Am I the Only Man that Struggles with Spirituality?
As I’ve gotten older, and in the most humble way possible, I have achieved a great deal in my 50 years on the planet and I would suggest that if you took some time to reflect, you have accomplished way more than you give yourself credit for! Some of my most incredible personal accomplishments are being married for over 23 years! Having 3 incredible children! Completed an IRONMAN! Quit my 6 figure job in corporate america and Built a multi-million dollar business! And yet I continue to desire deeper connection with my purpose.
Over the last 6–8 years, I have spent a great deal of time getting to better understand ME! What makes me tick? What has been such a driving factor in my accomplishments? What are my strengths and weaknesses? And along this journey I’ve come to realize that so much of my constant drive was coming from a place of proving myself WORTHY! As a kid I spent a couple years getting bullied at school, and this lead to significantly LOW self esteem, and the constant need of approval and accolades, perhaps giving me the fire driving me to be successful? whatever that looked like for me…. and although my journey is far from over, I have come to a place where I really truly LOVE the Man that I look at in the mirror, which has certainly not always been the case! I love the fact that he was willing to do whatever it took to keep his marriage…
