The Challenger Male: Welcome to Manhood

Dude...Be Accountable To You

Gents: It is time to master ACCOUNTABILITY! I get having accountability partners are important, but YOU have to look yourself in the mirror and finally say "enough is enough, it is time to change and no partner is responsible for this...it is ME that has to own this and get s**t done! ....The best thing we can do is learn how to manage our time. Man-up. Show-up. Don't give up. Push through until you breakthrough! Challenge: Have that one on one conversation with yourself and tell yourself it is time to MAN-UP and make some changes! Free yourself from the BS distractions that have roadblocked your road to success!  Jump over to The Challenger Male Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/Don-Parkis-The-Challenger-Male-101390935064614/], comment on what you will commit to. What were you about to give up on? How will you instead push through for your breakthrough? Stay manly, Don

STOP wasting your time

Gents: Stop the guesswork....there is no such thing as work/life balance. It is just LIFE balance. The best thing we can do is learn how to manage our time. Man-up. Show-up. Don't give up. Push through until you breakthrough! Challenge: Is there something important to you where you feel like you hit a dead end? Where you want to quit, but at the same time, this mission is important to you? I challenge you to dig in...go 100% and identify the one thing you want to accomplish and figure out where to fit this into your daily schedule.  Jump over to The Challenger Male Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/Don-Parkis-The-Challenger-Male-101390935064614/], comment on what you will commit to.

What I Learned About Ingratitude

Fellow Dudes! Today I learned about manning-up with GRATITUDE and fighting INGRATITUDE...more importantly how to handle ingratitude. I was listening to The Daily Fuel podcast with Garrett J. White of the Warrior Way, and the topic was about INGRATITUDE. I learned that I need to lose the toxic f**k tards...think about the amount of energy we waste on ungrateful people not only affects us but those around us! Time to stop letting this shit bother you! I know easier said than done- well I didn't say it would be easy!... Challenge: Be mindful of opportunities to say THANK YOU to someone who helped you, no matter how big or small! And take it one step further- is there someone who has helped you, where you could have expressed gratitude but didnt? Go find this person (if you can) and remind them of the time they did something that was super helpful, apologize for not thanking them, and then thank them. You'd be surprised how this could affect a person. So don't be a dick, just do it!

Stop Being A Quitter

Gents: Stop being a quitter....stop giving up when things get tough. Man-up. Show-up. Don't give up.  Push through until you breakthrough! Challenge: Is there something important to you where you feel like you hit a dead end? Where you want to quit, but at the same time, this mission is important to you? I challenge you to dig yourself out of your pit of despair and find a way!

I Screwed Up

Men: Thank you for stopping by and listening to me rant! This is my attempt to build a community where we can share, inspire, and grow. This episode is all about screwing up! Yes, we all screw up sometimes. What's important is how we learn from this. Accountability is key brothers. Yesterday I talked about being the superhero...today I messed up and lost my cool with my kid. I could tell he was hurt...needed to make amends. Spoke to my kiddo and all squared away. But man, I felt like crap until I did something about it.  Challenge of the Day: If you lost your cool with anyone (kid(s), wife, friend, neighbor, colleague- anyone! Take the first step. Settle it and move on. It is a very fulfilling feeling (not only for you but for the other person as well). Might not feel comfortable, but I am confident it will make a world of difference.  Check out The Challenger Male [https://www.facebook.com/Don-Parkis-The-Challenger-Male-101390935064614] Facebook page- Share your story.
