This Margaret Thatcher quote reminds us that success is rarely achieved without obstacles and setbacks. We may face challenges that require us to adapt and persevere in order to reach our goals.

As men, we may face battles in our personal and professional lives that require us to summon all of our strength and determination. Whether it's overcoming addiction, navigating a difficult career change, or repairing a broken relationship, it's important to remember that the journey towards success is rarely a straight line. The road may be bumpy, but it's the willingness to keep fighting that sets successful men apart.

Questions to consider- What is one battle I have faced in the past that required me to fight more than once? What did I learn from that experience, and how can I apply those lessons to future challenges? Remember, resilience is a key ingredient for success, and each time we overcome a challenge, we become stronger and more capable of overcoming the next one.

Be kind, be real, be you!

A few weeks back I attended a national conference for Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa (formally known as Male Survivors Aotearoa) and did an amazing presentation at it and he said this quote.

When I heard it, I liked it, and what resonated with me is the power of sharing our stories. The sharing our experiences and speaking up is crucial for progress and growth. If we keep our struggles and successes to ourselves, we limit our potential for personal and collective growth.

Many men struggle with the pressure to appear strong and self-sufficient, but it's important to remember that asking for help and sharing our experiences can be incredibly empowering. By opening up to others, we can gain new perspectives, learn from others, and form deeper connections. By opening up to others, we give others the opportunity to open up as well.

Question to consider- What is one area of my life where I could benefit from sharing my experiences and seeking support from others? Remember, vulnerability is not weakness. By sharing our struggles and asking for help, we can move forward and grow in ways we never thought possible.

Be kind, be real, be you!

Bob Marley reminds us that material possessions are fleeting, but wisdom is eternal. We can have all the riches in the world, but if we lose sight of what's truly important, we'll never find true happiness.

So, take a step back and evaluate what matters most in your life. Is it the accumulation of wealth and possessions, or is it the relationships you have with those around you? Are you chasing success at the expense of your health and well-being, or are you taking time to nurture your mind, body, and soul?

Questions to consider- What is one small change I can make today to align my priorities with what truly matters in life? Remember, it's never too late to start living a fulfilling life. Start now and make wisdom your new gold.

Be kind, be real, be you!

This Paul Boose quote reminds us that when we forgive, we free ourselves from the burden of resentment and anger, and open ourselves up to new opportunities for growth and happiness.

Holding onto grudges and resentments can weigh us down and prevent us from moving forward in life. It's important to learn to let go of the past and forgive ourselves and others for our mistakes and shortcomings. Forgiveness can lead to a brighter and more fulfilling future.

Question to consider- What is one thing or person that I need to forgive to move forward and create a brighter future for myself? Remember, forgiveness is not always easy, but it is necessary for personal growth and happiness. Choose forgiveness and open yourself up to a more fulfilling future.

Be kind, be real, be you!
Mauri ora!!!

Winston S. Churchill reminds us that success and failure are not the end-all, be-all. Success can be fleeting, and failure can be devastating, but it's the courage to keep going that truly counts, even when things get tough.

Think about a time when you experienced success or failure. Did it define you, or did you use it as a learning experience? It takes courage to push past our failures and keep moving forward, but it's in those moments of challenge that we grow and become stronger.

Question to consider- What is one area of your life where you need to find the courage to keep going? Keep pushing forward, even when it's hard, and watch as you grow and achieve great things.

Be kind, be real, be you!
Mauri ora!!!

Rumi teaches us that our words have power, and we should use them wisely. Raising our words means speaking with kindness, compassion, and understanding, rather than resorting to anger and hostility. If we raise our words, we can have a profound impact on our lives and those around us. When we communicate with kindness and empathy, we create an environment of growth and positivity.

Think about the last time you raised your voice in anger or frustration. Did it resolve the issue or create more problems? Now think about the last time you chose to speak with compassion and understanding. Did it create a more peaceful and productive outcome?

Question to consider- How can I use my words to grow and nurture positivity in my life and the lives of those around me? Remember, the way we communicate can impact our relationships, our work, and our overall well-being. Choose to grow flowers with your words, not thunder.

Be kind, be real, be you!

Change is inevitable in life; however, growth is a choice. To embrace change means to acknowledge that life is constantly evolving, and we must adapt to keep up. Embracing growth means we actively seek opportunities to learn and improve ourselves.

We may feel stuck or unfulfilled in our current circumstances. However, it's essential to realise that we have the power to make changes in our lives. Embrace change by identifying areas where you want to grow, taking risks, and pursuing new opportunities. Embrace growth by committing to personal development, seeking feedback, and continually learning.

Questions to consider- What is one area in your life that you've been resisting change? How can you embrace that change and use it as an opportunity for growth? Remember, change can be uncomfortable, but it often leads to personal and professional growth. Embrace change, embrace growth, and live a fulfilling life.

Be kind, be real, be you!

Fear is a natural emotion that we all experience in life, but it can also hold us back from reaching our full potential. This quote challenges us to view fear as a test rather than a barrier, an opportunity to overcome our limitations and grow stronger. It encourages us to face our fears head-on, to take risks, and to step outside of our comfort zones.

In our lives, fear can manifest in various ways, from fear of failure to fear of rejection. But when we confront our fears with courage and determination, we not only conquer them, but we also build resilience and confidence.

Questions to consider- What fears are holding you back? How can you face them and conquer them? Remember, fear is just a test, and you have the power to overcome it.

Be kind, be real, be you!

In Joyce Meyer’s book “The Power of Thank You" she explores the transformative effects of gratitude on our lives and relationships. Gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions we can experience, and it has the ability to transform our perspective and improve our overall well-being. When we take the time to express appreciation and thankfulness, we can create positive change in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

Incorporating gratitude into our daily lives can have a significant impact on our mental and emotional health. We can start by making a habit of expressing gratitude for the small things in life, such as a beautiful sunset or a warm cup of coffee. We can also make a point to express gratitude to the people in our lives who have made a positive impact, whether it's a friend, family member, or colleague. By focusing on the good in our lives and expressing thankfulness, we can create a positive cycle of joy and positivity.

Question to consider: How can you incorporate the power of thank you into your daily life? Take a moment to reflect on the things you are grateful for and make a point to express your appreciation to the people in your life who have made a difference. Remember, gratitude is a powerful emotion that can transform your life and the lives of those around you.

Be kind, be real, be you!

In the quote, Sun Tzu suggests that even during chaotic and difficult situations, there is also the potential for opportunity. This means that instead of solely focusing on the negative aspects of a situation, it's important to look for any potential benefits or positive outcomes that may arise.

We can apply this idea into our personal lives by encouraging ourselves to adopt a more optimistic and proactive mindset. Instead of getting discouraged by obstacles or setbacks, we can look for ways to turn them into opportunities for growth or success. By doing so, we can transform challenging situations into moments of empowerment and achievement.

Questions to consider- How can you shift your perspective to see opportunities amid chaos and difficult situations? What steps can you take to actively seek out potential benefits and positive outcomes? Consider the impact this mindset shift can have on your life and how it can help you achieve your goals.

Be kind, be real, be you!

I came across this quote in a podcast the other day and thought, I must share this!

At first glance, this quote might seem to contradict what we traditionally associate with being a champion - that is, someone who excels in their field and is the best of the best. However, what Ali meant was that a true champion doesn't just focus on their own success, but also on the well-being of others. For Ali, being a champion meant using his platform to speak out against injustice and fight for what was right.

How can we apply Ali's words to our own lives? As men, we may often feel pressure to be the best and succeed at all costs. However, Ali's quote reminds us that true greatness is not just about personal success, but also about how we use our success to make the world a better place. Instead of focusing solely on our own achievements, we can strive to use our talents and resources to help others and fight for what we believe in.

Questions to consider: So, what will you do to be a champion in your own life? How can you use your success to make a positive impact on the world around you? Remember, the canvas is no place for a champion - it's out in the world, where we have the power to make a real difference.

Be kind, be real, be you!

This Robin Sharma quote means that fear only has power over you if you allow it to control your thoughts and actions. You have the power to overcome your fears by taking control of your thoughts and not letting them control you.

Fear is a natural emotion that can prevent us from achieving our goals and living our lives to the fullest. However, we must remember that we have the power to overcome our fears by taking control of our thoughts and actions. We should not let our fears control us but instead, use them as a source of motivation to face our challenges and achieve our goals.

Question to consider- What fears are holding you back from achieving your goals, and how can you take control of them to move forward in your life? Remember, you have the power to overcome your fears and achieve anything you set your mind to.

Be kind, be real, be you!
Mauri ora!!!
