This is the Admired Show.
All right, welcome back to the show everybody.
So today's show is very, very personal for me and very important to me as a man.
And so I'm going to talk to you today from a male's perspective about the men in your
life and some of the concerns I have that I just sense so often through a lot of the
messages I receive from men online,
on my Instagram, through this podcast, so many men are tired right now.
And I mean that from not so much as physical, but mentally and emotionally and spiritually.
So I'd like you to listen to this closely today if you have a brother or a son or a father,
maybe a significant other and a husband in your life, a boyfriend. Just like you to pay attention to the things I'm going to cover about whether or
not your man is very tired and maybe even breaking a little.
Now, having said that, I'm covering it today as a man because I am one.
But as I go through these things, this is just as easily apply to anybody,
man or woman. And so many people are tired and down in our culture today and I
think we need to keep an eye on one another but since I'm a guy I'm gonna
talk about it from this perspective today because I understand this one
pretty well but I know full well as I've said that many of you ladies
listening to this says we'll say same here this includes me as well and so
keep an eye on your sisters also but these are signs that maybe your man is tired
or maybe even breaking a little bit.
And like I said, it may not be physical.
It may be more mental or emotional,
but I'm gonna describe him a little bit.
I'm gonna speak for him.
And by the way, I'm also very,
I hear all this alpha male content that's on the internet
about do this and this, and a man's gotta step up.
And for the record, I believe in that very wholeheartedly.
I consider myself if there's such a thing, I don't know that I love the term alpha male,
but I think most people that know me would say I'm an alpha of alphas almost in the sense that
I coach a lot of strong male figures and they look to me for strength and confidence as well.
Having said all of that, I think some of that can be overcooked and some of that stuff makes men not be vulnerable or authentic with their real feelings
of what they're going through because they believe it's a sign of weakness.
And so I want to break some of those barriers down today.
I believe you can be a strong man
or a strong woman.
At the same time, be vulnerable
and be willing to reveal fears and insecurities and things
that are bothering you.
And so let's just look at some of the signs and maybe I'll describe for you some of the
things that maybe your man is going through in his life.
And again, of course this applies to everybody.
So again, it may not be physical, it could be mental and emotional fatigue, but let me
tell you, he's tired of working so hard and having other people let him down.
Things not working out, not catching a break here or there. And he's not going
to probably tell you about this because a man thinks if he reveals things like
this that he's tired or hurting that it's a sign of weakness and nobody wants
a weak man most men think. And so we're constantly putting on the face the mask of strength.
And we don't want to reveal to you that we're hurting a little bit because we don't want to scare you.
We don't want you to think we're not strong, we're not an alpha, we're not stepping up.
And you know, in his case, he may or may not want to die or anything like that.
Maybe he does.
But although sometimes he thinks a little bit about what it might be like not to have this huge burden on his back.
The feeling of being average and ordinary or invisible.
Maybe it feels like he's just letting so many people down in his family
because he hasn't won yet.
And oftentimes in many men's lives, their favorite time of day is when they actually
go to sleep because they get a chance to just hide.
They get a chance to escape.
And the irony is that even though he looks forward to sleeping so much, he doesn't sleep
very deeply or very well because so much is on his mind.
He may or may not be depressed, but I can tell you this, he feels sad often.
He feels alone often. He feels alone often.
He feels isolated often.
Let me just stop right there and say,
if any of you men are feeling that way,
or any of you women are feeling that way,
it's okay to feel those things, and there's a way out.
And we're gonna talk about that towards the end.
Oftentimes, maybe he feels like he's done
so much for other people, and then when he needed them,
they let him down. That he believed in other people and gave to other people and when
the chips were down and he needed that reciprocated they weren't there for him.
That he's learned in life that a lot of these buddies of his that he went
drinking with or went to a ballgame with or even grew up with, they weren't really
his friends. They were there to use him. They were there for a
stage in his life.
And for him, loyalty matters. For him, dedication matters. From him, being there for a friend
matters. And he just always assumed that that would be reciprocated. And it hasn't been
reciprocated. And so he's been let down. He's been hurt. And again, as I say this, I know
so many of you ladies are going, hello. I know exactly what that's like. And I know so many of you ladies are going hello I know exactly what that's like and I know that you do and men if you have a woman in your life a
daughter a sister a
Mother
She may also be feeling these things a spouse a girlfriend that her friends have let her down and she feels alone
She feels isolated. She feels hurt
She feels a lack of connection in deep relationships,
perhaps she feels invisible. And oftentimes I can tell you this man that
I know very well, he feels invisible and he thinks about and often hides things
because he tries to escape and one of his escapes can be alcohol, it could be
gambling, it could be drugs, it could be drugs, it could be pornography.
It could be hiding in the lives of other people like his favorite sports team. It's one of the
most insidious places men hide in our culture today is they hide in professional or college
sports teams and they live their lives through these people that are actually living their lives
on the field and they're just a fan in the stands
and the only way they gather any acknowledgement in their life is when a bunch of strangers on a field with other names on their back win or lose and that somehow we won and because their own
lives have become so impossible to deal with, so sad, so frustrating, so empty that they've attached themselves and latched themselves on to a bunch of strangers.
Who, by the way, switch teams every three or four years anyways, they don't even play for their team much.
And again, I understand there's a beautiful thing about being a sports fan. I'm a huge sports fan.
I'm a huge sports fan. I'm a huge sports fan
I loved I love all my Boston sports teams when they win
I certainly feel great when they lose I don't but there's everything in life is moderation. I
Don't live my life through them. I don't feel a sense of achievement when they win a game. I
Don't I feel a sense of happiness and joy
But I'm not hiding in those lives.
I'm very much focused on my own. But oftentimes a way to escape is alcohol.
And by the way, alcohol in moderation for many people is fine.
Even if you want to gamble once in a while in moderation for some people, that's fine, right?
Being a sports fan is great in moderation, but when it becomes your
sole source of acknowledgement, your sole source of joy, your sole source of
escape, you're just hiding in your own lives.

And so the problem for him is not that he's feeling a whole lot of anything right now.
He feels a bit empty.
He feels a bit alone.
And maybe right now he's feeling a little bit lost.
He overthinks things.
He does not believe in himself like he used to.
And now that's starting to impact his effort. He's tried and tried and tried and he believed in himself and he worked on himself, but it just hasn't worked.
It's not that he's lazy. He's just lost. It's not that she's lazy. She's lost.
And so over time, because of all of this discouragement that I've talked about in other videos, the 4 D's, the D's of doubt, discouragement, delusion and delay.
He's just a little bit lost and it looks like laziness, but he just doesn't believe in himself
truly like he used to.
And yes, he's got such a big heart.
And frankly, the truth is his heart's been broken too many times.
Broken because he's tried something that didn't work out.
Broken because a friend let him down.
Broken because a relationship didn't work out.
Broken because one of his dreams didn't come true.
And so how do we help this man that's going through this?
How do we help this woman, this brother or sister of ours
that's going through this?
What are the things we can do?
Because they're not gonna tell you about it.
And the longer he goes in silence and doesn't express these feelings,
the deeper it will get and the scarier it can get.
And I can just tell you all so much as a man that yeah, this alpha stuff is awesome.
And I do believe in those things very deeply.
All you have to do is watch my content.
But I also know there's another side of things where vulnerability is almost shamed in men. It's shamed in everybody in our culture.
It's weakness. It's you're not focused. You're not on your game. You're not doing
your cold plunge. You're not in your morning routine. I got all that. And then
there's times in life where you've done all those things and it hasn't paid off.
And then you did it again and it didn't pay off. And then a friend let you down
and it didn't pay off. And then you did it again and it didn't pay off. And then a friend let you down and it didn't pay off.
And then a relationship didn't work out
or a business didn't happen.
And you find yourself in life
just where you never expected to be by this time.
You thought by this time, had you worked that hard,
things would have been better.
You just always thought it would be better.
And you've tried and tried and tried.
And there's a lot of despair in men in our culture in people in our culture and I fear that that despair is growing and I fear that that despair is moving into
depression and is that depression potentially deepens the terrible things
can happen that a someone may hurt themselves or hurt someone else by acting out of that pain.
Hurt people hurt people.
And I worry about so much hurt in the world.
When I see people on social media doing harm to one another, I know what it is.
They're hurting themselves. Internally they're hurting themselves. And so they want to lash out and make a comment or lash out and do something to somebody.
And somehow I can just make them feel some of the pain, some of the lack, some of the scarcity,
some of the insecurity I feel about myself. I might feel a little bit better about me.
It's not who they really are. Most humans are good. Most humans are precious.
Most humans are just acting out of something
to feel some sort of sense of self,
to feel some sort of importance.
And if they can't achieve something,
if they can't contribute something,
if they've been let down repeatedly,
then maybe if I just tear some stuff down,
I'll feel better.
If I can't get significance through my achievements,
I'll get significance through doing harm.
You see some of these precious children that end up doing harm in these schools,
and oftentimes I really believe it's their way of just finding, feeling significant, feeling important.
Oh, you don't notice me? Well, you'll notice me now.
And so, how do we help this man? I'm describing and so many men that are listening to this right now
I guarantee you are very connected to what I'm saying
So many of the ladies listening to this can see it in their man or see it in themselves or see it in their girlfriend
See it in their sister. So how do we help them? It's just not good enough that you let them know that you love them.
I'm going to tell you what I believe part of the formula is.
You can't just love them. You've got to let them know that you believe in them.
There's a huge difference between loving somebody and believing in them.
And you've got to tell them that you believe in them over and over and over again.
Because they know you love them. It's not that you don't love them.
It's that they don't believe in themselves enough. They need to, you can't pour from
an empty cup. And here's the good news, truth vibrates at the highest frequency. So if you
truly do believe in this man, tell him over and over, sit him down and say, not only do
I love you, I know I tell you I love you all the time, but I need to tell you I believe
in you. I believe in you.
And as a friend, as a brother, if you're listening to this, if you don't have someone,
I believe in you brother. I believe in you sister. I believe you were born to do something great.
I believe it's not too late. And I also believe this person still wants to be challenged.
So if you have this person in your life, let them know you believe in them, not just love
them.
Poor belief.
You can't transfer to me that which you really aren't experiencing.
So you've got to pour it into them.
But when you tell someone the truth about themselves, that you believe in them, it vibrates
at a high frequency and you supercharge them.
It's more powerful than you know.
And it might take more than once.
It might take five times, 10 times, 20 times, but every human is worth pouring into.
If you have a child that's going the wrong way, love on him, love on him, but you've got to let him know I believe in you.
What happens when people make mistakes is they believe, they think you don't believe in them anymore.
If you've got a child who's gone sideways or a friend who's gone sideways or a boyfriend
or a girlfriend or a husband or wife who's just, they haven't won yet, they know you
love them, but they don't think you believe in them anymore.
And that's what's killing them.
Nobody believes in me.
I don't believe in me.
And so the belief aspect is totally different than love.
And I think as a parent, oftentimes I love you, but you've shamed a mistake.
You've shamed them so many times.
You've punished them so many times.
Listen, discipline is important.
In the Bible, Jesus rebuked the apostles
when they would make a mistake.
That's what it means to disciple.
It's okay to discipline.
But discipline and shaming,
discipline and disappointment is different. The worst thing to hear, you know this, when you were a kid, was not when your parents were mad at you.
It's when they were disappointed in you.
Right? If someone thinks you're disappointed in them, they're not going to get up.
So if you have a child who thinks you're disappointed in them, they're toast.
If you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend who thinks you're disappointed in them, they can't get up if they're already down
Your love doesn't get them up your belief does
And if you love me and you're disappointed in me, I'm staying down
So I want you to believe in them number one number two
I want you to get them to accept a challenge from you
I believe in you I believe in you and I want to challenge you to do XYZ
You got to challenge him to do something.
Let me tell you something.
All people want to be challenged as long as they feel your belief.
And what maybe this person's suffering from right now is the lack of a new challenge.
Right? Because you got a first poor belief that step one, I believe in you,
and it may take multiple times.
And once you've dosed him with enough of that, then you challenge him.
Honey, I want to challenge you to do this. Honey, I want to of that then you challenge him. Honey I want to challenge you to do this. Honey I
want to challenge you to do that. Son I want to challenge you to do this. Brother,
friend I want to challenge you to do this. Get them to accept a challenge,
right? And then hold them accountable in that challenge. And what he needs is he
needs to begin to get some small wins to create momentum in the other direction.
What's happening is he's going downhill and he's stacking these dark thoughts and
he just wants to go to sleep and then when he sleeps he's he's still tired
when he wakes up. His favorite time of day is when he goes to sleep. His
favorite time of day needs to be when he wakes up. That he wakes up with someone
who believes in him. He wakes up with a challenge to go get something. He wants to chase.
He wants to hunt.
He wants to win.
He's designed to hunt, to be challenged, to achieve, to win.
But he only does that on the winds of belief.
And what he needs is just some small wins.
Small wins are how you get it going.
Small wins.
Hey, get up at a particular time. A particular routine, a particular amount of contacts, a particular amount of reps in the gym,
a particular amount of hydration, a particular amount of contacts in a given day.
Small wins. Small wins beget big wins.
Hey guys, so I'm hearing from so many of you right now about how tight money can be.
You know, you end up filling up your gas tank, you go to the grocery store, everything after
that.
For some of you, it's your swipe on the credit card just to pay for things.
I got a message the other day from a lady on social media who said to me, she goes,
I end up having more month than I have money.
And so I know some of you can really relate to that.
Now the good news is interest rates have dropped into the fives again for the most part, which
is a lot lower than credit cards.
And so if you're swiping that credit card, I think maybe American
financing can give you some help right now.
They've saved about $854 a month or about 10 grand per customer.
They've been saving on average right now.

The, the reason we spiral the other way is we get momentum going downhill and
it's very easy to get downhill momentum in our lives.
And then we just feel like we can't stop tumbling.
I can't stop. No one will help me. This person let me down. I don't believe in myself lives. And then we just feel like we can't stop tumbling. I can't stop. No
one will help me. This person let me down. I don't believe in myself anymore.
She doesn't believe in me anymore. And it's this dark path. So we've got to
reverse it. And the way we stop the downward path is belief. Not just love,
belief. And then we reverse it as we challenge them to take a step up the
mountain again. And when they get one step we challenge them to take a step up the mountain again.
And when they get one step and they get another, they get small tiny little steps,
they begin to build momentum in the other direction. And so that's a big step. And then
maybe he needs to try to connect again with his faith on a deeper level. Challenge him to connect
if he has faith to connect in his scriptures at a deeper level, to connect that way so that he's got this belief, he's got this challenge. Now he's got
some small wins. He's connecting to his faith, which is the true belief of all belief, right?
If he's got faith in his life. Maybe that challenge if he doesn't have any is to challenge him to
explore that part of his life. The great comfort in life is to know that you are never alone.
The Bible tells us,
He will never leave you nor forsake you,
that you are never alone.
Maybe he's got to connect a little bit deeper
with whatever his faith is, whatever that practice is,
whatever the one is that means the most to him.
If he can reconnect with that,
it can create truth to him that vibrates at a high frequency.
The ultimate truth is what we believe
about whatever our faith is.
And when we reconnect with that faith,
we are now vibrating at the highest possible frequency again.
It's the greatest form of belief.
Belief from a loved one is huge,
but belief in where we're going and what we were made for
is a whole other level.
And then you know what?
He needs permission to start over.
And if you're listening to this, my brother or my sister,
I'm giving you permission right now to start over.
I can tell you right now, it's not too late.
There's a way out.
There's always a way out.
There's always a way out.
It's never too late.
You can turn this around.
No matter what you've done, it's okay. You can fix this. You can turn it around. I promise you.
And maybe the next part of it is, he needs to give up his addiction to being a part of the crowd.
Too many of you men that are listening to this, you want to be a part of the crowd. You want to
be one of the guys. You want to be just like everybody else. Here's the truth, you weren't
born to be like everybody else. You weren't born to be one of the guys you want to be just like everybody else Here's the truth. You weren't born to be like everybody else. You weren't born to be one of the guys
You're not supposed to be like everybody else
You're supposed to be an individual when a man is in a group of guys all the time. He loses his individuality
He loses his ability to express his uniqueness and his greatness in the crowd
That's why even in every single team sport,
they play individual positions.
So it's great to have a group around you,
of course, that supports you,
that are your boys or your girls or your tribe,
but don't hide in the tribe.
Don't hide in the crowd.
Don't hide in the pack.
Still be an individual.
Let me be very clear.
One of the most important things
that you can build around you
is a tribe of people who support you
Who believe in you right who challenge you who love you?
But oftentimes people take those two in extreme and they begin to hide in the pack hide in the crowd hide in the tribe
Hide as one of the boys hide as one of the girls
And you lose your individuality when you do that. And over time, if you just stay in the tribe,
if you just stay in the pack,
that is one of the keys that begins
the downward spiral in life.
Play your individual position, play your individual game,
supported by the team around you, supported by the tribe.
You've gotta feel good when someone else scores
that touchdown that you threw the block, right?
That you threw the block, that if it's baseball that you do your part,
whatever it is in life, that if you're in a company that you want the company to
win but don't hide in the company, do your part, be great at what you do.
So give up your addiction to being a part of the crowd, one of the guys, just
like everybody else, and begin to express this new version of
yourself and become addicted to your expansion.
I want you to get addicted again to expanding.
The good thing about being in a small place, if it's not good, is it's very easy to expand
from there.
At the highest levels, expansion is more difficult.
So one of the advantages of being down on our luck or not playing well in our life is
we can expand more easily.
Become addicted.
I always say I'm addicted to the expansion of my being.
And so become addicted to that,
not being a part of the crowd.
Maybe you need to begin to tell yourself again,
a new story about who you're becoming
and stop telling the story about who you were
or what's happened to you or what the past is.
These stories we tell ourselves are very powerful.
We keep telling a story about this guy let me down, I tried this, I used to be that. And what you're
doing when you're telling the story is you're actually comparing where you are
now to that former story and it doesn't feel good and it reinforces how bad
things are now. Stop making the excuses, stop telling the story. Enough of all
that, enough of all of it. Tell a new story. There's power in just telling a
new story. Yeah that's in just telling a new story.
Yeah, that's what happened, but here's where I'm going.
This is what I'm focused on.
This is my challenge.
These are the small wins I'm getting.
See, if you're honest about where you are, there's you men express it to somebody.
Tell them I'm hurting.
I'm down.
I need some help express it.
Right.
It's okay to do that.
It's not weakness.
It's strength.
Weakness is pretending
to be living away that you're not. If you're hurting, express it. Tell them they love you,
they believe in you, and then create a new story. You cannot create a new story if you're
not totally honest about the one you're in now. But once you're honest, I'm hurting,
I'm down, I don't feel good about myself. Right? Now from that place of honesty and vulnerability and authenticity, you can
build a new powerful story and create a new one anytime you want. Do you know that
anytime you want, you can literally write a new chapter of the book of your life?
You and God are the author. At any time you can just decide, I'm grabbing the pen
and I'm gonna write a new chapter. And so these
other chapters are part of my story and those tests I had are gonna be my
testimony. These previous chapters are gonna make the end of this book so
incredible. Talk about a plot twist. When I was one of my most downtowns and times
in my life I kept saying to myself plot twist, plot twist, meant I was writing a new chapter yeah I lost here yeah I lost
there yeah I made that mistake yeah I was down there yeah I'd lost my
confidence there plot twist BAM new chapter new author and I started to write
that new story and that first chapter doesn't have to be conquering Mount
Everest the first chapter needs to be a small win. When people look back on the
turnaround of their life, it's usually a small thing. Just a small one, and then another
one, and then another one. And all of a sudden, you've got momentum going back up the mountain
again. I just want to say to you, my brother or my sister, you're good. And your past does not disqualify you.
It's not too late.
There is a way out.
You can turn this around, I promise you.
Partner with God if you have faith in your life.
Partner with a friend if you don't have that at least.
Start to create the right momentum.
You can start right this second when this video ends
by taking one step towards whatever that new life is.
It could be as simple as writing down a new set of goals.
It could be as simple as stopping after this video and sending a loved one a text.
It could be getting with someone right now and saying, I need your help.
It could be just going to the gym and hitting the weights for the first time.
It could be hitting your workout hard.
It could be just when this is over opening up your scriptures again.
I mean right when this is over.
Your past does not disqualify you and it does not equal your future. Remembering that you were
born to do something great. And also just remember this my precious friend.
Remember this. Most of the great people that you admire in your life went
through the time you are. They went through their version of the wilderness,
myself included, many different times
There's a wilderness in most people's lives. There's four seasons in everyone's life
There's winter spring fall and summer and all of us have winter all of us do all of us have that time of year
We're all of a sudden we leave winter and spring begins with some hope again
I want this video to be the beginning of the transition
from your winter to your spring.
And before you know it, if you can get this momentum going
and take some of these steps that I've required here,
it'll be summer again, and it's gonna be awesome.
And then there'll be a time of change again in the fall.
And at some point, probably winter will return again.
But the key thing in life is that winter's become shorter
and shorter and shorter.
And that the springs and summers become longer
and longer and longer.
This is just a season, my friend.
This too will pass.
You were born to do something great with your life.
If you have this man in your life,
or this woman in your life,
please tell them that you love them.
But more importantly, get with them
and allow them to express themselves to you.
Allow them to get it out.
And if you have any of these feelings, everybody,
get some help, go see somebody.
The world needs you.
It's not too late.
All right, God bless you, my precious brothers and sisters.
And I'm here every week for you to build
the springs and summers of your life
and make them longer and beautiful and more abundant for the people that you love.
Take care. God bless you. Sorry for the interruption, but are you enjoying this show on Google Podcasts?
