Embrace Vulnerability and Rewrite Your Future
As men, we are often taught to bottle things up, to “tough it out, to get on with it ” but what if I could get you to realise that there’s more strength in opening up? What if I could get you to identify and understand that vulnerability is not weakness but courage?
Why do we fail to realise that each and every day we get to decide how we can shape our lives for the future. Why is it so hard to realise that The past—filled with mistakes, regrets, or missed opportunities—is behind us. The future? Well that’s ours to create.
In my journey to mental exhaustion in the corporate world through recovery , I’ve learned this: "Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart." it meant so much to me I had it put on a tattoo on my forearm as a constant reminder.
Writing my book "The Bulletproof Banker" was my way of helping men with their mental health and in particular to manage stress, set boundaries, and stand tall in their values, while understanding that asking for help is not failure. It’s a reminder that the present moment is all we have and its ultimately where change begins. My book is available on Amazon
So men, let’s rewrite the story. Let’s normalize asking for help, mentoring one another, and building lives we can be proud of, mentoring young men into fine male adults.
Every morning is an opportunity for a new start, to learn from the past —to make it count.
Take a moment to think is there one decision you can make today that the future you will thank you for?
