The Soft Soil Principle
Why Being Uncomfortable Leads to Better Outcomes

Welcome to Man Morning, a weekly newsletter where I provide hard truths about what actually works. No fluff, no theory, no nonsense.
I used to think success meant finding firm ground.
The safe route.
The known path.
Where every step was certain.
What Experience Taught Me
Great stories never start with:
"Everything went exactly as planned..."
Instead, they begin with:
"That's when all our plans went out the window."
The Truth About Growth
It lives where you're uncomfortable.
Where your feet sink a little.
Where the map ends.
Where certainty fades.
What Waits There
New strength.
Hidden doors.
Better versions of yourself.
Things you can't see from the traditional path.
The Reality
It isn't faith if you can see it.
It isn't growth if it's comfortable.
It isn't discovery if you know the way.
Your Move
Very few choose the soft soil.
That's exactly why you should.
The path less taken isn't just poetic.
It's where life actually happens.
A Note of Gratitude
After sharing about losing our home in the wildfires, many asked how they could help. While we haven't been seeking support, I want to acknowledge a brand that stepped up without being asked.
Birch provided my family with one of their natural mattresses. In a time when good sleep felt impossible, this gift meant more than they know.
If you're in the market for a new mattress, they're worth checking out. Premium design, organic materials, and zero fiberglass. More importantly, they're a company that understands what matters.
