Welcome to Man Morning, a weekly hit of perspective, purpose, and power for the life you’re here to build.

You followed the playbook.

Got the degree. Found the job. Bought the house. Started the family.

Society said you won. So why does it feel like losing?

You checked all their boxes. But did you check any of yours?

I see this constantly in my power sessions. Men who did everything "right." Hit every milestone. And now they're asking: "Is this it?"

You feel guilty even questioning it. You're supposed to be grateful. You have what everyone wants.

But here's the brutal truth:

You got so good at following their script you forgot to write your own.

You lose touch with desire itself. What sounds good for dinner. What you want to watch. What you want to do on Saturday.

Your want-muscle atrophied. From years of wanting what you were supposed to want.

The education. The stable career. The "good" neighborhood. The sensible retirement plan.

All smart choices. All someone else's definition of winning.

And now you're wondering: What do I actually want? What would I choose if nobody was watching?

Here's what I know:

Your desires didn't vanish. They got buried under years of doing what made sense.

They're still there. Waiting for you to get brave enough to dig.

The question isn't whether you can find them. The question is whether you will.

Stop following their roadmap. Start drawing your own.
