A lot of men say they “know who they are” — until they’re tested. Standing up for your beliefs isn’t about being loud, aggressive, or argumentative. It's about alignment between what you say, what you tolerate, and what you do. Here’s what that actually looks like in real life 👇 1️⃣ Know what you stand for (most don’t)If someone challenged you right now, could you clearly explain: - Your values - Your non-negotiables - What you won’t tolerate If you can’t articulate it, you don’t really believe it yet — you’re just borrowing ideas. 2️⃣ Discomfort is the entry fee Standing for something will cost you: - Approval - Comfort - Sometimes relationships If you’re always liked, you’re probably bending. Growth doesn’t happen in agreement. 3️⃣ Silence is still a decisionNot speaking up is a stance — it tells people what you’ll accept.Over time, this erodes self-respect more than any argument ever could. 4️⃣ Calm > emotional Strong men don’t react — they respond. You don’t need to raise your voice to raise your standards. State your position. Hold eye contact. Move on. 5️⃣ Your actions matter more than your words You can talk about discipline, loyalty, health, integrity all day —but people watch what you live, not what you post. If your behaviour contradicts your beliefs, your nervous system knows it. That’s where anxiety and frustration creep in. 6️⃣ Not everyone comes with you — and that’s fine When you start standing firm, some people fall away. That’s not loss — that’s clarity.

For anyone that is keen to see what I was up to mid to late last year. What a crazy experience! Looking forward to pouring myself into this next chapter of community and growth. Appreciate the support! Fil

Just giving a shout out to @Antonio W Cretella for inviting quite a few people into the group. Fellas, I'm trying to build a group of savages here and appreciate any shout out. It literally takes a couple of minutes and can be done via a few DM's with your invite link or on IG. Ez!! See you all on the group call tomorrow morning @ 10AM with @Nathan Rajah I'm going to make sure that the energy is on point in here, we all get around each other and continue to give out some solid value so you lads can take it to the next level.

I know that everyone has their demons fellas and their poison. I had it myself in Alcohol & Drugs. The best thing about this is that you and any time can make the CHOICE and choose to do things different and build better. Here is a proven 12 step process that if it's implemented can take your life to the next level. I'm not saying that it's going to be easy but definitely an option worth considering. 1. Radical Honesty Call it what it is. If a behaviour is costing you health, money, relationships, or self-respect, it’s an addiction. Half-truths keep it alive. 2. Non-Negotiable Decision You don’t try to quit. You decide it’s no longer an option. Cutting back is just delaying relapse. 3. Remove Access Delete apps, block sites, cut contacts, change routines. If access is easy, failure is likely. 4. Change Your Environment Willpower loses to environment. New routes, new schedule, new places, new people if required. 5. Replace Dopamine You can’t remove dopamine, only redirect it. Hard training, long walks, cold exposure, and meaningful work replace cheap hits. 6. Structure the Day Unstructured time feeds addiction. Wake time, training, work blocks, meals, and sleep must be planned. 7. Expect Withdrawal Anxiety, boredom, irritability are normal. This is your brain recalibrating, not a reason to relapse. 8. Kill the Negotiation “I deserve it” is the addiction talking. Stress, success, or boredom don’t justify self-destruction. 9. Track Streaks Ignore feelings. Track days clean, sessions trained, sleep quality, and money saved. Momentum comes from proof. 10. Add Accountability Isolation keeps addiction alive. Tell someone who won’t coddle you — coach, mentor, or group. 11. Build Identity You don’t quit a habit, you change who you are. “I don’t do that anymore” becomes law. 12. No Romanticising You didn’t lose anything — you escaped. One slip reopens the cage. Stay structured and moving forward.

Good morning gents, I think this is pretty universal for most men but it goes a little something like this... Most men aren’t lazy — they’re mentally exhausted 🧠By midday you’ve already made more decisions than most people make all day: tools, timelines, problems, people, pressure. That drains your brain fast. By the time you get home, your willpower is gone 🔋That’s why training gets skipped 🏋️‍♂️, food choices slip 🍔, and scrolling or beers win 🍻. That’s not weakness — it’s decision fatigue. This is where structure matters ⚙️Structure removes decisions. You don’t ask “Do I feel like it?” — you already know what happens and when. Same wake-up time ⏰. Same training days 📆. Same basic meals 🥩. Less thinking, more doing. When there’s no structure, you negotiate with yourself all day 🤯Everything feels heavier than it should. When there is structure, you run on autopilot — even on hard days 💪. Start simple this week:• ⏰ Pick one wake-up time (Mon–Fri)• 🏋️ Lock in 2–3 training days• 🗂️ Choose one weekly planning / admin slot Structure isn’t restrictive. It's how you get your energy ⚡, clarity 🧠, and consistency 🔁 back. WHY STRUCTURE CURES DECISION FATIGUE • 🧠 Fewer daily decisionsStructure pre-decides your day so you’re not constantly choosing what’s next. • 🪜 Less mental loadRoutines stop your brain working overtime on basic tasks. • 🔋 Energy is preservedWillpower isn’t wasted on small choices — it’s saved for what matters. • 🔁 Consistency without motivationYou act because it’s scheduled, not because you “feel like it.” • 🛠️ Lower stress & better follow-through Knowing what’s coming removes anxiety and keeps you executing. That’s why structure doesn’t box you in —it sets you free 👊 Fil
