A theme of 'Expectations' came up during tonight's Check-in. I wrote this 8 years ago. Would love to hear your POV on what this brings up for you. EXPECTATIONS AND AMBITIONS How do they form? What comes first? How are we influenced and by who? Expectations form from as early as birth. You are expected to grow into a perfect human being, everyone is. Even before birth, expectations of who you are going to become. A baby is expected to be a sleeping, non-crier, that eats everything. What is expected of you now? By who is it expected? Self-expectation is a driver of anxiety and depression, failing to meet or exceed your own expectations can get anyone down. Try to make goals that don't require measured expectations. Make sure you expect your expectations to change. Think about the expectations you have of people in your life. What emotions will you feel if those expectations aren't met? What emotions will they feel if they fail to meet those expectations? Don't be too ambitious with your expectations. Expectations can destroy ambitions. Expectations can destroy people. People spend their whole lives living up to the expectations of others. People spend their whole lives living up to their own expectations. Develop expectations that can evolve with you as you go through life. There are no definites. The ultimate freedom is to be free of expectation.

Hey Gents, what does everyone do to build muscle and do for physical exercise?

It's happening again, brothers. Give yourself this opportunity to come together, plug into a deeper meaning. Share your situation and hold space for another man to share his. * Our last session was really powerful... I'm sure those involved can testify to this. I'll see you Wednesday, 730 Brisbane time.

If money and status were no object what would I do? Build a thriving connected Men's community online. I would host in person and online events for myself and other men to connect, grow and learn to embody the best version of ourselves. If I was less afraid of other peoples opinions, what would I say? Society is shifting and it is the Men of the world that have the ability to steer the outcome to one of deep community connection under the protection of EMBODIED Masculine energy that has nothing but benevolent intent and away from one where society is so fractured, divided and scared of it self that it hands its entire sovereign human rights over to a legislative machine that will continue imprisoning our children in the never ending carousel of wake, eat, work, consume, sleep. What actually makes me happy? Watching my children run around on the grass. Sharing small moments of connection with my wife. Watching other families connecting. Hearing how other men are transmuting their pain for positive change. Hearing how women have broken through noise and managed undisturbed birth. Does success make me happy? Yes. Success is the accumulation of set goals achieved or redefined. What is my definition of success? If money was taken out of the equation? If followers were taken out of the equation? Because that is what you are optimising for. Moving toward a benevolent mission and achieving the desired Milestones. What are the things I am hiding from myself? I am a boy living in a man's body. I have pain, immense pain that comes to me when I am shown how I have not met the minimum expectation within my relationships. By expectation I mean reasonably sort after behaviour to keep from making life harder for others. What are the emotions I am not prepared to feel? I struggle to let anger happen externally when it comes up, I hold it, I feel it, I get on with it. What are the things I feel the most shaming guilt around? The pornographic content I have watched in the past.
