A Man's Source of Discouragement

Discouragement is often set up by unmet expectations

1 - LEFTFIELD EXPECTATIONS
  • As men, we should have expectations and we should work toward goals
  • However, sometimes we get way ahead of ourselves and we set ourselves up for discouragement
2 - OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS
  • A lot of men live their lives for other people.
  • They are weighed down by expectations that are put on them, so they don't really have their own
3 - PERFECTION EXPECTATIONS
  • I have to be "perfect" is a lie that is taking away the ability of many men to really make a difference in the world 
  • It also causes them to not be able to have intimate relationships

About the Podcast

The Thriving Man Podcast
Helping Men Live a Life They can be Proud of!
Many guys get trapped in focusing on one area of their life at the expense of everything else. It could be their physical health, their career, a sport, or even a hobby. The problem is this: A Truly Successful Life isn't one-dimensional! That is why there are miserable millionaires. Who cares how much money you have if, for example, you have no one you can call a true friend?
There has to be a better approach than this.
The Thriving Man Podcast helps men grow in the 4 fundamentals of their life: Emotional, Mental, Physical, & Spiritual. We help men see that "Success is Inside Out and On the Way!"
