The Power of Progress

“I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.” ― Abraham Lincoln

Action Over Perfection

• Action over perfection means you have an attitude of moving even if you aren't perfect
• Everyone has their things they struggle with
• We have to focus on ourselves as men
• We must shift our minds to adopt an attitude of progress
• The courage to show up even when we are getting kicked around is hard, but that is what we do as men!
• Stopping and quitting is us admitting defeat, as long as we are moving we are making progress.

Lifelong Learning

• Having an open mind and being willing to learn new things is a key part of making progress
• As we get older we have a tendency to settle on what we know
• There is always more growth that can happen
• Growth is what happens in our minds
• We should seek to stay curious
• Being a lifelong learner is a key to making progress at every stage of your life

Know Our Place

• We aren't the center of the universe
• It helps to put our mess-ups and failures in perspective
• We aren't the center of the universe but we DO MATTER
• Fatherlessness is an epidemic and it is destroying many lives
• This doesn't mean things will be easy or fair
• We should also learn to laugh at ourselves as men
