Men, let’s talk today about something a little lighter.. by talking about something I think we’ve all been guilty of at one time or another.
D’ja ever notice how men sometimes will do one tiny thing to fix a problem…and then when it doesn’t work, we immediately jump straight to replacing the entire thing?
· No middle ground.
· No in-between.
· Just pure, unfiltered male logic.
The sink drips once? Tighten the handle.
Still drips? Well looks like we need a new sink.
Phone glitches once? Restart it.
Still glitches? Guess it’s time for a new phone.
Car makes a noise? Turn up the radio.
Noise still there? New car time.
Ok yes I’m exaggerating a bit on that last one but I think you get the point. It’s funny, but it’s also how a lot of men handle life, too.
We try one small thing, and if that doesn’t magically fix everything, we assume the whole situation is unfixable.
But here’s the truth most men never hear:
· You don’t need to scrap the whole thing.
· You don’t need to rebuild your life in a weekend.
· You don’t need to “start over” every time something doesn’t go perfectly.
Sometimes all you need is a second adjustment.
· A better angle.
· A clearer plan.
· A steadier hand.
Here are a few areas where giving up too fast ends up costing you more than sticking with the process:
➡️ Fitness…. My friends one bad week doesn’t reset your progress. It happens in fact it’s inevitable that it will from time to time. The trick is not to let it derail you for good.
➡️ Money — one unexpected bill doesn’t make you bad with finances. Things are going to happen from time to time that you didn’t expect. Plan ahead, set money aside for those emergencies and if you still can’t cover it make a plan to get it resolved
➡️ Relationships — one disagreement doesn’t define the connection. Don’t let a tiny issue become a big one. Address it, deal with it and if it’s something that you can’t resolve either learn to deal with it or move on. Communication is key, novel concept I know but one most couples these days fail to do
➡️ Discipline — this is the big on because it in my opinion is what defines success in life or not. One slip doesn’t erase the effort you’ve put in. As I said with fitness it’s inevitable you’ll have them. The key is to deal with it and then move on. Consistency over Crashing, Discipline over temporary desire. That is what leads to long term success.
Bottom line men is that I think for many of us we just love overcorrecting, and forget that sometimes the solution is quieter than that.
It’s being more patient, more strategic, more focused on the long term instead of the short.
So today, instead of throwing out the whole thing, try one more simple fix.
You’ll be surprised how often the second attempt works.
Alright men let’s talk about it…What’s one thing you’re guilty of “replacing too fast” in life?
