Something that can be challenging for a man is to find joy in the mundane or in the routine. Life has a few peaks and many valleys, so a lot of the time we find ourselves on the grind.
The grind can feel exhausting, but it’s while on the grind that we discover a lot about ourselves. It’s here where we find our purpose and meaning.
As we embrace the fact that character is built through struggle, we begin to find joy. As we begin to find joy, we start to look forward to what lies before us, and we become grateful for it.
In this episode of Untaming Masculinity, Dan and Brad discuss the concept of learning to find joy in the journey. Dan shares his current experience of putting together a home gym and how the various struggles he’s run into have become challenges he has looked forward to overcoming, while Brad discusses his long-standing challenge of becoming proficient at jiu-jitsu. The guys also discuss why finding joy in their journey has made them better men and how you can find the same.
