064 | For Men Striving to Become More Confident & Disciplined | Alive In 5

Here's the # 1 tip for guys striving to become more confident & disciplined 👇⁣
⁣
I'll get straight to the point since I know you clicked the "More" button because this matters to you.⁣
⁣
First, DISCLAIMER: ⁣
⁣
Results will vary in direct proportion to the level of YOUR desire to stop feeling like you're an inadequate and unreliable man.
⁣
Okay, now that we got that out of the way, I want to tell you this simple principle that I've applied in my own life over the last decade, & that military Generals have attested to intentionally applying in their lives.⁣
⁣
You ready?⁣
⁣
In order to become a more confident and disciplined person, & to be known by others as someone who is self-reliant and dependable you MUST surround yourself with the people who CHALLENGE you to be better.⁣
⁣
Sounds simple enough, right?⁣
⁣
Then why aren't all men doing it?
And you might say, "well, I am!"⁣
⁣
But bro, are you really? Are you really being purposeful about surrounding yourself with people BECAUSE they challenge you? ⁣
⁣
Or, are you stuck in the default mode of surrounding yourself with people just like you?⁣
⁣
Because if you are going to tell me that you have been surrounding yourself with people who are truly challenging you, but you're still dealing with feelings of incompetence & inadequacy, then I am forced to question the intentionality of those relationships or the integrity of those people.
⁣
I'm also forced to remind you of that old adage that says "you become like the people you surround yourself with.⁣"
⁣
Right about now you should be asking yourself, "who in my phone book can I actually count on being there to sharpen me?" (You may not have used those exact words, but it's all the same)⁣
⁣
Bro, for the sake of your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health, I sincerely pray that you have at least ONE person that you can reach out to right now.⁣
⁣
But in case you don't, I would hate to leave you so exposed without also offering an opportunity to connect with a genuine community of like-minded Christian men.
We meet virtually to help forge, sharpen and shape each other into the image of the men God intended them to be.⁣
