Getting tired of your shyt
Devin McDermott
I've gone through some massive changes over the past 12-or-so years.
From severe health problems and subsequently quitting sugar, dairy, and gluten… to a few career changes… to transforming my body through eating right and lifting… to overcoming my addictive personality… I've been putting myself through it for a while!
And there's a common theme in every change I've made:
I reached a point where I got sick and tired of my own flippin' bullshyt.
Where I was so pissed, so disheartened, so low and disappointed in myself… that the script flipped.

Suddenly the pain of staying the same and continuing to do what I'd been doing became greater than the pain of pulling out the stops and doing whatever it took to fix it. I turned my pain and frustration into righteous fury and channeled it down better paths.
That, dear reader, is one of the most powerful places you can reach as a man.
And every single time I've seen a guy become absolutely fed up with his own horseshite, it's preceded massive positive changes not long later.
You can get there in a couple ways.
One, you could passively wait until you naturally reach that place. It'll probably happen eventually, although for some guys it doesn't — such is the case for a guy I heard about recently who's still stuck in a rut he got into 40 years ago, who's in his mid-60's and running out of time to fix it. Though, even for him, it's not too late…
Anyways, there's a more reliable way:
Be willing to have a good, long, hard look at yourself in the mirror.
Reflect on your actions, your lifestyle, your level of satisfaction and fulfillment. Ask yourself if you're living up to your own dreams, goals, and standards. And be honest with yourself, full-stop. If you feel disgusted and disappointed about anything, let those emotions flow. Just feel them. And then consciously turn them into that righteous fury I was mentioning earlier…
The stronger the righteous fury, the better.
Note: righteous fury is specifically not self-flagellation or being down on yourself. It's a productive fury directed towards solving a burning problem.
If you've been messing up, the first step is being honest with yourself about it.
That's the path that leads to the better parts where you're showing up as the kind of man you truly want to be again.
So where are you falling short?
Take that look in the mirror and don't be afraid of what you see.
Because in that honest reflection lies the power to change whatever it is.
Dig in, find your resolve, and know you can make it better.
