do you know what you are getting yourself into when you become a blended fam.

Blended families are quickly becoming the new normal in our societies. While it’s no secret that having a stepfamily creates intense complexities that simply don’t exist in intact families, you don’t have to let these complexities hinder your union. I set out to identify the some critical nuggets of advice you’ll ever need for a healthy blended family. Some Reasons Why Every Man Needs a Men’s Coach to Breakthrough in their Life and Relationships. Does it feel like something is missing internally? Like the fire that once consumed your very soul has been extinguished…replaced by frustration, dissatisfaction, and the exhausting monotony of working your fingers to the bone to fuel a materialistic lifestyle you no longer want or have never truly enjoyed? Like you’re missing out on the most important things in life…the deep connections and friendship, the wild and exciting romantic relationships, and the lust for adventure and purpose that has fueled men for millenia. Thoreau wrote, “The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation.” Look around you – this is as true today as it was then. Perhaps even more so. We all enter into this world as a blank slate. An empty canvas to be filled with rich experiences, connections, and adventures. Men have always longed to… Travel the world with the love of his life. Experiencing exhilarating adventures, new cultures, and once in a lifetime experiences…But instead, he’s stuck at the office. Lying to himself every day that “Once this next project is finished, then I’ll make time for romance, adventure, and living fully.” Discover a mission so powerful and beautiful that he is willing to give his very life to see it manifested…Yet he spends his days doing work he dislikes with people he can barely tolerate just to pay for an endless stream of “stuff” that empties both his wallet and his soul. Jump out of bed each morning before his alarm goes off excited and on FIRE for the day ahead…But instead, he feels tired, burnt out, and depleted by the never-ending cycle of earning more money to keep up with the Jone’s and validate his worth in society. Deepen his connection with himself, not only ‘finding’ himself, but actively sculpting himself into the confident and alive man he’s always aspired to be…But instead, he settles for society’s version of success, stifles his masculine spirit, and sacrifices his deepest hopes, dreams, and desires at the altar of the almighty dollar. What’s interesting is he did everything he was told to do by the book in an effort to make his life remarkable, memorable, and adventurous, but here he sits, glued to a computer screen living a life of quiet desperation. We live in a world where men are now more afraid than ever to be masculine, alive and act like strong grounded men. And the problem is getting worse by the day. Just consider that.. The suicide rate for men is 3.5x higher than that of women (iconic men who surpassed society’s version of “success”: like Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, Avicci and Heath Ledger fell victim to this horrible act) The divorce rate in the U.S hovers above 51% Men are 3x more likely to become alcohol and drug dependent – masking their problems and hiding rather than opening up and solving them. You can be forgiven for assuming that, at this point, men would reach out for help in droves. But because of society’s mandate that “Real men” are self-reliant and capable of handling everything by themselves, men are less likely than ever before to reach out for help. Instead, we numb ourselves to reality with pleasure inducing addictions. Porn, social media, video games, Netflix originals, and even “success”, have become the sources of our respite and salvation. But their shallow promises only exacerbate the issue. These vices do little to further our lives and nothing to solve the deeper problems men face. So let’s clear something up right now… Men’s coaching does not mean you are weak or incapable of achieving stellar results by yourself. Coaching simply allows you to grow faster by leveraging the guidance of an expert with the perspective, experience and know-how to breakthrough your limiting beliefs and propel you forward into the life you want. Someone to hold you accountable – to give it to you straight and help you make sense of your chaotic life. To finally free you of the BS story that’s been holding you back from experiencing the life and relationship you want. Let’s be honest here: Warren Buffet wouldn’t be the greatest investor of our time without Benjamin Graham… Marcus Aurelius wouldn’t be one of the greatest philosophers in history, the Emperor of Rome, and one of the most successful generals in military history without Epictetus… Michael Jordan wouldn’t be the greatest basketball player and (arguably) the greatest athlete of our time without Phil Jackson… And to believe that you’re the exception to the rule is nothing more than hubris.

If you want to live an exceptional life…a life filled with joy, adventure, romance, deep connection, and a sense of true masculine power…you need help getting there. Men must bravely enlist the help of other men who have walked the walk, “been there, done that”, and can share their wisdom and insight for living a remarkable life. And today, I’m going to share the ten reasons why men’s coaching is the “secret edge” you’ve been searching for. The “missing link” that will help you reclaim your masculine power, end your “Nice Guy” behaviors, and become more attractive to and respected by the highest quality women and most successful men in your community. Let’s dive in. 1. You Need Someone To Talk To Who Doesn’t Just Listen But Helps You Move Forward in Life Therapy can be great. And for some men, necessary. But it’s not the solution it’s been made out to be. Sure, they’ll listen to you. But they don’t stand for your greatness. They don’t push you to challenge yourself, eschew the status quo, and step into your role as the King and Creator of your own life. They know very little about reclaiming your masculine power and creating a life that makes you smile each night. Instead, they enable you to play small. Encourage it even for longer than necessary. A men’s coach doesn’t. When you enlist the help of other like-minded men who have been where you are today, they can spot your B.S. before you even open your mouth. They will hold you to a higher standard, demand that you play at a higher level, and challenge you in a way that others wouldn’t dare. Granted there are well-meaning mental health professionals that exist, yet few and far between. And after working with 1000s of men their feedback on the results of therapy vs. coaching were all but ubiquitous and mostly time consuming. With therapy, they spent years (some of them decades) digging through their past to identify all of the ways in which their parents, teachers, friends, and high school crushes screwed them up for life. They myopically focused on the trauma (real or perceived) of the past in hopes that somehow…by realizing that their anger issues stem from their broken relationship with their father…they would magically heal themselves and fix the problems with how they were showing up in the present. Therapy doesn’t empower you to move forward, it only helps you resolve that which is already in your rear view mirror. It won’t help you show up to your relationships in a more grounded way that women naturally respond to, build a lifestyle that excites you, or contend with the very real challenges you are facing in the present. It simply keeps you trapped by the challenges you’ve already overcome. With coaching, it’s a different story. Final thoughts My interpretation of having compatible natures means you share the same attitudes about health, travel, sex, and lifestyles. But because so many people never explore, acknowledge, and then practice who they truly are they rarely find their match. I mean, how can you connect with a same natured person if you're not being your true whole self! Attraction is one thing, but your relationship will not thrive if you don't enjoy for the moist part the same things. therefore blended families can be more stresfull than you thought. Now I know some would not fully agree.
