DD: BLAME IS FOR LOSERS | Own it, fix it, build.

Men, if you’re stuck, stop pointing fingers. Life doesn’t change because your boss changes, your wife changes, or your circumstances change. Life changes when you do.

PROMO SPOT:  Stop drinking weak coffee. Weak coffee = weak mornings = weak men. Fuel up with Confined Space Coffee and get 10% off your first order with code DANGEROUSBREW10.

QOTD - "The unexamined life is not worth living." – Socrates

Every man has a tendency to play the blame game. “If only my wife respected me… if only my boss noticed me… if only my past didn’t hold me back.”

SOTD – 2 Corinthians 13:5 (ESV): “Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.”

WHAT Is It?
Self-reflection is the disciplined practice of looking inward with honesty. It’s asking hard questions of yourself:

• Where am I failing?
• Where am I growing?
• Where am I lying to myself?

APPLY – Tactical Action Steps

1. Mirror Check Journal: Write down one thing you did right and one thing you did wrong each day. Brutal honesty, no excuses.
2. Question Drill: Weekly ask yourself three questions.
   • Where am I compromising?
   • What’s the truth I’m ignoring?
   • What step can I take this week to fix it?
3. Brotherhood Audit: Once a month, sit down with a trusted brother and let him call out blind spots in your life. No defense, no rebuttal, just listen.
4. Scripture Filter: Read a passage of scripture daily and write how your life does, or does not line up with it.

DANGEROUS FOCUS FOR THE WEEK: Every night this week, before you go to bed, write down:

• One area where you showed strength.
• One area where you made excuses.
• One action you’ll take tomorrow to close that gap.
