You’re not wrong. I coach men, so I give a male perspective addressed specifically to men. All due respect to the good, and hard working women of the world too.
pushing yourself requires mental strength not physical, your literally held back by your own mental strength. imagine if you can for miles and you feel like your legs are going to break but Theres half a mile left, thats where mental strength kicks in which pushes you to the limits
So epic this video !! Thank you Brandon for sharing it ! still can't believe that little amount of views ! It makes it even more precious I believe haha
This was a great listen. The analogy to leveling up a skyrim character helped a lot in putting this all into perspective. Liked and subbed. I'm actually shocked this channel isn't much bigger.
Yeah the difference is based on context. Telling someone to man up is seen as toxic. Me saying that I had to man up in a situation is not. Telling someone to man up isnt helpful, and in most situations telling someone that will either do nothing or make the situation worse. Think about the fact that a lot of the time, when this is said the person who is being told to man up is already stressed. You are adding stress with no benefit. Annother time this phrase is used is to point out a guy's lack of traditional masculinity. THAT is toxic, there is no need to point that out, it is just something people use to lord something over other people.
Hey mate I appreciate your take on that, and I can see some value in what you’re saying. I think intention matters. If someone was telling a guy to man up with the intention of “lording it over them” then obviously that’s a shit and unhelpful thing to do. However I think if you’re capable of telling yourself to “man up” in a situation to produce the desired outcome despite the adversity, then being able to accept that call to action from someone you trust in a moment of stress or crisis would absolutely be a useful skill to develop. At the end of the day the men that take action despite hardship are the ones who get the lion’s share of opportunities in life. If I cannot motivate myself, or if I can be demoralised easily by other people’s criticisms (which may sometimes be harsh but warranted) then I will lose over time to a man that doesn’t let those things stop him. I’m not saying it’s fair, or kind, and I’m happy to be wrong about this, but so far I think the evidence we see throughout history and up until today supports this.
Good shit bro, most need to know and realize this. I am a man opposite to what you just described,I have always had this mind state my entire life. Since I was a young teenager I have suffered and battled extreme anxiety and debilitating panic disorder and all that time undiagnosed add az well. Truly bash up. I am a solo father of a beautiful intelligent inspiring 3 year old son that has given me the strength,courage and dedication to overcoming a lot of my struggles to give him the father he needs and deserves. And that's all that matters to me in this life. Respect from NZ💪
Appreciate the share brother. Glad you live your life knowing what’s truly valuable to you. Sounds like you’ve been through a lot bro, but also great to hear that your son has given you purpose and reason to be the best man you can be. Keep that shit up 💪 If you liked that mate, give the channel a follow. The more popular it becomes the more men that will see the message 🙏
@@Unbreakableman_Challenge Thanks brother I appreciate your reply. I have been subbed for a few weeks. You are doing what men need! Because let's face it most men won't admit they need help. Keep up the good work. Your retreat interests me I wish I could attend.
Great podcast and a topic well deserved. Especially with us stubborn men. Jason touches on his past and how he has been able to pull himself out of the lowest of lows. Jason and I have been friends for over 20 years and although he talks about not focussing on himself in the past, its that selflessness that has help more people than he realises. You touch on showing gratitude. Jason has been my rock for all these years, whether it be life advice, career advice or anything else and that is something that I will always be grateful for..... I have noticed the changes in Jason since he has been with you and the commitment and enthusiasm for living a better life is testament to your support for him and the rest of the UBM team. If only I lived closer....... Cheers
Hey mate, I appreciate the comment, Jason is one hell of a guy that’s for sure. He gives myself and UBM way too much credit! It’s great to see people looking out for each other though. The mental health conversation can be a difficult one as it’s a complex topic and we’re not taught a system to deal with it, but if we all have at least one person in our life that we can talk about this stuff with that would be a great outcome. Where do you live mate?
@@LivingType1 You should come and join us for one of our weekend retreats brother. If you appreciate the kind of stuff Jason talks about and you reckon what we do would make a big difference for you then it would be worth considering. Jas has done it so you could chat to him about the event mate 💪
