Month: December 2025

It’s normal. 

You’ve set out on a totally proactive path. It’s of you, for you and by you. You’re becoming a real adult and you’re doing the work you’ve been avoiding, sometimes for years, decades.

Overwhelm, normal.

Confusion, normal.

Anger, surprisingly normal!

Regret too.

You are where you are. Always remember that, remind yourself frequently. The events of your past are water under the bridge. The point of doing anything meaningful, that brings you joy, is to bring you as much as possible into the present, that you’re enjoying the day to day.

It’s why I hold, and always will, that it’s so helpful to have someone objective to talk with. Not everyone will take it up but I’ve witnessed unexpected people start to ask for help and receive it and it’s transformed them. It’s certainly opened my eyes to things I didn’t even realise I needed to sort.

Living purposefully is a gift you can keep opening but, first, you must unlock yourself and everything you’ve been ignoring. Let the light in.

Let’s be honest, we whine and (English term) bellyache about ‘what we should be doing’ but we know, don’t we!

Life is simple, yet we complicate it. It adds drama and spice to life but doesn’t get us anywhere.

It’s the 1st December today, the final month of the year, not that you need telling that of course.

You want ‘New Year’s Resolutions’, you want the magical moment where everything becomes clear and you know exactly what to and how it’s going to roll out, you want a sign, a portent, an auspicious omen.

Personally, I don’t want the feeling of wasting another year.

I’ll be honest, I have a very specific end goal in mind, of buying back my family home. I know I can do it, the hows often evade me but I know I want to help financially and psychologically liberate men to living their best possible lives.

It’s not an easy road deciding every single, solitary step for yourself and it’s hard at times to keep to the path. That’s why I say asking for help is the best way to do. Accountability, knowing you’re not completely alone, someone to encourage you.

I am open and ready – to take the plunge at least! Are you? 

Let 2026 be your year – start now!
