I want to introduce you to phase 2 of The Better Man Project. So lets see…it all started February 9, 2011…and today is June 6 2013…800+ days later. I wrote a post earlier today talking about how I have just felt lost lately – and by lately, I mean over the past 3 years since baseball ended for me. While I did find out a lot about myself during phase 1…I have come to a point in my life and in this project where it is time to seriously apply everything towards a large goal. What is that goal? Well actually…let me also introduce you to the book I am working on. A 365 day project…where I commit myself to a new challenge each…
This is what I have found: to let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen; to love with our whole hearts, even though there’s no guarantee — and that’s really hard, … that’s excruciatingly difficult — to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, when we’re wondering, ‘Can I love you this much? Can I believe in this this passionately? Can I be this fierce about this?’ just to be able to stop and, instead of catastrophizing what might happen, to say, ‘I’m just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I’m alive.’” – Brene Brown And isn’t that the truth? There are no guarantees. It makes it really scary sometimes. Actually, if I am being honest with myself here, it…
(If you haven’t had the chance, join me on Twitter http://bit.ly/Z0zCq9 and FB http://on.fb.me/RC57QW) — We all have 4 cylinder engines. Everyone. Don’t be mistaken by those that drive like they have a v6, v8 or v10…they really only have 4. But how can they drive like that? Let me tell you a story. I had a dream one night where I was floating above my life and got to see everything that I had done, I was currently doing, and a distant blurry fog in the future. The coolest part of the dream though was the location. I was on top of a mountain and my body below was walking around a temple that had three pillars. The first pillar was the one of the mind…the second…

“Anything I’ve ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death.” – Betty Bender “”It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, “Always do what you are afraid to do.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson “I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.” – Louisa May Alcott Fear You know, that paralyzing feeling that stops you in your tracks. I can’t tell you how many times I have been caught in this bear trap. But fear comes in many different shapes and sizes. It’s not always the person ready to run across the battlefield to save a brother in arms – in fact, it rarely is. For most of us, it’s facing daily…

It was Socrates himself who said that, ”True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.” Let me tell you a story. I was having a absolutely horrible day. I mean…really bad. Couldn’t get myself out of a funk, upset, teary eyed, not following through with my goals, feeling like my life was not moving forward and developing at all..the works. So I jumped on a train to go see my best friend in the city. On the way I took out my journal and started writing. The words began to pour out and eventually I started to make myself feel better. I began with all…
You don’t know me You’ve never seen me I’m not on the front of any magazine cover Never been on a TV show No expensive advertisement has shown me I haven’t won any big competitions No audience has laughed at my jokes I haven’t been photographed with any trophies Books are not written about me You don’t know what I have for breakfast You don’t know when I go to the gym – What I pray for at night The highs and lows in those moments of silence You don’t know my plans My dreams My doubts My insecurities You don’t know how loud the voice inside of me is — You don’t know me But you will. – Evan Sanders If you haven’t…
“Life will life you” it said to me But why did you have to turn everything off? Why did you make it so quiet? “You needed to learn. It all happens for a reason. Never forget that. Whatever I choose to do, there is a reason for it…one that always helps you grow.” You only give me as much as I can handle, I know that, I just sometimes wish you didn’t trust me so much. It hasn’t been easy. “But remember, the pressure cracks didn’t mean you broke, it means you survived and now have an amazing story to tell.” Will you help me write these stories? “Of course. But you already know how.” If you haven’t had the chance, read my book! http://amzn.to/18lRIci…
It’s been a month since this happened, but it has been stuck in my head ever since. I remember it just like yesterday. You were on the phone crying for about 15 minutes, and then the words came out of your mouth – words that I haven’t forgotten. They have been in my head ever since. You said, “Where are all the men who will make you fall in love with them every single day… Where are they?” All I wanted to say was…they are, here. Life is a funny thing sometimes. At least, this is what I have found being the young man at 23 years old that I am. And over the past year, I have experienced a lot of change that…
