In the oilpatch, making money is the easy part, if you have a good work ethic. In this chaos I created to make money how does that apply to my values and 90 day targets?? In being one dimensional you push in ways to expand one area. I was really good at body and business, but only at one at a time, leaving the rest to crumble to the ground. In knowing my values now and having clear targets in all...

I settled for going to an artist that I knew probably wouldn’t be the best fit because I had shiny object syndrome. I had something in my mind I wanted and wasn’t even sure that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted a tattoo but I was vague in what I wanted and ran to the first opening I could get instead of waiting for the guy that I really wanted to and get specific about what I wanted. This holid...

When stuck in the midlife triangle of chaos of spouse, kids and business it is easy to lose yourself. In losing yourself you are stuck in this hamster wheel that you feel you can’t get out of. I finally made the decision to go away to rehab in Thailand months ago for my pattern disruption and was inspired by others recently in their story of pattern disrupts. It is easy to feel comfortable in seda...

How many times did I just things around in life just to make life work. Just to exist instead of strategically looking at what I truly wanted. In stepping back and looking at why my business is not what I sent out to have because my Being and my relationships were failing me. I lost sight of what I truly wanted in life and was just MOVING ROCKS to try to make life work. Sit back and relax and list...

There is so many times throughout the day we sedate to not deal with what is actually going in our life. What the problem with that is when that becomes a way of life on a constant basis to RUN AND HIDE, we burn everything to the ground without even noticing the damage in all of our relationships over time. In the daily actions now and the Men of Iron have I found that sedation and drifting from w...

The revelation today is who wants to SIT IN THEIR OWN THOUGHTS. I am not a spiritual person by nature but the events over the past year has had me take a more mindful approach to life and realize there is something bigger than me, bigger than my EGO.

Over a decade of letting my body fall apart working on the road caused me to totally let my body fall apart to the point I could barley tie my shoes without breathing heavy after being an athlete all of my life.  This cause me to totally go the opposite direction and quit drinking almost entirely and get a personal trainer. What I did not know is I was using this as a cross addiction from sto...

In the last episode we looked at the FACTS behind what I allowed to happen. When it came time to actually address those FACTS of my life, I had no idea what FEELINGS were and how to process them and once I started to an entire new life has emerged.

In my experience there has been times in my life working away from my family where I would come home after a long hitch away and I should be happy to be going but I just did not FEEL anything. Not happy, not sad, just nothing inside. If I had of looked at the FACTS behind why this was going on maybe I could have recognized this was happening to me and why.

In the hustle of life of being alone on the ROAD, working away to provide for your family, I lost myself and found that I had been in the proverbial PIT for so many years now.
