Hey bros,
I’ve got some bad news for all of you this week. You will never be the perfect bro.
Of course, that’s also good news. When you’re a bro-in-progress, you become free to be yourself, to adapt to changes in your life, and best of all, to try new things. Want to be more social? More jock-like? Or maybe even more surfer-like? Go for it! You’re in control, not some outdated stereotype people think you “should” live up to. It’s your life – and your bro-hood – to experience.
Another wonderful thing about being a bro-in-progress is that you can let go of the insane idea that you have to be perfect. Life is not meant to be lived like a Hunger Games event where any mistake is likely to kill you. Admit that you make mistakes, and that you’ll make more in the future. The important thing is that you learn from each one.
If you feel like your life is stagnating right now, and not making much progress, the best way to get the ball rolling is self-observation. Start by just “watching” yourself and how you act as you go through the day. What do you think about? What things do you say to people? What’s your body language like? Once you answer questions like these, you’ll start to be able to identify habits and traits that you want to change.
Bro on!
Later,
-The Blog Dude
