Day 6 The Dragon
Every man has a Dragon
It is not outside you, it is within you
It is that pattern that keeps showing up, wrecking your focus, your patience, or your connection.
And here’s the hard truth: Until you can name it, you will keep fighting the wrong battles.
Leading you to feel that overwhelm, pressure, distress, shame…
WHY THIS MATTERS
You are doing the work to see your patterns.
Yesterday you learned to pause, breathe, be present
You took time to clarify your values Identifying the kind of man, father, and partner you want to be.
But discipline IS NOT about doing more. It is about identifying what keeps pulling you off track and learning to face it directly.
That is the dragon.
TODAY’S MISSION NAME YOUR DRAGON
Take five quiet minutes and ask yourself:
“What’s the one distractibility pattern that hurts the man I want to be the most?”
Examples:
- Constantly checking your phone when your kid’s talking.
- Saying “I’ll do it later” and breaking your own trust.
- Overthinking instead of acting.
- Jumping from task to task, never finishing.
- Shutting down emotionally when you feel pressure.
Now, think back to your values and the compass you set on Day 3.
Which of your values does this pattern betray most?
That’s how you know it’s the right dragon.
REFLECTION PROMPT
Write this down:
“My dragon is ________.It pulls me away from being ________ (value).”
Example:
“My dragon is distractibility, It pulls me away from being present and reliable.”
Keep it simple.
Don’t justify it.
Just name it.
Because once it has a name, it loses some of its power.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Discipline starts with facing what’s real not avoiding it.
When you can name your dragon, you can start building tools to tame it.
Every man who grows learns this: You cannot conquer what you won’t confront.
Challenge Reminder:Post in the group (or write privately):
“My dragon is ________. It pulls me away from being ________.”
You don’t have to slay it today.
You just have to stop pretending it’s not there.
