In this powerful episode, David Maxwell of Thriving Man tackles a struggle many of us face: releasing the need for approval and letting go of what others think.Introduction: The Trap of Seeking ApprovalDavid opens with a relatable illustration: trying to impress a professional drummer while playing in a band, highlighting how easy it is to get caught in the trap of focusing on what others think. This desire for external validation can prevent us from truly living as the men we were designed to be. This episode, part of the Insecurity Series, is all about helping you live a thriving life.The Historical Struggle with External OpinionThe struggle with what others think is not new. From fashion choices to relationship decisions (like picking a partner for appearance rather than connection), we often let external perceptions dictate our lives. David clarifies that it's not about never caring what people think, but about releasing the need for approval. When you live for others' approval, you lose control of your own life.Two Keys to Releasing the Need for Approval1. Build a Healthy DetachmentHealthy detachment is not coldness or indifference. Instead, it's a mature and balanced way of relating to the world. It allows you to:Focus on your individual well-being while engaging in respectful interactions.Navigate complex relationships without losing yourself.Practice compassion without enmeshment and engagement without undue emotional burden.Live authentically, without playing a part or acting out a character.Cultivate empathy and build healthy connections, avoiding the people-pleasing trap.Healthy detachment requires truth:Be honest about your own strengths and weaknesses.Be truthful in your dealings with others, speaking honestly about your actions.Jesus is presented as an example: loving and empathetic, yet speaking uncomfortable truths and not letting others control him.2. Learn to Release ControlYou cannot control what others think of you, so stop trying. This doesn't mean you don't care, but it means their opinions can't control you. David illustrates this with examples like wearing uncomfortable fashion trends or putting on an "I don't care mask" – both are attempts to control perception. The key is to simply be you.Trying to control others' opinions often stems from our own insecurity. As you become more secure in who you are, acknowledging both your strengths and weaknesses, you'll develop a peace that permeates all areas of your life. While protecting your name and integrity is important, you ultimately cannot control what happens in other people's minds.Your Call to ActionStart by focusing on building your healthy detachment:Individual well-being: How are you growing as a man? Explore resources at Thrivingman.com.Respectful interactions: Are you cultivating strong friendships and relationships?By taking these steps to release the need for approval, you will unlock a whole new aspect of your life and truly begin to thrive.

Ready to boldly go where you've never gone before? Just like Captain Kirk on the Enterprise, there's a spirit of adventure inside each of us that yearns to connect with the unknown. But often, life feels less like a starship and more like being stuck in orbit, held back by the gravity of fear and insecurity.In this episode of ThrivingMan.com, join David Maxwell as we explore how to Unleash Your Courage: Living with a Spirit of Adventure. We'll dive into why that adventurous spark seems to fade as we get older and how to reignite it, breaking free from the paralysis of "what ifs."We'll uncover two powerful ways to cultivate this vital spirit:Willingness to Put Yourself Out There: Remember when you were a kid, learning to walk, undeterred by tumbles? We'll rediscover that "why not?" attitude that allows us to take smart risks and try new things, understanding that messing up is just part of the journey. It's about being authentically you, even when it feels a little scary.Separating Performance from Identity: What if a setback didn't define you? We'll explore the crucial skill of detaching your worth from your achievements. Whether you soar or stumble, your fundamental value as a person remains constant. This inner security is the bedrock that allows you to navigate both failure and victory with grounded wisdom.Ready to take the first step? Here's your mission:Get Grounded: Identify the unwavering foundations of who you are – your faith, relationships, and core values.Pick Your Adventure: Choose one area where you can intentionally step outside your comfort zone – whether it's being more outgoing, trying a new hobby, approaching dating with fresh eyes, deepening your faith, or building new friendships.Reflect and Grow: Start a habit like journaling to process your experiences and track your growth along the way.Visit Thrivingman.com for more resources to help you on your journey.It's time to stop holding back. Unleash your courage, embrace the spirit of adventure, and become the man you were designed to be!#Courage #SpiritofAdventure #Boldly Go #Insecurity #Fear #Hesitation #ComfortZone #NewExperiences #Risk-Taking #TryingNewThings #Failure #Performance #Identity #InnerSecurity

Self-Hatred ≠ Humility: Unmask Your True WorthEver notice those overpowered anime characters? Take Jin Woo from Solo Leveling. He starts out weak and becomes a total boss, yet he often still doubts himself.A lot of people think that's humility, but it's not. True humility isn't about thinking you're less; it's about being secure enough to think of yourself less and focus on others.I'm David Maxwell from thrivingman.com, where we help you conquer the chaos and build a truly thriving life.Today, we're tackling a common trap: mistaking self-hatred for humility. We'll unpack C.S. Lewis's powerful quote: "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less." So many of us get this wrong, constantly putting ourselves down, thinking that's what we're supposed to do. But this mindset hurts us and hinders our growth. Let's dive into how this plays out and how to naturally break free.The Mask Problem: Remember Jim Carrey in "The Mask"? Slapping on a persona because he didn't know how to be his authentic self? A lot of guys today struggle with this, wearing a "mask" to pretend or play a part because they're insecure. I saw this in myself after I found God, trying to cover up my insecurities by acting "humble," constantly putting myself down. It didn't work! It held me back. We've got to be careful we're not hiding behind a mask, preventing ourselves from learning how to be genuinely authentic in our worldview.The Gravity Issue: We often see ourselves as the sun in our own solar system, with everything revolving around "me." But while we're not the center of the universe, we're definitely not the trash of the universe either! We tend to go all-or-nothing: either we're the most important person, or we're worthless. This self-hatred doesn't benefit us or our relationships.The Focus Shift: The key to true humility isn't dwelling on your perceived shortcomings; it's intentionally shifting your focus outward, towards serving and helping others. Think about walking into an event and your first thought being, "Who can I help feel comfortable here?" Genuine care and service is the core of humility. But be warned: serving to "network" or get ahead is just another form of pride. We want to authentically serve because it's a natural expression of humility. Interestingly, it's often in serving others that we discover and develop our gifts.True humility is being secure enough to take the spotlight off yourself.Check your Masks: Are you hiding behind a persona?Check your Universe: Does everything revolve around you?Work on Shifting Your Focus: Intentionally look for ways to serve and help others.For more help on living a thriving life, head over to www.thrivingman.com.

At the turn of the year David Maxwell takes us on a journey through the four seasons with highlights from 12 months of Gardeners' Corner. From snow covered Downhill Demesne to clearing up after the storms at Hillsborough Castle Gardens, from the Kew Gardens of Connemara to Sarah Raven's world famous Perch Hill garden – David brings lessons from a year of gardening on the airwaves. Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

Get ready for a festive gardening get together as David Maxwell and the Gardeners' Corner team head to Ballywalter Park on the Ards Peninsula. Gathered around a roaring fire outdoors, they'll be celebrating the season with mince pies, mulled wine and plenty of practical gardening advice inspired by the contents of custom-made Christmas crackers and Secret Santa gifts. Also on the programme - Anna Hudson on the Christmas garden of the past, Lady Dunleath cooks up some alternative Christmas cuisine grown and reared on the Estate, and inspiration from Mary Doris on using the garden to decorate your home for free. With a healthy dollop of fun throughout, this seasonal special is not to be missed.

Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story―from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder―and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments.8 pages of illustrations 1115-1130 2/4: Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist Hardcover – November 12, 2024 by  Richard Munson  (Author) 1130-1145 3/4: Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist Hardcover – November 12, 2024 by  Richard Munson  (Author) 1145-1200 4/4: Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist Hardcover – November 12, 2024 by  Richard Munson  (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 PRC: Deflation: Anne Stevenson-Yang, author of Wild Ride: China's Short-Lived Experiment in Capitalism, on @GordonGChang, Gatestone, Newsweek, The Hill https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/12/china-stresses-plans-to-boost-growth-at-top-agenda-setting-meeting.html 1215-1230 KOREA: Tangled by CONSTITUTIONAL law.

In today's podcast, we are looking at life for people with Down Syndrome in Africa. Down Syndrome is a genetic condition where a person is born with an extra chromosome; they'll have an extra copy of chromosome 21, making 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. It alters the development of the body and brain, leading to delays in areas like speech. In Africa, people with the condition often face additional barriers, a shorter life expectancy because of limited healthcare, delayed diagnosis, and scarce support systems. Opportunities for education and employment can also be hard to come by which exacerbates the stigma they experience. So, what can be done to begin to change this? Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja hears from Eunice Koros, a Kenyan mother, and her son Ivan Kiprono, a 26-year-old man with Down Syndrome who works at their family factory. He also speaks to David Maxwell, Project Manager for the Down Syndrome Association of Ghana, who shares how witnessing his sister's life with the condition inspired him to advocate for change.
