I was deeply offended by this statement...

Manlihood ManCast

In this episode of the Manlihood ManCast, host Josh Hatcher dives deep into the pivotal moments in his life, driven by a powerful statement that initially offended him but eventually changed his perspective forever. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and the realization that the choices we make shape our reality.

Josh begins by recounting a financial counseling session he had during a challenging period in his life. The financial counselor uttered a statement that initially offended him deeply: "You are where you are because of the choices you've made." At the time, Josh felt victimized by external circumstances and didn't want to accept that he played a role in his predicament.

As he reflects on this encounter, Josh delves into the choices he and his wife made early in their marriage, including starting a family at a young age and moving back to his hometown. These choices, while meaningful, came with their own set of challenges and financial strains. The financial counselor's words echoed in his mind, forcing him to confront the reality of his decisions.

Josh emphasizes that life doesn't always offer immediate rewards for good choices. Sometimes, good choices involve long-term investments, and their positive outcomes may take time to materialize. Additionally, he acknowledges that even good choices can have unexpected consequences, but it's crucial to accept them and adapt.

The concept of karma, where good choices equate to good outcomes, is challenged, as Josh argues that life is far more intricate than a straightforward equation. He underscores the need for men to take responsibility for their choices and the consequences they bring. Instead of blaming external factors or individuals, men should embrace their power to determine their feelings, reactions, behaviors, and performance in life.

Josh concludes the episode with his signature sign-off, "I love you, I'm proud of you, and I'll see you next time." He encourages listeners to recognize their sovereignty in the world and to make choices that align with the men they want to become.

Join us for this thought-provoking episode and explore the profound impact of choices and consequences on your journey towards becoming a better man.
