Extremism Attitudes Men Battle

As men, we tend to go to extremes in different areas of our lives. This can be a good thing when applied appropriately, but many of us struggle with different types of extremism in our everyday lives.

On today’s show, we discuss some of the common extremisms many guys struggle with. These are simple attitudes that can hurt us as we try to build a thriving life.

We also give a simple attitude adjustment near the end of the show to help you fight against extremism in your life.

If You Can’t Do Something Right, Don’t Do It at All!

Many men use this to justify not trying

This attitude can ignore the learning process

Go Big or Go Home!

This attitude is seen in the blaze of glory mentality

We focus on going big in every area of our lives

The problem is we often look at regular everyday life as not “enough”

We use this attitude to justify sacrificing the important areas of our lives to reach a “pinnacle” of success

You Have to Give Everything You’ve Got!

There are certain areas this attitude applies, but it can’t be in every area

Some men use this attitude to brag about the grind so they feel better about themselves

In the end, we often pick the wrong area to give everything we’ve got and ignore the important areas of our lives: Relationships, health, growth, financial wisdom

The Truth of Success is Found in the Small Daily Decisions

Momentum is what builds lasting success and we build momentum with small daily decisions

We want to build the daily habits of success that will give us a solid foundation for success

Once we build the habits, they become ingrained into our lives and a part of who we are as men

CHALLENGE:

What are your top habits that pour into your long-term success?

What habits are you building that you can carry on your journey?

Your legacy is how you lived your life, not the reputation that follows you after you die
