BUDDY CHECK 22 is a day to call a veteran that you know and check in on them to hopefully change the fact that 22 veterans a day commit suicide. The best part... You don't have to go ANYWHERE. Invite your friends, have them invite theirs, and be a part of something that may just save a life.

Reality - You Have to Face It

Face the reality of the world we live in today. Be willing to speak honestly with the people around you and the people you love. Help them see the darkness and be prepared for it. Do not be one of the sheep. Hiding behind platitudes is not the answer. Be willing to step into the darkness when you have to in order to be there on the other side.

Find Your Purpose

We need to have a Purpose in our lives. A reason for living and doing the things that we do. We are meant for more than just slogging through this life. Every day isn’t going to be a highlight reel, but we are the ones responsible for finding that purpose in our lives. Don’t give up on that. Don’t settle for being less than the best of what YOU know you can be. In the end, when we face ourselves in that mirror, we need to know we are doing something with meaning. If what you are doing right now doesn’t feel like you are meeting that purpose then start formulating a plan. Ask for help. Take the time to start to figure out what YOUR purpose is. What do YOU want out of this life? Not sure, then try different things and be willing to discard those things that do not seem to fit you. Too many people are living lives of regret because they don’t invest the time in determining what their Purpose is. It’s challenging, but the benefits will amaze you.

Show Up Every Day

Life is challenging. It is easier to go at a comfortable pace, but that isn’t what being a man is about. We have to step up to the challenges in our lives. We are called to care for those around us. It is our job to care for the ones we love. We are called to be there for our spouse, for our children, for our family and for our friends. We may fall short, but that is not an excuse to not step up. Instead it is a challenge to be there and to show up every day. To push ourselves beyond any limits. When you look at the men to your left and to your right be the one they see pushing beyond the challenges. Then be the man that reaches out and offers a hand, but do not try to do the work for them. In the end a man must decide who he really is and he must be the one to meet this challenge head-on.

The importance of being physically fit

Being physically fit affects you mentally and is critical to your overall success. Now I am not talking about the obsessive level of fitness, but I am talking about that level where you feel good about yourself. When you exercise you release good chemicals into your system and you help flush the junk out of your system. You become more confident and this is because you are keeping a promise to yourself to TAKE CARE of yourself. Don’t misread this. I am not bashing on anyone so if you are fit, good for you. If you aren’t I’m not here to bash you, but I do highly encourage you to start moving in that direction. Not sure what to do? Ask someone. Believe it or not most people in the gym aren’t judging you or paying any attention to you except if you ask them a question. (And those assholes who are judging you… well they're assholes so you can ignore them!) All I am saying is this - When you take care of your body if affects you in a positive way that expands into your entire life. You can handle stress better. You can handle LIFE better. In the end you will benefit. So get out there and take care of your body. No one else can.

Self-Pity is a waste of time.

If you are spending any of your time wallowing in self-pity because of the cards you think you were dealt climb out of that pile and wake up. The world you are living in is a result of the choices you have made. Plain and simple. Shitty things happen in our lives. No doubt about it. Yes some people have it harder than others, but by and large the world around you is a result of the choices you have made in the past. Don’t like what you see? Decide that you have had enough. Change it. Reach out for help. Ask for advice. Choose a different path. You don’t have to do it alone. Be willing to step up and do whatever you have to do to change things. Stop believing anyone owes you anything. That is not how this world works. Our world is what we make it.
