Men choosing change live happier lives

Hey, why are you here? You landed on this page for a reason, maybe the title of this article grabbed you in some way.

Are you one of the men out there who know they are not all they can be? Those men choosing change? Or maybe you’re still wondering how on earth you’ll be able to change.

It’s amazing that so many of us men think our stories are unique.

I often hear from men I talk to for the first time, talking about their relationship failing, them not being great dads, how they could be doing better at work, that they drink too much, or the fact that they want healthier habits… The common themes here are: they need to find purpose, happiness and fulfilment in life.

They say, “have you heard this before?” and “can you help?”

Get comfort in knowing that asking for help is okay

See, whatever it is for you that makes you one of those men choosing change is that your story might be unique to you in its fine detail but it’s actually familiar. I'd even go as far as saying common.

It’s important to know you are not alone and yes, of course I can help. I have helped other men make change and transform what they currently do into what they actually need.

You need to be one of the men choosing change, because you cannot keep doing 70% of the same stuff that got you here and expect to turn your life into all it can be.

Could coaching be the answer?

Life coaching is one way to move you forward in your quest for change. Having an experienced coach to ask you the right questions, shine the light on life and provide a strategy to make the change you seek is highly important but the most essential ingredient is you.

YOU must choose change for there to be any chance of lasting and substantial change. Because if you don’t, then you will never achieve all you can. Life might become better, but it will not be all it can be.

YOU choosing change, confirms to something deep within you that you have agency over your own life. Nobody controls your destination but you and it always starts with you taking control of your choices.

“If you’re stuck or struggling or being dismantled. If you feel like your life is being pulled out from underneath you. I say congratulations, like what a fucking opportunity that is. You’re being given an opportunity to look at yourself and reconstruct your life from the ground up and not everyone gets that opportunity; and it holds the potential energy to create something entirely new, if you are willing to respect it and give it the attention it deserves.” Rich Roll

Why are men choosing change at some point in their lives?

Well I know a thing or two about this, from being a life coach but first and foremost, from my own experience going through the change journey.

It usually comes down to being sick and tired of the same thing happening over and over again, they finally gather the courage to say “ENOUGH. I am going to do something about this.”

Sadly, lots of men procrastinate. Maybe the male ego plays a part in there too but it’s mostly got to do with procrastination. Through procrastination, they delay hoping that something magic will happen and finally all of the things they couldn’t figure out would just change. Rarely does it though. Often, those same men find something or someone else to blame for their inaction.

So, if you are one of the brave and courageous men choosing change, then take action.

Something’s gotta give before you give in

That’s right, act! Don’t put it off anymore.

Why? Because you’ve been there before, countless times, and you know working your shit out by yourself doesn’t work.

Sometimes, to achieve something bigger than you, you need a support network in place of other men having their own challenges but who are also choosing change. Never underestimate the power of a common goal.

Sometimes, you also need the help of professionals who are able to give you the right tools to succeed, the framework to set realistic goals, and the accountability you know you need to keep you moving forward.

If you are one of those men choosing change then taking purposeful action for you, about you, is the only path forward. 

Choosing change is what is required of you now. Truth be told, the times you didn’t take charge of life and didn’t choose to make a change when you could have, have probably contributed more to this moment than the times you did.

Be brave, be courageous and be all you can.

Is your life worth choosing change now?

If yes, the only choice is to join other men choosing change.
