Does it matter what we think? As long as others don't know our thoughts are we really hurting anyone? We are! As men, our minds are key to our success in life. Our thoughts lead to actions in one form or another. Our thoughts affect us first and foremost. We must do the work to develop a strong core mindset. If don't do the work to build a strong core mindset there are areas of our life that will forever be untapped.

What is a Core Mindset

  • Our core mindset is the foundation of our thoughts
  • We all think and how we think is our core mindset
  • The push for sameness today has robbed many men of their ability to think
  • We have to protect and work on our mindset
  • Our core mindset is the key to our life
  • As men, we must take back our core mindset
  • Men who are confident in what they think and willing to explore and engage their full potential as men

The Default Core Mindset

  • As men, our brains have a default core mindset
  • It is a mindset that we have to battle and fight if we want to be men who make a positive difference in the world
  • Here are some of the most common defaults in our minds that we have dealt with for centuries
  • Selfishness
  • Appetites
  • Control
  • Just as men have done for centuries, we must battle to develop a better core mindset
  • The men who do this are the men who reach the full limits of their potential

The Better Core Mindset

  • We have to recognize our messed-up core mindset if we are going to fix it
  • This doesn't mean we beat ourselves up, but we try to objectively look at our actions and our thoughts
  • Better Core Mindset Principle Characteristics
  • Above us
