 AM to workout
Make healthy choices on your business trip
Put in extra preparation for that work presentation
Stay up late assembling a birthday gift for your kid
Write your wife a handwritten love note
No one may be watching, but that doesn’t make it any less important.
In fact, magic is happening during those unseen hours.
It's rarely glamorous to do the work, but it's always worth it.
So don't wait for an audience.
Don't wait for applause.
Just get to work.
Use the unseen hours to your advantage.
