Welcome to Man Morning, a weekly newsletter where I provide hard truths about what actually works. No fluff, no theory, no nonsense.

I wrote Stop Living on Autopilot.

But post-fire, I saw the truth:

I had been on cruise control for a while.

What Fire Taught Me

Even with living a "safe" life, my worst fears still came true.

I lost everything.

Now my fear of losing everything has evaporated.

It happened.

I lost it all.

And I'm still here.

The Shift

This led me to thinking:

What if I lived like God sent me here?

Not playing God.

Just acknowledging how rare it is to exist.

To be here at all.

How would I approach each day?

The Old Story

"Life's a slog."

"Case of the Mondays."

"Just trying to make it."

"Life's hard, then you die."

The Truth

Life does get hard.

Brutally hard sometimes.

But that's not the whole story.

What If

What if you're here on purpose?

Here by design?

Here for something extraordinary?

The New Story

"I was sent here for this."

"Life is a gift, not a grind."

"I can handle it."

"I'm here to make things better."

What Changes

Complaining gets harder.

Excuses feel empty.

Energy shifts.

Purpose finds you.

Your Move

You can treat life like a burden.

Or remember how rare it is to be here.

Live like God sent you here.

See what you're capable of.

Use it.

Use it all.
