Can ONE Weekend Change Your Life?

Hey Brother,

Years ago I hit rock bottom.

My dad, who was my best friend and hero, had a progressive form of dementia and I had to make the gut-wrenching decision to put him into a nursing home.

Even though I knew in my heart it was the right decision I had so much guilt, shame, and anger at myself.

Why didn’t I access my potential where I could’ve afforded to keep his apartment and hired the best caregivers to keep him in his home that he worked so hard to have?

And at the same time, how was I facing a divorce?

We were together for 13 years and i loved her very much and thought I’d be with her forever. The next thing I knew, she’s having an affair.

I gave her everything! Jewelry, shoes, the car, you name it. I kept her smiling, laughing, safe and provided for.

How did this happen?!?

Was I missing or doing something wrong? Who can I talk to this about?

I was embarrassed and ashamed to share this.

So I did what most men would do.

I hid.

I disappeared to the bat-cave to tried to fix and solve it and kept it to myself.

I’m sure you can imagine how the story goes… a painful, heart-wrenching divorce.

A massive blow to my ego. My self-esteem and heart had been smashed into a million pieces.

I came from a broken family and swore I’d never get divorced.

So there was no more hiding. No more pretending. NO more fake smiles and head nodding that everything is good in my life.

The truth is, I hit the bottom. I was broken. I was in the abyss of the Bermuda Triangle. I lost my wife, I lost my dad and my business tanked.

I was in that place every man tries his best to avoid or hide. I was so rooted in wanting to be the rock for everyone and always appear to have it together.

As a man, we’re taught there’s no room to let our guard down, get vulnerable, and, God forbid, ask for help…

So instead we put on our game face and when asked ‘How are you?’, it’s the robotic response we all give: ‘Great!’ or ‘Living the Dream!’

There was only one problem…

“It all comes from the heart” – ROY COCCIOLLO

As clear as day, the voice tells me, “David, you have two choices: do nothing, stay in the pit and make your new identity ‘please feel sorry for me,’ or have the courage to discover how this all happened, take responsibility, go after the life you want and help others do the same.”

I chose the second option. I knew life passes by quickly and I didn’t want to take my last breath and have regret knowing I didn’t live up to my potential.

So I worked better myself and be the man I was born to be.

In this new and upgraded version of myself, I attracted the love of my life who is my muse.

A woman I adore who inspires and motivates me to raise my standard and live into my potential.

Or that you have too many responsibilities that drag you down and leave no time for what you really want.

The problem is that you haven’t committed to truly stepping in and owning your life.

Fulfillment comes from the courage to grow yourself and step into your full potential.

The biggest reason you’re unfulfilled is that you’re terrified to be vulnerable.

You’ll barely admit to yourself much less out loud what’s really going on.

You’re buying the societal story that to be a man you should be able to figure it out on your own and never need any help.

I’m telling you that’s BS; part of owning yourself as a man is having the humility to recognize when you need support and getting it.

You’re too to close to your problems to see what’s really going on.

You can’t see your own blind spots.

The best of the best, from athletes to actors and businessmen, all have one
thing in common.

They have mentors giving them objective feedback on the invisible patterns they have that’s been holding them back.

Mentors that help them grow, optimize and crush it!

Mentors to help them to get past their sabotaging ways and hold them fiercely accountable to the greatness they possess so their potential comes to life.
