The inward journey is often one of the last adventures men will go on. For some reason, we find it easier to take on the world than we do to take on ourselves. The danger for us is not going on the inward journey. When we don’t we become men who obey our low-level appetites, this has been obvious throughout history.We must build our inner character as men or we will allow outside influences to control and dominate us. Our strength begins on the inside; to tap into it, we must go on the inward journey.Defining the Inward JourneyThe ability to understand what we think and feelThis takes work=reflection.It moves us past our animalistic tendenciesReflection can also help us wrestle with our purpose and our meaningWhy the Inward Journey is HardReason 1: It takes time and effort which is why so many men don’t do itThere aren’t quick wins, but long protracted strugglesWe tend as men to think outside things will change us on the insideReason 2: It’s not very flatteringIgnorance is bliss. (Procrastination)Reason 3: It isn’t laid out for us clearlyWe like structure. Whether it’s sports, video games, or playing music; we want to know the rules so we can win.Because every person is different, the inward journey will look different for everyone. Even how we start will vary.The Key Word is JOURNEYThe inward journey isn’t something you can do in a sessionIt is a practice you have to make a habit. Think of it as a skill that takes time to build and maintain.Reflection isn’t something we often feel like we have time to doReflection is a learned habitYou are never done but you get to new levels of understanding and opennessThis makes your life more meaningful and your relationships deeperCHALLENGE:Start doing something to learn how to reflectA time of prayer each day, reading the daily proverb and then praying over it to see how it appliesJournaling a few times a week - not a diary, but a place to put what is happening in your mind, writing is processingGet a group of guys together for deep discussions (friends who are connected and want to do the same thing)RESOURCES TO HELP YOU THRIVE AS A MAN========================Thriving Man Coaching Resources4D MODEL FREE PDFLearn about the 4 fundamentals of a Successful LifeDiscover OUR SPEAKING AND HOW WE HAVE EMPOWERED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD
