102 - Stop Waiting and Start Living
Growing up I wanted so badly for my father to say I believe in you, you can do it or you've got this. Anything positive would have been fantastic. I kept waiting even into my 20s and 30s. I finally realized he wasn't in a place to be able to offer those words or that encouragement. It was something I needed to release for myself - to start taking action and begin living my life.
My friend, many of us are waiting, hoping for that tap on the shoulder by an older man, to call us into our manhood, recognize us as being a worthy man and direct us into a life of fulfillment. Stop waiting and start living - give yourself the permission to be the man you've desired to be for so long. Now is your time!

And so lots of us will wander around going, okay, great. You know, Uh, I don't feel like I've passed, you know, any kind of age of manhood I've gone. And, um, I've gone through 18.
I've gone through 21. I've gone through 25 and now I'm a husband and a dad, and I'm still not feeling whether I'm actually a man. It's not an age thing. Okay. It is something that we internally allow ourselves to feel and move through. And you have that. If you will allow yourself, I was waiting for somebody.

If you're up to start walking, if you're walking, start running, move yourself from where you're at forward, because I know you can do it. I believe in you.

You just have to say, I can go there and start moving. You may not know the whole path. You may not fully have faith that you can, but unless you start moving, it's not going to happen.
etimes we have to search for [:Okay. So I would, I would encourage you stop with. Start living because the longer we wait, the more that that becomes comfortable and the act of moving becomes more challenging. It's just like going to the gym.

And let's get those hurdles out of the way, because. The imaginary roadblocks that we create, that we put in our own way are the things that are keeping us there. And it's much like the elephant that's been trained over time to be kept by a rope, to a steak when they have more strength and could just break free.
so literally a rope keeps an [:So I look forward to talking with you soon. Have a great one. My friend, bye.
