You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest.

Embrace your fears and boldly charge your own path.

When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.

You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.

This is your life. This is who you are. This is who you will become.

At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.

Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler.

I'm the host and the founder of this The Order of Man podcast of Movement.

Welcome here today. Thank you for tuning in.

Most importantly, thank you for being man.

It is apparent that the world is in need of men.

I mean, everywhere you look, you see guys who are 30, 35, 40, 50, 60 years old.

And yet, they're not acting like men. They're acting like pre-pubescent little teenagers.

They whine and they cry and they snivel and they complain and they gripe and they moan about every little thing.

And all the bad things that are happening to them and why their situation is unique and why their situation is a product of some external, existential crisis or set of circumstances that they didn't create for themselves.

They paint themselves as victims. They cry about women. They cry about their bosses. They cry about the economy.

And at the end of the day, they're just complaining about everything that's going wrong in life without taking a good hard look in the mirror in realizing that it's the guy staring back at them that is creating most of the problems that they're dealing with.

And I'm not immune to this. You're not immune to this. I catch myself on certain days, even like today, I've done it where things happen.

And I'm like, well, you know, if she wouldn't have done this or that guy wouldn't have done this or this, the economy wouldn't have been this or this person would have done something different than my life would be different.

Maybe it would in the micro, but in the macro in the grand scheme of things, you are the product of your own choices of your own decisions of your own actions and you're reaping the benefit or the consequence of those decisions that you've made over decades of your life, whether they're good consequences, good results or negative consequences that you happen to be dealing with.

Today, I want to talk with you about something that I think is really, really important. This is going to be a short punchy podcast. I'm not in an awesome mood right now. I'm a little feisty. I'm a little fiery. Maybe you hear it in my voice, but I want to share something with you that I think is really important.

And that is this. The only thing that moves the needle in your life is what you do. It's not what you think about doing. It's not what you talk about doing. It's not what you ponder and pontificating on doing. It's not what you plan on doing. It's not your cleverly crafted
