Sovereignty & Why Life is More Meaningful When It’s Hard w/ Ryan Michler | BiggerPockets Podcast 429

How many times has something happened in life where we blamed someone besides ourselves for the outcome? Didn’t get a promotion: it’s your bosses fault for being greedy! Ran late to work: it’s all the other drivers faults, not yours! Investment property having problems: it’s the tenant doing all the damage!

Ryan Michler, founder of the Order of Man, sees this sort of victim mentality as a massive block to our full potential. He makes the well-put point that all we can do is control our effort, we can’t control others.

This realization didn’t come easy, though. Ryan realized this after a tough fight with his partner, leading him to reevaluate not only their relationship, but the way he shifted blame on others, in an unhealthy way.

Now Ryan interviews the men that he looks up to on his own podcast, all while running his organization/brotherhood of those part of the “Order of Man”.

It’s not easy to stay humble and calm all the time, especially in the state of our current world, but Ryan does as good of a job as any to remind us all that our future is in our hands, and all we can do is try our best, consistently.

The truth is sometimes hurtful but we must face it. My greatest example is when my stocks is doing horribly. I don't want to look at it but I have to face the reality of it!

Perfect advice moment: go from “I” to “us and we” especially to the married people! Really good advice!

Take a shot everytime David green says "this is one of my favorite episodes"

[KayFabe]

Excellent episode with some great insights and lessons for everyone. I am sure some of the pearl-clutching snowflakes will be triggered by the fact that Ryan's organization is called the Order of Man, and will simply close their minds to the wisdom being shared here. If one listens to this episode with an open mind, a great deal of value will be gained.

35:00 Making life harder on purpose is an Amish trait. The Amish believe they get better rewards in the afterlife for the hardships on Earth. Hence the oil burning lanterns, stick pins in clothes instead of buttons, and outhouses.

Litany of Humility

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus. (repeat after each line)
From the desire of being loved,
From the desire of being extolled,
From the desire of being honored,
From the desire of being praised,
From the desire of being preferred to others,
From the desire of being consulted,
From the desire of being approved,
From the fear of being humiliated,
From the fear of being despised,
From the fear of suffering rebukes,
From the fear of being calumniated,
From the fear of being forgotten,
From the fear of being ridiculed,
From the fear of being wronged,
From the fear of being suspected,
That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. (repeat after each line)
That others may be esteemed more than I,
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease,
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
That others may be preferred to me in everything,
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should,
